Creating a successful home improvement business and growing your career is a lot of work, so it’s important to find time to kick back and relax too! Here are some tips to help you keep on track and strike the right work-life balance for you.
Manage Your Time.
Juggling homeowners, suppliers, schedules and the hundreds of other tasks you manage on a day-to-day basis takes a lot of work and an even better system. Optimize your time and resources with these time management strategies:
- Prioritize your tasks – handle the most important items first.
- Time blocking – dedicate specific times to complete certain tasks.
- Manage distractions – find ways to combat your biggest distractions to keep on task.
- Get organized – keep the materials and tools you need for common tasks easily accessible.
- Plan ahead – schedule time for both work and personal matters to ensure each is being addressed.
- Set goals – create attainable benchmarks for the day to help you stay on track and motivated.
- Make a list – keep track of what you need to do and what’s already been done.
- Delegate – don’t take on everything yourself if you have the option to ask for help.
- Don’t overbook – leave room in your day to compensate for tasks or appointments that take longer than expected.
Plan and Take Vacation Days.
