If you’ve decided to take the leap and start a business or launch a new service, now is the perfect time. ⠀⁣
⠀⁣
I know it feels uncertain given what’s happening in the world. But thing is... we’re all stuck at home fighting something greater than ourselves.⠀⁣
⠀⁣
So maybe it’s time we CREATE something greater than ourselves, too.⠀⁣
⠀⁣
Your time is now. ⠀⁣
⠀⁣
That idea you’ve been sitting on for years... it’s ready. ⠀⁣
⠀⁣
That service you’ve been meaning to launch... it’s time. ⠀⁣
⠀⁣
That side hustle you’ve been putting on the back burner... it’s here.⠀⁣
⠀⁣
To be honest, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve put aside my best ideas because it “wasn’t the right time.” ⠀⁣
⠀⁣
Case in point ⤵︎ my upcoming launch for how to create a work with me page that works. I’ve been pushing this back since January.⠀⁣
⠀⁣
My time is now. Your time is now. We’re in this together. (Seriously, my inbox is always open!)

How to stay productive and motivated while working

How to stay productive and motivated while working from home ✨⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
✴︎ Gratitude⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
Lean into a gratitude practice first thing in the morning. I use the Five Minute Journal App on my phone. Taking a moment for gratitude will help you focus on the present.⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
✴︎ Momentum⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
Start your day with either the quickest task OR the one that brings you most joy. When you check off tasks quickly or with excitement, it builds momentum.⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
✴︎ Boundaries⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
Check in with yourself/your team about how long you will be able to dedicate to uninterrupted work. Set office hours, schedule your breaks.⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
✴︎ Batching⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
When you batch tasks, you group like items together. This keeps you focused on a flow state. Try to not jump between topics or tasks. If it happens, readjust!⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
✴︎ Self-Care⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
Make time for yourself. Take breaks. Exercise. Stay hydrated. Call your family. Wear fuzzy slippers. Listen to Spotify.⁣
⁣
Working from home doesn’t have to be boring or lonely. Creating a new habit or new schedule will require some readjustments, and I’m here to help.⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
➡️ Feel free to DM me while you’re working from home and we can have a virtual work party 🎉

Working from home might not be something you are u

Working from home might not be something you are used to, so here’s a list of the most helpful apps + tools that have helped me work from home for the past six years.⁣
⁣
𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗞-𝗙𝗥𝗢𝗠-𝗛𝗢𝗠𝗘 𝗧𝗢𝗢𝗟𝗞𝗜𝗧⁣
⁣
✴︎ Zoom ✴︎⁣
⁣
Video conferencing software that allows you to host video/audio calls & group conferences in a private meeting room. Zoom is a great place for hopping on video to get that face to face.⁣
⁣
✴︎ Loom ✴︎⁣
⁣
Screen recorder for desktop that allows you to share your screen to explain and present concepts in a short period of time. You can even run Loom from your Chrome browser! Instead of writing a long email, just hit the Loom icon and record a video.⁣
⁣
✴︎ Voxer ✴︎⁣
⁣
Walkie-talkie instant messenger app for your smartphone that allows you to send instant texts and voice notes to your contacts. It’s great for real-time updates, live communication. and quick thought blurbs.⁣
⁣
✴︎ Temi ✴︎⁣
⁣
Audio-to-text transcription app that I used to create this post! Temi allows you to record and upload voice notes for transcription. This is a great option for if you’re multitasking + need to send out any longer updates or releases.⁣
⁣
✴︎ Calendly ✴︎⁣
⁣
Free appointment scheduling software that allows you to book calls. Working from home can be a struggle and you may not be able to work 9-5 every day! Instead, you can set your schedule and book time slots based on your availability.⁣
⁣
✴︎ Slack ✴︎⁣
⁣
Instant communication app that’s essentially a chat room for your team. You can create different channels for specific topics, which keeps conversations contained. Slack also makes it easy to send GIFs! *kermit the frog sips tea*⁣
⁣
✴︎ Asana ✴︎⁣
⁣
Work management tool that helps you organize and plan workflows, tasks and deadlines. It can be hard to stay afloat if you’re working from home. Asana makes it easy to assign + check off tasks & set due dates.⁣
⁣
✴︎ Toggl ✴︎⁣
⁣
Free time-tracking software. If you’re working from home, you may need to record your hours and track how long you’ve been working. ⁣
⁣

*cue fleetwood mac* YOU CAN GO YOUR OWN WAAAAAY (go your own way)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I used to believe that in order to be successful or run my own business, I needed to do the exact same strategies that other people have done before me and follow their path to greatness. And that if I didn't do every single step of the process that worked for them, I would be destined for failure.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m choosing to rewrite that rule because I GET to choose what my business does and how I get to the end goal.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I may not go in the same fashion or at the same speed as someone else, but I'm gonna get there MY WAY. Eventually. Whether it be fast, slow or somewhere in between. But it's going to be on my terms, in a way that feels authentic to who I am. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thanks to my lovely friend @ashtonlongsmith for encouraging us all to rewrite our self-imposed “rules” about business & challenge the expected. #RuleChangersRise

Simple ways to surprise and delight your clients ✨⁣⁣
⁣⁣
𝟭. 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗴𝗶𝗳𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗿 𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗱-𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀!⁣⁣
I like to use @greetabl or @shopboxfox to send unique gifts that I believe my clients would love. My favorites are himalayan bath salt, champagne gummy bears & soy candles. Oh, and something small for my client, too 🤣⁣⁣
⁣⁣
𝟮. 𝗚𝗼 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗽𝗲.⁣⁣
Giving feels good and I am constantly throwing in extra services for my clients. Beyond design, I like to help out with copyediting, compressing images, curating stock photos... you get the idea! 💁‍♀️⁣
⁣
𝟯. 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘂𝗻𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀.⁣⁣
Nothing says you care more than when you can show a personal touch. Take for instance my custom 404 Page Not Found button for @desiree_kaye. She LOVES @champagnepapi, so I changed the button text to say "Hold on, we're going home." It's the little things, right? 🌙⁣⁣
⁣⁣
𝟰. 𝗘𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗻𝗼 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝘀𝗸𝗲𝗱.⁣⁣
My superstar coach @thesocialbungalow did this one just yesterday when she offered to extend my group program's Voxer support because she knew how much we needed it. If that ain't love, I don't know what is. 😍⁣⁣
⁣⁣
𝟱. 𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗻𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸.⁣⁣
There might come a time when the baby bird needs to fly away from the nest. When you've given everything you can offer, that's when you connect them with another trusted service provider. 🙌⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Surprising and delighting your clients means giving from the heart, not because you want a video testimonial or future referral, but because you truly and genuinely want to help.⁣⁣
