Inspiration, tips, and advice for the home-based entrepreneur and those aspiring to be one – all served up with humour and cartoons.]
Finding a schedule and routine that works for you is not a one-shot deal. It may take time to work out the right one. A ‘Schedule on paper’ in ‘Google calender’ may look good, but it may not work with your actual work day.
A Routine Test
The best way to learn if a schedule will work for you is to try it out. Think of it like trying on clothes, or taking a trial version of a software program for a spin. Taking the schedule and routine you outlined and applying it to real life is the only way to know for sure if it’s a good fit.
Nobody said you had to get it right the first time. As a newly self employed home-based entrepreneur, you have to learn what works best for your new life.
- Do you work best and at your peak early in the morning?
- Do you like to sleep in and really get going around 10?
- Do you putter around in the morning and work more efficiently in the afternoon?
- Do you sleep all day and work at night?
