Ep 30: The 8 Hour Summer Work Week

Summer is here, my friends.  This is my favorite and the busiest time of the year.  When I lived in Arizona and was just a mom to one, I started a tradition.  Get your summer planner here: www.iammichellegifford.com/summerschedule Instagram: www.instagram.com/iammichellegifford My husband was in medical school and Arizona summers were HOT!  So, I packed up my car and took my baby to Utah for a whole month while my husband got in all the studying he needed to do.  This was a win-win for both of us.  He really didn't have time to hang out with us and I was so tired of being in 115 degrees. Since then, I have taken my kids away to Utah for the summer every year.  This month riding horses and playing on the ranch where I grew up is the month that we live for and dream about all year long.  But, just because I am scheduled to party this summer, doesn't mean that I won't be getting work done. I try very hard to balance time with my kids, having fun and getting work done so that my business keeps going and growing.  Because of this, I have created a system on how to create the perfect 8 hour work week for me.  This system gives me the flexibility and accountability I need to get my work done ahead of time and turn my business on autopilot when I need to. Before I jump in, let me tell you how this works.  I will not begin to guess what your summer looks like.  Some of my readers have little kids, some have older, some don't have kids at all.  This system is flexible.  It will help you make big decisions up front so that you can fit in work where it feels the best.  I've called it the 8 hour work week, but it can be more or less depending on how much time you are able to give.  So, I will be giving you an example of how I use it, but mix it up and do what works for you.
