What To Do with Your To-Do?s?
July 28, 2010

I remember when I was working in my corporate job having to take a personal day here and there to take care of “life stuff”.  It was no big deal.  I alerted my manager, made out my list of to-do’s and off I went.  Mission accomplished.

Fast forward to mompreneurship.  I still have the same, if not more, life stuff.  I still have my list of to-do’s.  I even alerted myself that I need to take a day off to complete these tasks by marking them on my calendar.  Yet they either remain undone or, worse, I spend the day feeling guilty that I’m not “at work”.
 
Why is it ok to take time off from a corporate job to take care of things and not ok when you’re a business owner?  Life still goes on and there are still things that must be taken care of, but why does it feel, as I work my way through my list, like I’m sneaking around behind my own back?
 
Fellow mompreneurs (and in particular sole mompreneurs) …how do you reconcile this in your own lives?  How do you find the time to take care of the unending list of to-do’s and household projects while still keeping your business going?
 
My to-do list and I are standing by…
