Do you crave free time but feel guilty when you finally take it? 😬 You’re not alone! This week, many of my clients have shared this struggle, and I bet you might be nodding along too 🙋🏻♀️
The struggle with free time
We often long for free time but hardly allow ourselves to take it. And when we do, that nagging guilt creeps in, making us feel like we should be doing something “productive” instead. It’s a constant battle.
This paradox is common among busy Mums juggling family life and a business.
A simple strategy – scheduling free time
Here’s a simple yet effective strategy: schedule your time, including free time.
By intentionally setting aside time for yourself, you can truly enjoy it guilt-free. You know you’re on top of your other commitments, so you can relax and savour those precious moments of rest ✨
Why scheduling free time works 👇🏻
- Creates Structure
- Knowing that you have designated free time can help you stay focused and productive during your work hours. It creates a balanced structure in your day.
- Reduces Guilt
- When free time is planned, it becomes a part of your schedule, just like any other important task. This reduces the feeling of guilt since you know you have allocated time for both work and relaxation.
- Enhances Enjoyment
- With all your tasks and commitments accounted for, you can relax during your free time without worrying about what else you should be doing.
