Planning for the Unplanned
Life as a mompreneur or dadpreneur is all about expecting the unexpected, whether it’s last-minute changes in a client project or family surprises. One key strategy I’ve adopted is incorporating buffer time into my schedule. This isn't just empty space—it's a crucial part of how I manage my day, allowing me to absorb disruptions without letting them derail my entire agenda. When working with clients, I like to plan for a longer timeframe. This gives me the flexibility to handle unexpected demands or issues without compromising on quality or deadlines. It’s about under-promising and over-delivering, ensuring I can exceed expectations or adjust as needed without stress. 🗣️ How about you? Do you set aside buffer time in your busy schedule?
