Description: In this episode of the Balancing Busy podcast I have an amazing conversation with Camille Walker. Camille is the host of the podcast, Call Me CEO. In fact, I was recently a guest on her podcast. You can catch my episode on her show here. Camille shares with us how we can set ourselves up to balance the busy in times when we just aren’t feeling it: Those times when things don’t seem to be going smoothly, or we feel like we are in a funk. Let’s be honest, it’s easier to manage all the things when there’s a pep in your step and things are going really well, but it’s an entirely different feat to balance the busy when things aren’t going as planned. 
This will help: 

👉 Busy entrepreneurs identify their “women at the well” 
👉 Business mamas create a community of support 

In this episode: 

4:01 Women at the Well 
9:32 Setting Yourself Up for When Things Get Hard 
14:56 Focusing On What You CAN Do 
18:41 How To Motivate Yourself (When You Really Aren’t Feeling It) 
23:58 Safe People To Talk To 
28:06 You Must Have Self Compassion

 As we're coming down to the wire and Christmas is almost here, I want to offer you this little reminder: Christmas doesn't have to be perfect. All of the things that we still need to do might be high on our list and fresh in our minds, and might be a big focus right now.  But I want to ask you to pause and I want to ask you to think about what really matters.

In this episode we are talking about the importance of having an "end of work" routine and why you need one especially when you work from home.  The line has blurred between where work ends and where home begins. Add to that, the fact that our work is literally in our pocket at all times, and it's easy to see how work life balance can be thrown out the window.

And that's why we're talking today about creating an end of work routine. Something that signifies the workday is over but doesn't leave you feeling terrible because you didn't do enough. And that's the real critical part. We let work spill over because we feel like there's always more to do. But what if we could do the work better in less time so that we can have those boundaries and feel really good about it? (Spoiler: we CAN!) 

This will help:

👉 Anyone who wants better work life balance
👉 Those who can't seem to shut work off 
👉 Work from home moms shift gears easily 

In this episode: 

0:40 Why You Need an End Of Work Routine
3:29 Where the 40 Hour Work Week Came From m
5:28 Work Life Balance DOES Exist
8:33 Setting Office Hours
9:40 The Power of an Alarm

11:06 Daily Five and Time Blocking 
12:51 Make a Physical Switch
