054 How to Find the Time

Today we continue our series of episodes on self-care for entrepreneurs. So far we're looked at the importance of setting boundaries, we've explored the difference between needs and desires and I've encouraged you to get very clear about your needs and to commit to meeting them. 

Today we tackle the biggest objection of all when it comes to prioritising self-care: I simply don't have the time.

What Is Covered:

-How to prioritise time for personal needs amidst a busy schedule

-How to identify opportunities for self-care

-Why you should batch tasks based on the energy required to perform them

-How to balance social media use without compromising self-care time

-Why scheduling time for self-care is essential

Busy entrepreneurs rarely find time for self-care, yet it is essential since it affects their well-being, effectiveness and productivity. The more structured and organised your schedule is, the easier it'll be to find a free slot you can fill with time for personal needs. If you are still reluctant to include self-care in your schedule, consider it an investment in your ability to actually make a difference.
