Are You a Chicken Without It's Head? Are You a Chicken Without It's Head? © Terri Seymour of SeymourProducts.com Have you ever heard the expression, "Running around like a chicken with it's head cut off!" Now, when I was a kid, we used to kill our own chickens and I know firsthand exactly what this means! ;-) Do you jump from one place or project to another and feel like you are never getting anything done? Do you rush through each day like a freight train trying to get all your work done. Family, home, business, work.........does it ever end!!??!! Life for most of us is pretty fast-paced and this can lead to problems both physically, and emotionally. What you need to do is "work smarter, not harder." I know we have all heard that one before and it is most definitely "easier said than done!" I am just full of them today, I guess! lol One thing you need to do is make out a schedule (with room for a little flexibility) that will be used as a guideline. Don't make the mistake of writing out an extremely tight schedule and then "frying your brains," trying to stick to it. Not being able to follow your schedule can be frustrating to say the least, but preparing a flexible schedule makes it less stressful on you and everyone else. You should also have a "to do list" for each day. Write down the most important things that HAVE to get done that day, followed by the things that should get done that day and then things that have time or are a continuing effort. For example: Monday To Do List Must Do - Write ezines, answer important email Try To Do - Add more resources to site, arrange ad swaps Continuing - Submit to directories I always have a list like this right next to me on my desk so I know what needs to be done each day. You also need to take some time for yourself. I have a hard time with this one and I am sure many others do as well. You feel like you just don't have the time to give yourself this luxury. But think of it this way, if you take this time for yourself, you will be much more relaxed and refreshed to get "more work done in less time!" What you can also do to help get things done is delegate the household chores. Give the kids each a few of the everyday chores. This helps a lot! They might gripe and groan, but it is good for them. Working at home to me is a blessing, but it sometimes can be very hard to keep everything (including yourself) going. You MUST have some kind of schedule and you MUST take some time for yourself as well as your family! If you do not, your business will suffer and so will your family! DO NOT feel guilty about stealing 30-60 minutes a day just for you. YOU deserve it and your family would probably agree! ************* Terri Seymour has several years online experience and has helped many people start their own business.
