When I started my business, my ambitions were high. I was going to get so much done. Then the months went by and slowly I was getting more and more distracted. The kids needed to be taken care of, my kitchen was begging to be cleaned, I could work after the kids went to sleep, etc., etc. Several months in, I looked at myself and said, “What have you been doing for your business?” The answer was, very little.
I decided that I had to get organized. When I was in college, I had my schedule of when I would go in, when my assignments were due, and when I could take off. This helped a lot with accountability and making sure I got things done. I simply had to mirror that for my own business.
This is where Google Calendar comes in. With this wonderful technology, I was able to make myself a work schedule and sync it with my life. I now know when I need to reconcile certain accounts. I have a set time for working, and that is when I make sure my kids are settled and quiet, giving me at least a couple hours or more of dedicated work. With this calendar, I was even able to make sure that my meetings were never conflicting. Ahh, the wonders of technology.
