What do you do if your business is consuming all your time and energy?

Assessing your business reality is like cleaning out your closet. You open the door and see overflowing shelves (tasks), right? But are all those clothes (activities) your favorites (productive)? Take a closer look and identify what tasks to delegate or can be automated. This decluttering will free up your time for the things that truly matter. Bonus "Ado" Tip: Don't tackle your overflowing closet (business) alone! Get a friend (colleague) or use sorting tools (time management apps) to help you categorise and prioritise. This fresh perspective and helpful tools will make the clean-out (assessment) faster and more effective, leaving you with a well-organized wardrobe (streamlined business) ready for success!

Setting work-life boundaries is like building a fence around your garden. You want your work life (flowers) to flourish, but you also need space for personal life (leisure area) to thrive. A clear fence (boundaries) keeps things separate but allows for healthy growth on both sides. Bonus "Ado" Tip: Don't be afraid to close the gate (switch off) after work hours! Communicate your boundaries clearly (polite "no" to emails) and stick to them. This will allow you to recharge in your personal space (garden) and come back to work refreshed and ready to bloom (succeed)!

Delegate tasks effectively to alleviate the burden of managing your business alone. Identify areas where others can contribute and assign responsibilities accordingly. Whether it's hiring employees, outsourcing specific tasks, or automating processes, delegating allows you to focus on high-priority activities while fostering growth and efficiency within your business. Clearly communicate expectations, provide necessary training or resources, and trust your team to deliver results. By empowering others to take on tasks, you can achieve a better work-life balance and drive sustainable success for your business.

A arte de delegar n?o é t?o simples quanto parece, é necessário criar conex?o com o seu time, trazer seguran?a aos liderados e ter um processo de acompanhamento muito bem definido para que você n?o perca o controle das atividades. Uma das coisas que mais vejo s?o gestores tentando controlar os colaboradores com sistemas, mas na minha experiência o que mais funciona é uma cultura direcionada ao desenvolvimento colaborador, alinhada com feedback e desenvolvimento contínuo

Self care is so under rated. Consider what they tell you on an airplane to “put on your mask before you help others”. If you don’t put on your mask and engage in self-care, how much longer do you think you can help others? Would you rather take an hour a day for self-care to be able to go on indefinitely? Or have to take three months off in order to recharge because you’re burned out? What would be better for you? Your clients? Your career?

Track your time daily and write down how much time you allocate for each task, including regular ones like reading and replying to e-mails. How many minutes or hours does it take per week to complete that task or project? Then, calculate whether the time is worth it. If you enjoy performing a task and have good skills, such as e-mail marketing, consider outsourcing or finding ways to reduce the amount of time you spend on that task. You want your output to be higher. That means consuming content and courses doesn't count in the amount of work you need to do to move the needle. Evaluating data and checking if your efforts produce the expected ROI are also crucial. Take care of your mind and body in the process. You are not a robot.
