For the past week, I have been promising myself I am going to get more organised!!!
I have found since I have not been going out to work each day, that the days slip by and I often feel I have achieved nothing. I am definitely not getting to spend as much time in the garden. Why is this?
When I was doing the 9 to 5 thing, and getting home at 6 o’clock, I usually managed to get an hour or two in the garden most evenings. Now I find I am lucky to get that much time in the week! Granted the weather has not been so good, but still????
So this week I promised myself that I would put more structure around my day. However, that hasn’t worked. So I will have to start again tomorrow – Monday.
Keeping up a Facebook page for the business is time consuming. But I am thinking of structuring the day, so that I look at it maybe 3 or 4 times throughout the day.
Doing work for clients can be a bit more structured – a time limit for each job. But that only works if the client doesn’t suddenly have an emergency, or decide they want to have a long chat while you are trying to get a job done for another client!
We’re almost at the end of another busy weekend… where we were teasing out some new ideas which will hopefully bring more work…. but more of that later.
And here I am on Sunday afternoon – planning my approach to getting things done next week.
Does anyone out there have solutions?
The freedom of being your own boss is a great gift… and a great challenge. I have been going through a massive clearance in the last 3 months and today is the first day in ages I feel I have a canvas to set some goals. I find that taking notes in a quick “to do” list is a great way to free the mind and something to look at in the morning and give me some direction.
I’m starting to read the 4hourworkweek book and this promises to be interesting… and also useful 😉
Best of luck with the plan!! 🙂
@Elora…. plan went kind of OK up to Wednesday…. then trips over to Galway on Thursday and Friday threw plan out the window! Back on schedule again next week!
