If You’re Overwhelmed by Too Many Responsibilities Here’s How to Get Your Time Back
You’re juggling countless roles and responsibilities between business and motherhood– I get it.
Recently, one of my clients found herself stressed with trying to manage her practice, see patients, handle administrative tasks, and prepare for a major upcoming life change..
We’ve all been here, and started to think if we keep pushing through, we will find balance if we just work harder or rearrange our days a bit more… and months later we are in the same place
Unfortunately, when you’re constantly running on empty, making small tweaks or squeezing in more tasks won’t create the breathing room you need.
The mental exhaustion builds up, leading to burnout, mistakes, or even resentment. Plus, without significant changes, you’re not setting yourself up to handle any new challenges life throws your way.
Instead, consider a different approach.
Think about restructuring your schedule more drastically, like moving patients to create larger gaps, working half days, or delegating non-critical tasks.
Small, deliberate adjustments can make a significant impact. Start by focusing on just this week:
Where can you create space? What can you let go of or pass on to others? Addressing these issues week-by-week allows you to find sustainable solutions and keep refining how you are spending your time.
This shifts your approach from reactive to proactive and helps you manage responsibilities in a way that feels more aligned with your capacity.
It gives you the chance to make conscious choices about your workload, helping you avoid burnout and keep your energy for what matters most—both in your professional and personal life.
Don't wait for things to become unmanageable. Start making small, intentional changes today and create the space you need to thrive, even with a busy schedule ahead.
