Your time is valuable, Sis ⏳

New Year's resolutions tend to start with a sizzle and then fizzle out by mid-February. Heck, you may have had the best intentions and never started, but we're here to remind you that YOU ARE A BOSS. Sis, do not let that sizzle fade. You chose these goals for a reason and most likely it was after some reflection of things you wish you did or had time for so stop putting off the things you want to accomplish and start making them happen.

This year, The Social Sis's goals are centered around time.

"Time is free, but it's priceless. You can't own it, but you can use it. You can't keep it, but you can spend it. Once you've lost it, you can never get it back."

I think it's safe to say that we all value our time. The more mature we get, the more we tend to get picky about how we're spending our time. At the end of the day, we want it to be meaningful. We want our time to be well spent, and we want to be in control of how we're spending our most valuable asset.

Let me ask you this - What do you value the most in your life?

Heading into the new year I read a lot of talk about values, and personally, this spoke to me. I had to ask myself, "How do I currently nurture my values?" When you talk about how invaluable time is and then you compare how you're spending your time on the things you value most, it gives you a new perspective. Are you spending time doing things that align with your values? If not, how can you start making decisions that better align with your values and the things in your life that bring you fulfillment?

I will be the first to say that I do not have it all figured out when it comes to maximizing my time in a way that nurtures my values, but I wish I did. A part of that is being more efficient, organized, and disciplined. It's easy to get sucked into the noise (or scrolling aimlessly). It's also easy to get sucked extending ourselves endlessly for others instead of focusing on our own needs. But it's a 2022 goal of mine to actively make decisions that better align with the things in my life that I value most or bring me fulfillment.

Running a small business takes A LOT of time. It's simply the way it is, especially in the beginning. Many of you are a one woman (or man) show wearing every hat needed to keep your business running from day to day. WE APPLAUD YOU 👏🏼👏🏼 We also want to help lighten your task load so you can get back to doing what it is you love so much that you decided to start a business surrounding it. Don't lose sight of your fulfillment doing busy work that someone else loves to do.
