How to Get Back on Track After Life Got in the Way of Your Business

Did life just disrupt the day you had planned?

Perhaps you…

• Had a baby and went on maternity leave

• Fell ill and needed to rest

• Went on vacation and took time off

Whatever caused you to step away from your business momentarily, it’s okay!

>>It’s normal to have seasons when your business is not as much of a priority as your life.<<

But when it’s time to get back on track, allow us to share what’s worked for us in hopes that it will also work for you!‍

1. Try to complete all the things that can get done in less than 5 minutes first.

Checking tasks off your list helps you build momentum! Whatever you can do in 5 minutes or less, stop avoiding it. Get it done! 

2. Block out “buffer time” in your day.

Let’s be real… If you don’t schedule some buffer time into your schedule your whole day is probably thrown off.

This likely leaves you feeling:

• Stressed

• Overwhelmed

• Defeated

Anticipate for when something takes longer than planned so that you can avoid these crippling feelings and protect your time! 

3. Know the difference between “Important” and “Urgent”

It’s easy to feel like everything on your to-do list is important and urgent…

The reality is that most tasks throughout your day are not as urgent as they feel. We just easily feel that way when we’re not productive and tasks pile up. 

As you can see, small changes can make a BIG impact in your day.

What would it look like if you made some small changes to free up just a few short minutes each day?

• Take a 10-minute shower instead of 12

• Brew coffee the night before and drink it iced

• Plan your outfit the night before to save 7 minutes

• Plan for the unexpected

These are just some examples to get your wheels turning on how to get back on track after life has gotten in the way of your business.

There’s no right or wrong way to do it…

The most important thing is that you take ACTION when you’re ready to dive back in!
