If your calendar looks like a toddlerâs sticker bookâevery square inch plastered with âimportantâ stuffâđ¨ we need to talk.
Running your own business isnât about squeezing 26 hours into a 24-hour day; itâs about owning the 24 youâve got. When youâre truly in charge of your schedule, thereâs room for the curveballs that make life interesting:
-
đ§ A spontaneous brainstorming sprint with a client
-
đą Coaching a team member who just had an âaha!â moment
-
đ¤ Listening to a friend in meltdown mode
-
𤢠Cleaning up the⌠situation (kid, dog, cat, youâno judgment)
-

4 Ways to Build Buffer Time
-
Capacity-Plan Like a Boss

Automate the Mind-Numbing Stuff
Recurring invoices? Social-media posts? Let the bots handle it while you sip coffeeâor stop the dog from taste-testing the recycling. -
Shuffle the Deck
Re-assign tasks to team members who have slack. No team? Outsource pocket-size projects. Delegation is not a dirty word.
Stay tuned for more ways to have a life while running your business.
