Today is the first day back from a long weekend away. I know everything was stitched up when I left, but as I walked in today, I wasn't sure where to begin. Some how the place in a mess, there are a dozen phone calls to return, catch up on inventory and place an order, and if I'm lucky at least one minute to take care of some errands for things I need at home.
My whole day will me a mess if I don't focus. I find sanity in pre-planning my day to day business up keep. Blocking time in my schedule to tackle the routine business to do list keep me on top of everything in my shop. When I see time dedicated to completing the tasks on my to do list, they get done. That leaves me the rest of the time to do the work I love to do, clients!
