Business
In today’s episode of the podcast I talk about the Summer break and how you can manage your time during this time, as well as put a plan together so you can rest a little! KEY TAKEAWAYS COVERED IN THE PODCAST Don’t let the little things get to you Batch your content as much as possible What is the bare minimum you can do right now? What do you HAVE to do? Is there anything you can defer or delegate? Don’t beat yourself up if you can’t achieve something! Book some time off Offer calls with clients on the same days so you are set up and focused on doing that We often think we have to be flexible all the time – but if you give people less option they will make it work Is there anything you can move back to free up your time? Think about when you work – we don’t have to just work 9-5! Look at where you can fit a few hours in maybe before the kids are up or when they go to bed. All of this depends on you and your own situation – you have to make it work for you and remove the pressure Offer child swaps with a friend so you get some hours to work without the kids Explain to your children they are lucky their mum/dad work from home and they don’t have to go anywhere else You could also explain to your children that you need to work and would really appreciate a couple of hours undisturbed so you can get something done and then you will have time to spend with them If you have a team – can they do more? Make sure you have some time for you as well as your family! Don’t be hard on yourself – you are doing an amazing job THE ONE THING YOU NEED TO REMEMBER ABOVE ALL ELSE… Don’t feel guilty! We run our businesses and have busy, full lives, we can’t put our business on hold or our family on hold. We can only do as much as we can.

How are you doing? So last week was episode 200 little bit of a different one with me and my lovely husband. So you've not had chance to go and listen to that then please do go and do that. It's just a bit of a, like, ask me anything, some personal questions, some work questions, some funny questions. So, yeah, that was good fun, I enjoyed it. But like I said, something different for episode 200. Now time to get on with the next hundred episodes. So in this week's episode, it's going to be quite a quick one again, often with solo ones. If you're new to the podcast, when it comes to a solo episode, uh, sometimes it can be a little bit off the cuff and sometimes, you know, they can be really well planned, but more often, a little bit off the cuff. And this week, I want to talk about the fact of some holidays and the summer break and what we're going to do and how we manage. But before we talk about that. I want to tell you about an online event I'm doing. Now I'm very lucky that I get asked to do quite a lot of online events, which is great.
