Episode 77
How do you survive your busiest seasons?
In this episode of Big Questions, Short Answers, we talk about what to do when your workload doubles … or triples. Busy seasons will always come and go, and it’s important to have safeguards in place to protect ourselves during the busiest times.
If you’re a high-achiever (*raises hand*) it can feel really difficult to say no or to delegate because you want to show others that you can do it all. But if we don’t find ways to triage our workload, we end up becoming an even bigger burden on everyone. Spoiler alert: ‘say no’ and ‘delegate’ are tips one and three in this episode.
At the end of the episode, I share some of the hacks I used to give myself more time when I was first launching my business. Learning to manage your to-do list during your busiest seasons will protect your work and yourself.
