Does your plate look like this?
It’s not just full, it’s overflowing
You can’t find your rhythm, because every time you take two steps forward you have a fire to put out leaving you 5 steps back?
Yes, I’m familiar with that frustration. It feels like a vicious cycle. Like how is EVERYONE else doing life gracefully, while I’m being dragged through the mud?
It’s not like that. Many people have a plate that looks like this. The difference between grace and dumpster fire is strategy!
Stop demanding to do everything yourself! When I became a single mom to three kids 6 and under and became their sole financial provider I knew I needed to delegate some of the things on my plate.
- Things that took away from my time with the kids- GONE
- Things that gave me anxiety if they weren’t done- GONE
- Things that took time away from making money- GONE
- Boundaries- Fully implemented
So what do I mean? Because everything written on this plate needs to get done, right?
Did you know there are people in this world who earn a living doing things for you! Sometimes you have to spend money to make money. You can pull from areas in your budget where you’re wasting money.
Things I hired out that used to add up to many hours each week:
- Deep cleaning (you know, vacuum, mop, bathrooms, kitchen, etc)
- Yard work - no, thanks
- Coach- yep, I have one who writes my training. Otherwise I’d never do a split squat for the rest of my life
- Started having groceries delivered. Shop weekly on the Hannaford App
- Using a meal plan
- Which turns into solid meal prep
The hours saved turned into focused hours on myself, my business and my sanity which has lead to growth and confidence.
It doesn’t happen overnight and maybe you start in baby steps, but no steps = no change, no results, no sanity.
Let me know if you need help getting organized, it is my specialty!
