Everyone needs some time off now and then. In today’s episode of Best of Both Worlds, Sarah and I discuss how we manage time off in our lives and how, especially in our creative businesses, this involves working and planning ahead.
How does that work? Often through good daily planning routines! We use part of this episode to do a deep dive on how we handle daily scheduling and task management. We talk about time estimating abilities and how this can be a real stumbling block for people (one upside of time tracking is that it does become pretty hard to convince myself that something takes a different amount of time than it does).
Then in the Q&A we answer a question from a listener about how to handle the constant day care sick days. Day care has many wonderful attributes, but this is the primary reason we switched to nanny care many years ago, so we talk about that.
Please give the episode a listen!
