For the first few years of running my business I felt like a headless chicken!
My little idea to start a business turned into an overwhelming nightmare! I realised that there were a million and one things I needed to do – most of which I didn’t even know how to do!
As I’m perhaps one of the most unorganised people I know, trying to master the art of juggling everything I needed to do effectively, left me feeling totally frazzled and out of control.
My problem was that I had no systems or processes in place for being able to manage myself and my tasks properly and so I rarely felt in control. It was exhausting.
It took me more time than I’d have liked to discover that there were ridiculously simple things I could have been doing that would have helped me with all of this!
So if you ever feel frazzled, overwhelmed or out of control then this video is for you. I wish I discovered this information sooner!!
Shelly Waldman, founder of BusinessJuice.co shares 4 simple things you can do that will help you to feel less frazzled and more in control…

WRITE STUFF DOWN & ORGANISE SIMILAR TASKS TOGETHER
Get everything out of your head and onto paper and then categorise your tasks. This in itself will help you feel instantly more in control. When everything is stored in your head, thing become very hazy. Once you’ve written it all down you can start to schedule.

When you have your day and week planned out, you know what you need to execute- you’re not in panic mode, so you can actually accomplish things and then take a break. Shelly shares a brilliant story about this and we also talk about creating mini-days.
