π Surviving Half-Term When You're Self-Employed! π
Half-term can be chaos when you run your own business! You want to keep work moving but also make memories with your kids. Hereβs how to juggle both without losing your sanity! π
β¨ Plan Ahead β Get ahead of deadlines so you can enjoy more free time. Make a to-do list and prioritise urgent tasks so you're not overwhelmed.
β¨ Adjust Your Hours β Work early mornings or evenings to free up time during the day. Even an extra hour before the kids wake up can make a huge difference!
β¨ Set Expectations β Let clients know you may be slower to respond. A quick email or auto-reply can help manage their expectations and reduce stress.
β¨ Keep Kids Busy β Activity kits, outdoor fun, audiobooks, or playdates can work wonders. Try scavenger hunts, arts and crafts, baking challenges, or even simple chores made fun!
β¨ Use Screen Time Wisely β A little bit of educational content wonβt hurt! πΊ Opt for interactive learning apps, nature documentaries, or kids' yoga to keep them engaged while you work.
β¨ Get Extra Help β Grandparents, holiday clubs, or childcare can be lifesavers. Even swapping childcare duties with another working parent can give you some valuable work time.
β¨ Make Time for Fun β Even a small adventure can make their break special! π Plan a picnic, a mini road trip, or even a DIY movie night at home complete with popcorn and blankets!
β¨ Involve Them in Your Work β If possible, let them help! Kids love stamping envelopes, organising papers, or even pretending to "work" next to you.
β¨ Be Kind to Yourself β Some days will be messy, and thatβs okay! π Youβre doing your best, and thatβs what matters most. Don't stress if things donβt go perfectly, just go with the flow!
