To help you get a handle on your workload, we’ve put together a few ideas to make sure you keep on top of things and avoid stressing yourself out. 

Lists Are Your Friend 

It may seem cliché, but lists are an excellent starting point when it comes to being organised. 

  • Step 1 – the first step is to write a list, starting with noting down the most important tasks first. Only you can decide what’s most important, so make sure you think about your priorities and put them first. 
  • Step 2 – take the top 3 tasks and forget the rest for now. Concentrate on these 3, starting with number one. 
  • Step 3 – put time aside to work on the first task on your list. If it feels like too much, break it down even further and try and turn it into an even smaller list of tasks. This will stop you from feeling overwhelmed and provide you with a sense of accomplishment as you work through the smaller tasks. 

Put a Small Chunk of Time Aside

If you have a lot on your plate – which you most probably will do – set yourself a target to do just 10 minutes of a big task each day. Alternatively, work out a schedule that’s more specific to your routine – but try and stick to it! Once you get started, it is much easier to continue. 

Avoid multi-tasking – concentrate on one task and see it through, then move on to the next. This is particularly important when you choose to focus on one big task. Getting bogged down with other things can take your eye off the ball and cause you to get easily distracted. 

Reward Your Hard Work

It may seem trivial but rewarding yourself for completing tasks can act as a huge incentive. Having a reward in place can help you see the task as more appealing and stop you from putting it off. At the end of the day, your business is of the utmost importance. So, do what you can to ensure you stay on track and in control.

Testimonial: “JC was so low, suicidal at points. Sore, red, angry, his skin was awful, we had tried everything and doctors you name it. We reached out to Becky, who was wonderful. My son was quiet and withdrawn, lacked confidence and self esteem, and locked himself away from the world. Becky booked us in for a consultation to discuss different options of treatments and we decided the new hydro treatment would be the best option. We started the course and JC was nervous but Becky was great with him talking him through everything, step by step! As we went each time JC’s skin got better and better, but also the difference in him was huge, he was gaining confidence, shoulders back, head held high. We have watched his skin change from this red, aggressive, angry skin that was sore, acne was debilitating to him but now he is confident, holds his head up high and has even got his first job! We are so proud. When we met Becky I felt confident she would help us get his skin better and back on track but what has actually happened is skin looks amazing but to see our son gain confidence has been the biggest win! Teens often get pushed aside, put on string meds and told “it’s just your age” but this isn’t what they want to hear, but The SkinBase treatments Becky has done has changed his life! We cannot thank you enough Becky! JC is continuing with the treatments as it still gets the odd breakouts but the scarring is still improving week in week out. The hydro Facial is just amazing and we cannot recommend it enough and of course Becky and her passion for skin and helping people is wonderful!”
