Let’s talk about balancing your Family and work when it comes to outsourcing. Just like when you work away from home you would not ask an employee to try to fix the broken copier but you would call the copier repair dude to fix it. He has done it a million of times and it isn’t a good way to spend your time for your employer that paid you to run the accounting department.

One of the best ways to save time is to batch your work together. Batching means to do all like things at the same time. An example would be what I do on Sunday night to prepare for the next week. I get my calendar out and look at what I have to do. When I see that I need to do two or three things that have the same theme then I make sure that I do them together.

And the crazy thing is you are bound to do it over and over again until you just drop to the floor in the bathroom and say out loud “I can’t do this anymore, something has to give!” That is what happened to me. I didn’t even know I was in the crazy busy cycle because I was so blasted busy to realize it. And believe it or not while I was in this busy cycle I thought that I wasn’t getting enough done. That’s embarrassing when your business has to do with helping others in their time management issues, LOL.
