This case study comes from one of my clients, who’d scheduled her homeschooling block right before her work time block, but then found that her homeschooling time wasn’t necessarily always ending right when it needed to and thus she was getting shorted on her work hours to fulfill client projects.

(Not a good thing, let me tell you!)

Because you know kids are kids - some math lessons are harder to work through than others, or sometimes they sleep in a little more that day, or maybe they’re just in a bad mood that morning.

And you can’t expect one 40-minute homeschooling block to cover all of these scenarios.

But here’s what you CAN do, as I told her.

You’ve got this!

It’s all a matter of essentialism – of business decluttering – to get you as streamlined as you can possibly be – which means as reliable as possible about checking off those “have to happen by end of day” to-do lists.

You see....

• I wasn’t always an essentialist.
• I didn’t always have this ability to hone in on the most important thing in my to-do list and just do that.
• I wasn’t always the person who knew how to take breaks and to sit down and to stop go-go-going.

But minimalism taught me that.

And do you know what that looks like from the business end? (That’s the level of business KonMari I’m diving into today!)

Newsflash: you’re already in a master’s level business program.

When you’re scaling your business, or bringing on multiple team members for the first time, it’s kind of like you’re starting a new degree.

It’s a finite time period, with noticeable workload, that produces a specific result.

And everyone in your family knows to work around that (i.e., expect you to be spending evenings and weekends on your homework and papers).

Here’s how to let your family know that you’re in a temporary push season....

Listen - you’re allowed to hold boundaries with your toddler and reserve naptime for yourself & your business.

You’re NOT being a bad mom for sending her back to her room at nap.

Because part of working from home is having the confidence that everything your business needs today got checked off - and that directly crosses over into your mindset.

You have to know that you’re being a good mother EVEN as you’re setting those super clear time boundaries with your young kids….

And here’s how.

How do you readjust your week’s workflow when you know you’re going to catch the family bug sooner or later… but you’ve got clients and students and deliverable projects to keep in the air??

(And inside you’re resenting your kids for ruining your nice, was-going-to-be-productive week and swapping it out for taking care of sickies!)

The one thing I for-sure-for-sure know is that if you’ve got THIS one thing in place, it’s actually a really quick and easy process to rejigger your to-do list on the fly as soon as the first kid starts sniffling.

You’ve got clients flowing in the door; all the invoicing and transaction entering and profit taking that goes along with them; more half-finished deliverables than you can shake a stick at; oh, and a family and body that you’re supposed to take time for, too.

And the reason you haven’t done anything about it yet is that you’re on contract with each and every one of those clients, so you don’t want to do anything legally liable in your search so far for more day to day balance!

That was the case for Client A today, so here’s the unbusy medicine the productivity doctor ordered....
