7 TIPS FOR BUSY ENTREPRENEURS DURING THE HOLIDAYS ๐๐
๐ป๐
1๏ธโฃ Reassess your goals - Take a quick look at this yearโs goals. Are you on track? What are you realistically going to complete before the end of the year? Now is the time to decide what is priority and what can wait till next quarter.
2๏ธโฃ Schedule Work & Play - Schedule the work that needs to be done and the parties that need to be attended. If your children are taking part in any shows or events, be sure to get the dates from them as soon as possible so that you can put them in your calendar.
3๏ธโฃ Delegate Work - Delegate as much work as possible. Get family to help with the holiday preparations. Start by not taking on too much and the holidays will be happier for everyone.
4๏ธโฃ Contact Clients/Customers - Give advanced warning to clients or other business contacts when you are taking your holidays. If everyone is aware in advance they are less likely to come looking for you when you are just about to knock off for the holidays. Donโt forget to wish them all Happy Holidays!
5๏ธโฃ Balance Work and Relax time - For some, a complete break from work will not be possible, so if youโre not allowed to completely stay away from work, make sure you have enough free time in between work. Take a look at the days you are scheduled to be off and plan the time with family and friends.
6๏ธโฃ Set Boundaries - Remember that being overworked is often your own fault. Do you say โnoโ often enough or set the boundaries required in order to live a happy and balanced life?
7๏ธโฃ No Guilt - Donโt waste your holiday time feeling guilty. Life is for living and guilt is a wasted emotion. Be present over the holidays, and when you are working, work. When you are on holidays, donโt think about work. Focus on the people who are around youโthe important, special people who you want to spend time with during the holidays. Work will be waiting for you on the other side.
