Enlist Your Family in Your Organization
Sometimes you can’t organize everything yourself, or you get so far behind in your organizing that you get discouraged. Enlist others to help you, especially in your family.
If they aren’t involved in your business, arrange for help in your home, with work around the home, with other family tasks that enable you to be more efficient and effective in your business. My family often pitches in with work around the home when I have deadlines.
I recall the time I had a book deadline and had to closet myself into our bedroom where I had my computer and research set up. I pretty much only came out for meals that week or to take a walk for exercise. I had young grandchildren around, but didn’t have to help with them during that period, unless they accompanied me on my walks. The rest of the family took care of laundry, household tasks, meals which enabled me to concentrate on organizing my research, proof reading with my editor, and finishing my draft.
How do you enlist your family’s help with your organizing or when you have deadlines in your type of business?
