Whether you are a mommy/daddy, organizer, blogger, business owner or all of the above, there comes a point in our lives when we realize we just can’t do it all. We try to take on the world, OH BOY, do we try. However, you can only spread yourself so thin before stress takes a toll on your body.
The best way to tackle this stress is to take a step back and look at what is on your plate….
Let’s say you are a mom working outside of the home and cleaning is what causes you the most stress. Can you afford to have someone come in once or twice a month to give the house a good scrub down? Or better yet, if clutter is your problem , mabe you need an organizer. (wink, wink)
Or, what about the small business owner that hates doing accounting. You are the creative type and the numbers get you down. The paperwork is accumulating and stifling your creativity. Perhaps it’s time to outsource that work to an accountant or assistant so you can go back to doing what you do best.
For me, I realized that I was spending way too much time trying to figure out little issues that I was having with WordPress. (For those of you that don’t blog, WordPress is what keeps this site going) I am the type of person that tries to figure out the little nuts and bolts of things when it comes to WordPress and computers in general. (GEEK) But when it comes down to it, this is not my passion, organizing is. I get frustrated with it and it changes my attitude toward the rest of the work I need to get done. So, this week I decided to find help.
I found a little WordPress angel named Cathy from Desperatley Seeking WP. I emailed Cathy on Sunday and my problem was fixed on Monday! How sweet is that! The small amount I had to pay made up for hours of frustration. Now I know I have someone to turn to that can help me with things I am less passionate about leaving me time to think about the other things that keep my business going.
Whether your having problems with dust bunnies, clutter, computer issues or life in general. There is someone out there that can help. It’s time to take a good look at what you have going on that is hindering your productivity. Even in a down economy delegating some of your work to others may be the an to get you on the right track again.
I know it works for me!
