Work Life Balance

[Former_Member]

Does anyone have any great practice in place for balancing your ETSY shop with general household or work life?

Just curious, as I adjust to Etsy shop buyer cycles and business building. I figure this is something we all have to think about. :)

I think having a solid routine helps. Of course this depends on your personal circumstances, work schedule, and other household members.

Starting my day with a cup of coffee and an hour on Etsy promoting myself and others is a great routine for me and keeps me involved. Maybe ending your day with a glass of wine and an hour on Etsy could work for those with children or daytime work schedules? Just a few thoughts.

I am working really hard to get a routine together. When I started my shop I was in my office day in and day out creating and packaging and promoting. I have slowed everything down and made my way back to reality but I really do think a schedule would help me with everything. I think planing out how much time a day or week you want to spend working your business will really help keep things in focus.
