Let's continue our discussion today on time management. Here are a few more keys that are crucial to a productive week.⁣
⁣
7. Limit Yourself⁣
It is important to remember not to overextend yourself. I remember when I first started working from home and I thought I could do it all. I mean, that was the reason I made the decision to work from home so that I could be mom, wife, and make money for the family. However, I soon realized that was not going to be the case. You have to be realistic or you will only be disappointed.⁣
⁣
8. Practice Self-Reflection⁣
Take time at the end of each week to evaluate what you were able to accomplish. Ask yourself a few questions:⁣
* What worked for you this week?⁣
* What didn’t work for you this week?⁣
* Did you have any downtime?⁣
* Did you feel overwhelmed this week?⁣
* Do you feel like you need more downtime?⁣
⁣
Use the answers to these questions and your self-evaluation to make improvements for the next week.⁣
⁣
9. Do Specific Tasks On Specific Days⁣
I find it helpful to set up my days by work themes. For example, I might focus on social media scheduling on Mondays/Wednesdays. Mondays/Wednesdays/Fridays, I tend to focus on more of the work I need to accomplish for my clients. This makes my days feel less overwhelming, but I still feel accomplished at the end of the day.⁣

Let's continue our discussion today on time management. Here are a few more keys that are crucial to a productive week. ⁣
⁣
4. Learn To Say No⁣
Honestly, this is something I still struggle with. It would be best if you learned to say no. James Altucher says in his book, The Power of No, “a well-placed ‘No’ can not only save you time and trouble; it can save your life.” Sometimes, I have to remind myself that I can’t do everything that I want to do, and I cannot always help everyone.⁣
⁣
5. Don’t Procrastinate⁣
Do your best not to procrastinate. I try to get my least favorite tasks out of the way as early during the week as I can. This keeps me from wasting mental energy on resenting what is coming. Some tasks almost feel like a dark cloud looming over my head. Once I get them out of the way, the rest of my day and sometimes the rest of the week seems like a breeze.⁣
⁣
6. Ask For Help⁣
Keep in mind that you are only human. Sometimes you will have to ask for help. It is ok to admit that you aren’t always able to do it alone. For example, I might have to have surgery soon. This is going to be a time that I will have to ask for help. I will not be able to drive or walk my son to school. Situations will arise where you will have to admit to not being about to do everything alone.⁣

“I think every working mom probably feels the same thing. You go through big chunks of time where you’re thinking, “this is impossible – oh, this is impossible.” And then you just keep going and keep going and sort of do the impossible.” – Tina Fey⁣⁣

As someone that runs their own business and works at home, I am always looking for ways to be more productive and manage my time. Over the next few weeks, I am going to share with you 12 keys to a productive week. Let's dig into a couple today. ⁣
⁣
1. All In The Planning⁣
A productive week starts with planning. I recommend creating a weekly schedule. Make sure you include daily routines and any appointments you might have for the week. Set daily priorities and goals. Be sure to include due dates if some tasks need to be completed by a certain time. For example, bills or doctor appointments.⁣
⁣
Remember, you will have situations arise that aren’t planned. However, having a planner for the week will help to alleviate any stress from unplanned events.⁣
⁣
2. Utilize Your Sunday⁣
It is very important to utilize your Sundays. I use Sunday afternoon/evenings to start preparing for the coming week. I use Sunday to get a few chores done that I might have skipped over on Saturday. Sunday is when I create my weekly schedule for the upcoming week. Sometimes, I even get started on a few things that I think might help me to ease the burden for the coming week.⁣
⁣
3. Focus On A Single Task⁣
The concept of focusing on a single task was hard for me to grasp. I am a mom. Multi-tasking is my middle name! Moms are pros when it comes to multi-tasking and it is key to being productive when working from home. However, the key is to multi-task correctly. You have to be very careful because you don’t want to look back over your day and see a whole bunch of unfinished tasks. However, by focusing on one task at a time, you might be able to complete the task sooner and the precision of the work will be spot on because you gave it your full attention.⁣

NO ONE will ever care about your dreams more than you! If there’s a fire burning deep inside you whispering “go for it”, “do it” and it overwhelms your thoughts… momma, take the risk.⁣

Raise your hand if you’ve ever felt like giving up on something. ⁣
⁣
Your goals? Your diet? Your side hustle? Just a difficult mom day? ⁣
⁣
Oh Yeah, I’ve had those days too. I don’t try to hide the fact that things can get TOUGH. But here’s what I do when it ALL gets too much: go for a run with some banging hip hop on my AirPods, hang out with my besties and drink copious amounts of coffee, or my personal favorite lately, take 15 minutes to cry it out. ⁣
⁣
What do you do when you feel like giving up? How do you turn things around?⁣

Let’s be honest, sometimes our significant others can walk a fine line with our nerves. This is true in any marriage. However, if you add kids and being stuck at home (quarantine, anyone?) then you can bet you are both going to be annoyed by the other at least once a week…ok, at least once a day. HAHA! I don’t know about you, but date nights are always a good way to recenter your relationship and remember why you fell in love. Remind each other that you are a team. However, with parenting and the new challenges that have come about today, it is hard to imagine a regular date night. So I have put together a list of stay at home dates for parents.⁣
⁣
1. Exercise Together⁣
2. Dinner at home, cooked by someone else.⁣
3. Dance⁣
4. At-home wine and cheese tasting⁣
5. Cook Together⁣
6. Trip Around The World⁣
7. Theme Night⁣
8. Upgraded TV Time⁣
9. Breakfast In Bed⁣
10. Living Room Campout⁣
11. Game Night⁣

What is something I think you should know?⁣⁣⁣
⁣
Build a support system! This is HUGE!! I can tell you that if I hadn't had a support system of fellow bloggers or mompreneurs, then I would have quit early on in this adventure. It was so crucial to have some people that I could vent to or bounce ideas off of! The brutal truth? Often, people who aren't into blogging or fellow mompreneurs aren't going to understand your dreams, concerns, fears, doubts; this is why it is essential to have people in the same boat as you. ⁣
⁣
⁣⁣I am here for you if you need someone to reach out to for advice or inspiration. ⁣
⁣
You can do this, Mama!⁣⁣⁣⁣

I remember a time where I would slide into bed at night, tired but wide awake, feeling trapped, unsatisfied, guilty, wondering if I was a good mom and that I just didn't have enough time in the day. ⁣
⁣
I would cry in the shower or in my car because I didn't want my husband or kids to see me break. I knew there had to be more to life than this. I often wondered where did that woman go that knew what she wanted and went and got it? Where was the woman that oozed confidence in her walk, talk, words, and smile? I would catch glimpses of that woman in the mirror while brushing my teeth, somewhere behind the mom-bun, milk-stained stretched out t-shirt and 3-day old yoga pants. I would feel her nudging at me to let her out, as I stared out the window while driving to run the millionth errand of the week. ⁣
⁣
It doesn't have to stay that way, Mama. I can help you close the door on survival mode and start thriving. Together, we can find that woman again. ⁣
⁣
You can have it all, Mama...and still rock those 3-day old yoga pants, while making money from your living room.⁣
