How To Manage Your Time As A Mompreneur
One of the biggest obstacle anyone struggles with as an entrepreneur is time management. Adding the added pressure of parenthood makes this much more difficult to navigate. Not only do you have to worry about your own personal schedule and work flow as a mompreneur you have to manage your kids as well. There are a few things you can do to make this more manageable with realistic results and expectations.
Get your kids involved
They say the formative years of our children’s life are the most crucial. With that being said as a mom boss it only makes sense that we would include our children in the process when beginning to brainstorm about How to manage your time and what it currently not working in your current structure. Asking our kids questions about their own time management can teach them to be more self aware.
Ask your self and your kids questions like: What are my biggest distractions? How much time should it take me to complete certain tasks? Or How can I get myself back on track when I get distracted? Critically thinking as a family not only boosts your Childs problem solving skills but over time will make time management and other things much easier to navigate as they will start to gain independence and isn’t that every mompreneur’s dream.
Create a separate goal sheet for your children and your business
The daily tasks and schedule for you and your children are not created equally. To keep thing clean and organized it is recommended that you make separate time management goals sheets for you and your kids. If you have multiple children I would go as far as color coding things based on who it is for.
When navigating how best to manage your time ask your self and you children what you all are looking to accomplish in different categories. for example categories for the kids can include school, home, work and Personal. While Categories for a mompreneur will include home, work, personal, social, and even spiritual.
Set realistic milestones for your goals
Setting goals is a big deal. In the past I often found myself setting goals that were unrealistic. This lead me to feeling defeated and hyper critical of myself. To combat this I worked out a solution that works for me and I think it would be good for anyone working on goal setting to try. That is setting micro goals.
