Don`t Forget to Have Fun
It`s so easy to get caught up in building your business and end up neglecting everything else. I know because I`m terribly guilty of this myself. When you run your own business, it never goes away. You could literally work on it 24-7, if you didn`t need to sleep or eat or feed children!
All work and no play makes Jane a dull girl though and you`ll find that as a work at home mom, at least a chunk of time should be invested in having fun. I don`t care how you want to have fun, just do something you enjoy.
Think about something you love to do, whether it`s reading a book that doesn`t have anything to do with your business, watching a sitcom or rolling around on the floor with the kids. When was the last time you did that activity? If you answer more than a week ago . . . it`s time to stop reading this and go enjoy yourself!
Having fun means you will be more refreshed and able to work harder and more efficiently when you get back to work. So try it. Have some fun today. Ideally, you should do something every single day that you enjoy . . . it gives you a reason to wake up in the morning.
You are absolutely right about the 24/7 thing. I thik it’s even more difficult when you are just starting out. I’ve been at it for awhile and although I get caught up it once in a awhile. One of the best pieces of advice I ever hear on this topic sated a few simple words, “schedule your play time”.
