Maybe You're Doing It Wrong

                            Is this you? Maybe you're just doing it wrong.

 There's nothing better than working from home, being able to raise your own children, have total flexibility over your time, and all that goes along with it. However, it's not always easy! 

If you find yourself exhausted halfway through the day, like her, maybe you're just going about your day the wrong way. Get your priorities in order, make a schedule, set your daily goal or goals and allow sufficient time for each task that you need to accomplish. This is key!

Don't pile too many things on your plate, tomorrow is another day. Only do what you know you can do. Being self employed we tend to try to do more than we can, or think we should, in a day. 

Just act as if you were at a JOB and work at your daily tasks as you would if you had a boss looking over your shoulder (then thank the heavens above that you don't!) and try to keep a good pace.

This doesn't mean don't push yourself! Always do a little more than you think possible, but be realistic. Step out of your comfort zone, but don't be unreasonable!  Separate home and work times and get plenty of rest. If you do get overwhelmed, don't beat yourself up, it happens to the best of us! Keep in close touch with your peers, it's great to have motivation from someone who can relate. 

You need to be the best you can be, falling asleep in your soup is always counter productive! 

Here's to a great new week ~pm
