Lil Red: A Creature Of Habit

Lil Red: A Creature Of Habit

Hello!! At the moment, I have three jobs and my life has been very busy. I work as a provider for people with special needs, create daily content for lifewithlilred and complete online work, and I just began a new marketing gig in January. At some point this year, I will cut back on my work in the field and give myself more time to not only work from home, but relax with a less demanding schedule. For now, however, I am enjoying the ride and I love seeing all of the hard work I put into lifewithlilred come into fruition in my new job.

With three jobs under my belt as well as being a very active bunny mom, I have been asked a lot since the beginning of the year how I have been managing. I am no stranger to working several jobs at once so this isn’t a brand new situation for me, but it does help a lot that Lil Red is, first and foremost, A Creature Of Habit. Because of this, my days run like a fine tuned machine and all of the following components help me to achieve this:

Sticking To A Schedule:

My schedule is the most important thing to achieve optimum success during the work week. Without it, I wouldn’t have the time to care for the bunnies in the morning, create content, and work from home before going to a client’s home. This morning routine came into place this past November when Johnny and I brought Mel and Penelope home, but it became an absolute necessity when I started my new job at the beginning of the year. Of course, waking up at five AM is not my idea of a good time in the slightest. However, if I don’t, my work day wouldn’t end until six or so in the evening and that sounds like less of a good time to me. Sticking to this schedule has lots of obvious benefits and my weekend days feel very off when I don’t have to follow through with it!

Forming Good Habits:

Prior to bringing the bunnies home, I was able to sleep in a bit later and was never too pressed if I had to hit the snooze button once, twice, or several times! As wonderful as it was to get the extra Zs, this was a habit that I needed to break for my day to run smoothly. Believe you me, I would LOVE to hit the snooze every morning and if I am extra tired, I will every now and then. But, I like being able to relax when I get home from work rather than work more. Fighting the urge to hit the snooze is definitely a habit that I am glad to have made.

Another good habit that I have formed fairly recently is establishing a meal schedule. Since my days shifted to a much earlier time and I have a lot to do, I go from hungry to hangry really quickly and that is not okay. During my mornings at home, I have penciled in time to have an actual breakfast, pack a snack or lunch for later in the day, and not be completely ravenous by dinnertime. I have come to realize how important it is to fuel my body for long work days and it has helped so much in reducing how rundown I have been feeling.

Take A Break:

Going nonstop is my forte, but it’s not a good thing to be gifted in lol. If I have the time after online work in the morning, I have given myself permission to take a break. Usually I will give my brain some breathing room by watching one episode of Assassination Classroom on Crunchyroll or reading a chapter or two in whatever book I’m working on. Because I work for myself, no one but me tells me when it’s time to rest for a bit. If I had an employee, I would most certainly allow for breaks for them, so why not me too? Even little breaks throughout the day to stretch and hydrate are helpful and it keeps me from completely crashing later. Total win/win!

Creating a schedule and habits that work for me took a decent amount of trial and error, but I am fully satisfied with the end result. I am proud of the work that I accomplish and, honestly, look forward to getting up every morning to see where the day takes me!

How important is a schedule to you? What do you like to do during break time? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Pursue Your Dream Career With These Tips

Pursuing your goals to land your dream job takes dedication and hard work. There is so much that goes into following your dreams, but don’t let that stop you from making them into reality. Giving up a career to pursue something you really want should not be taken lightly, but it can be done if you have the passion and dedication for it. Here are four tips to help get you started on your journey toward a dream career:

Know Yourself & Your Goals:

Before you even begin the process of pursuing your dream job, it is important that you take some time for self-reflection. Consider what your goals are, what kind of lifestyle you want, and how this job fits into those goals. Knowing yourself and understanding your goals will help guide the decisions you make about what kind of job you want to pursue. Write down your goals and create a plan of action to achieve them; this way, you can stay motivated and focused on the path toward your dream job.

Research Companies & Industries:

Once you have a clear understanding of who you are and what your goals are, it is time to research companies and industries that align with those goals. Take some time to explore different industries and pick out specific companies that interest you. Doing this research will help give you an idea of what types of jobs these companies offer and any potential opportunities that could arise in the future. In addition, researching and familiarizing yourself with a company before applying can give you an edge over other applicants.

