Today has been a day after a busy weekend, filled with unexpected choices and fine surprises
Why unexpected is fun
Routine is what I run my business and my family on; it doesn't even align with the hands on the clock, but it does align with the shadows of a sun clock. As an entrepreneur with children, a routine is also important for many parts of life.
If you don't want to look like you can win a beauty contest with a zombie at 40, then when you start kids you decide that a healthy sleep routine is primary for both the parents and the kids. Because now be honest, tired kids are also simply exhausting and make the days more intense.So it's a choice you take at an early stage, but it is the best one ever.
As an independent routine
The less you have to think about your choices as a self-employed person and you can maintain a set routine, the easier it is to get your work done. This sounds logical, but when every client is a “boss” and and pays your bill, it's helpful that those bills are also in on time before your kids start getting hungry. This also gives you the impetus to build your business into a success, as both benefit from you continuing to fuction in both areas. When your kids are happy and well fed, you are happy and it makes you work with you. Doing your work with a joyfull feeling, makes you earn more money and so on.. I think I will talk about this later on, now you will have to do with what is coming next...
Not this weekend
Going over what we were going to do this weekend, the answer came ... No specific plans. We spent this weekend without routine like going grocery shopping. No posts here on the platform, no phone answered. Just a weekend for us without planning every second of it. Even thought my son had to work, we just went for a drink with him after his work. We went to a restaurant we wanted to go for years.
I was just sick and tired of my 20+ years of planning that made me successful in many ways. But if it makes you sick and tired of it, it's time to give yourself a break. Just be flexible on the way and feel what feels best for you.
I hope you all hade a wonderful weekend and are going to have a joyful week. This mom is taking it as it comes, I will post when I feel up to it during another 5 weeks of planning. Maybe you see me, maybe you don't.
Life is full of unexpected surprises, let there be fun ones for a change.
