id=\"890\">&#8230;.<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span id=\"p1011\">Being more efficient puts some weird pictures in our heads.<\/span><span id=\"p882\"> Long work hours <span id=\"898\">you<\/span>

Every business is different! Depending on your business (and other obligations and roles you have to attend to) you could structure your month accordingly. I don&#8217;t want to go to the extreme with that, because there will be appointments you can not be able to move or your cycle is just so messed up, that there would be no way of planning. What I want you to do is to observe yourself. Notice how much energy you have or if you need more breaks than the day before.<\/p>\n<p>For me it was more efficient to work in &#8220;Waves&#8221;. So automatically I did put in more hours and drive in the first two weeks often working some hours in the evening, when the kids been in bed already. The last week of the cycle I often felt tired. After my breakdown I did listen to my body and slowed down. No evening shifts, sometimes days where I just sat down with an interesting book or watched a motivational movie. You are your business. You decide! You don&#8217;t need to run in your self-made hamster wheel. You can also walk! And you are allowed to take time out for you.

Every business is different! Depending on your business (and other obligations and roles you have to attend to) you could structure your month accordingly. I don&#8217;t want to go to the extreme with that, because there will be appointments you can not be able to move or your cycle is just so messed up, that there would be no way of planning. What I want you to do is to observe yourself. Notice how much energy you have or if you need more breaks than the day before.<\/p>\n<p>For me it was more efficient to work in &#8220;Waves&#8221;. So automatically I did put in more hours and drive in the first two weeks often working some hours in the evening, when the kids been in bed already. The last week of the cycle I often felt tired. After my breakdown I did listen to my body and slowed down. No evening shifts, sometimes days where I just sat down with an interesting book or watched a motivational movie. You are your business. You decide! You don&#8217;t need to run in your self-made hamster wheel. You can also walk! And you are allowed to take time out for you.
