inspiration and enlightenment on social media and business
sound familiar?
- nYou’re considering getting up three hours earlier each day to squeeze in extra work
- Saturday and Sunday are just another work day
- You spent your last free time drumming up business
- You know some of the kids in the back garden are yours, you’re just not sure which
- You start sleeping in the office to save time
- Reading your email is the only recreation you have
- You don’t recognize a single story on the cover of the women’s magazines at the supermarket checkout
- Your dog doesn’t recognize you
- You gave up trying to make a to-do list because you know you’ll never complete it
- Your pile of unread books, papers and magazines threatened to brain you if it ever falls over
Yes, business can get crazy… but this quote puts it all into perspective:
“The work will wait while you show the child the rainbow.
But the rainbow won’t wait while you finish the work.”
So here’s some ways to manage you and your time!
- Sit down for 15 minutes at the start of each day;
- List what you want to fit into the day
- Prioritise the list
- Get real about what you know you can fit in and then
- Just get on with it
- Do the stuff YOU want to do
- Delegate out everything you possibly can
- Say no to distractions
- And bin the rest

I’m passionate about social media – I founded the online community entrepreneurette in 2006 and flokka, the blog network in 2008, after a decade and a half in magazine publishing. A typical ‘maven’ I love to share what I’m learning, researching and implementing - as well as what’s working for my clients, my students and my network members, in the worlds of social media and business in general. I’m Fiona Powell and this is my blog.
