Entrepreneurs are notorious for working long, extensive hours but “Domestic Mompreneurs” must have an efficient work/life/home balance. Establishing work hours can be beneficial in managing both home and business.

Time is an unrenewable resource. “If you don’t’ tell your time where to go, you’ll wonder where it went!”- The Domestic Mompreneur

If we don’t manage our time accordingly, we’ll look up and wonder where the days, weeks, and months have gone.

Mompreneur Time Management Tips:

• Shift thinking from completing tasks to condensing work to a set timeframe.
• Decide if a schedule is right for you
• Decide what your work hours will be
  • Block work schedule, if possible
  • Either set hours per day or full day(s) on weekends
  • Establish boundaries with other home tasks as well as family and friends
• Be honest with the time that you truly have available and plan accordingly
• Work according to your personal energy and creativity
• Schedule around your family’s needs. Remember family first!
• Respect your time and require others to do the same.
• Be consistent, establish routine
• Don’t waste time!
• Schedule your personal time off to prevent burnout

 

It is possible to show up for yourself and your business in a way that doesn’t neglect your family. Be flexible, but also intentional on carving out the time you need for your business.

No schedule will be perfect. Give yourself some grace.
