We all know what we should do every day, but mostly we don’t. Even the simple stuff, like doing the work that moves the needle before you hit Facebook or read your emails. I do that some days, but mostly not. Even this almost daily email gets written at various times throughout the day. Sometimes early, sometimes the last thing I do at night. Without trying to offend anyone, most people who do manage to have a consistent work schedule and are self-employed don’t have family near them. I’ve found that family are the big disrupter. While I love to have contact with them all regularly, I would prefer it was scheduled rather than random. It doesn’t seem to work that way. My wife gets a ‘phone call in the morning, next thing I know is that we have child-minding duties in 1/2 an hour for the next 4 hours. Even when I still went to a paid job, it was difficult to plan my day and stick to the plan. Random visits from other staff members, phone calls requiring action, management planning stuff for me, etc. That’s life folks. Life is random. Plans are great, but contingencies also need to be planned. Set your goals in concrete and your plans in sand. Find yourself $1 and follow the steps here: https://go.wm-tips.com/pathto6. A lot of what’s in here is setting up automation to get the job done even when life throws you curved balls. Regards, |
