As Entrepreneurs we're always so occupied with a task, project or an idea. We rarely have time to focus on the important things in life such as ourselves or others, and when this happens those things usually get worse. I'm guilty as anyone at doing these things, no matter how unintentional it just happens. However you have to get control over these things or they will catch up with you to say the least.
I admit, this past year was nuts. If I haven't been on a computer I've been in a post office or I was starting new Business ventures. This was hectic, and I found myself aggravated constantly without ever having time to breathe. So I sat down recently and put some thought to my life instead of just Business for a few days. I realized how unorganized I was and a few other things that needed change.
I have realized during this time what makes an entrepreneur's life easier. Even if you have a profitable business you need it to move efficiently. Feeling like you have to walk through mud everyday to make a buck would make anyone feel like shit so to avoid this you set up the right system for whatever it is you do. You also schedule your time so you're not constantly rushing against the clock. I also suggest healthy hobbies that keep you disciplined in some way. I like to do the gym and MMA Training. When I say healthy hobbies I usually mean active ones. Most Business people are inside for too long during the day this makes us lazy, out of shape and sometimes can leave us lacking discipline if things get too cozy. It's good to give yourself a kick in the ass every now and then to keep the engine running.
One last thing, take it easy. If you're one of those people that rush out of bed every morning slow down. Enjoy your day and see your time as quality, not quantity. Getting things in order is how you keep things under control.