Build Your Network:

Networking is key when it comes to finding your dream job! Building relationships with people in the industry who may have access to job opportunities or insight into hiring processes is important. Joining professional organizations or attending networking events such as conferences or seminars is a great way to meet new people who may be able to help further your career path. In addition, utilizing social media platforms like LinkedIn can also be an effective way of connecting with potential employers or recruiters who may know about jobs that aren’t posted publicly yet.

You should remember that building a network doesn’t just pertain to the industry or even the workplace you’ve been looking to apply to. You need to have a good support network, especially if you have a family. Using the Care.com reviews to determine the right childcare and support help for your family is going to open that door to the career you’ve always wanted. You need to have a village around you to remember that you are a whole person and if you have dreams, you should pursue them. You just need the right support to do it.

Stay Up To Date On Trends & Industry News:

In today’s ever-evolving job market, staying up to date on industry trends and news is important to stay ahead of the competition. Subscribing to relevant publications, blogs, or newsletters can help you gain valuable insight into what’s happening in the industry. For example, if you’re interested in pursuing a career in the medical industry, you can learn a lot from Hanid Audish DO. Industry experts like this can give you a valuable look into the job market and what positions are in demand.

Pursuing your dream job can be a long process, but it is possible. By following these steps, you will be setting yourself up for success. Good luck!

What To Do If Your Career Seems To Be Stalling

What To Do If Your Career Seems To Be Stalling

Do you feel as though your professional life is in a rut? Are you having trouble deciding what to do next or do you not see any opportunities for advancement? If so, you are not alone. This feeling is one that many people have at least once in their careers. Getting your career back on a more positive track doesn’t have to be difficult, and you shouldn’t put it off if a change is needed. Here are some steps to take if your career seems to be stalling:

Reassess your goals:

Reevaluating your career goals requires taking a step back. Are they still the same as when you first started working? Do you still need to reevaluate your goals or have you already achieved everything you set out to do? Think things through, consider your current goals, and decide whether they align with where you want to go.

Talk to your supervisor:

It’s crucial to speak with your supervisor if you feel trapped in your current position. Express your worries and seek suggestions on how you can do better. Your boss might be able to offer you new opportunities or make suggestions for how to advance within the organization. Your manager might be able to advise you on what to do next if there are no growth opportunities at your company.

Take on new responsibilities:

If your current position doesn’t offer you any chances to advance, you might want to think about accepting more responsibility. This can demonstrate to your employer that you’re dedicated to your work and ready to take on new challenges. Seek out opportunities to volunteer for or accept more duties that will allow you to gain new skills.

Seek out training and development opportunities:

Finding training and development opportunities is another way to launch your career. This can entail going to workshops, enrolling in online classes, or earning certifications. You can take on new challenges and prove your value to your employer by learning new skills.

Build up your personal brand:

You will be in a competitive job market, so you must stand out. Take time out to build your personal brand. Share industry insights wherever possible and update your LinkedIn profile. You could even start a blog about your experience and expertise. With a strong online presence, you can open up lots of different doors and attract new opportunities. There are all kinds of resources online, such as a PHP Agency review, that can provide insight into how individuals market themselves in their careers. If you can position yourself as a knowledgeable professional with a proactive attitude, you will increase your chances of being noticed. Potential employers and clients will be impressed by what they see.

Network:

Developing your network is essential for career advancement. Establish relationships with individuals in your industry by going to networking events. This can assist you in discovering new employment possibilities and connecting with individuals who might be able to aid you in advancing your career. You can also look to successful people who have already reached the goals you want to achieve. If you work in sales and want to improve, look at the strategies and success of someone like Hussain al Nowais.

Consider a career change:

It might be time to think about a career change if you’ve tried everything listed above and are still not seeing any opportunities for growth within your current job. Look for employment opportunities that fit your interests and skill set. To learn about new opportunities, get in touch with recruiters and go to job fairs.

It’s important to feel rewarded and fulfilled in your career, and the tips above will help you take your skills to the next level!

Work/Life Balance

Posted on by

Work/Life Balance

Hello!! I don’t know about all of you, but I have been feeling So. Freaking. Exhausted. At the beginning of the new year, I formed a partnership with a local tech entrepreneur and have been putting in work. So much so, that I have been clocking in close to fifty hours every week between my jobs for the past month and change. It is tiring but the opportunities that have opened up for me are very exciting!

The work/life balance is something that everyone talks about. However, is it something that they are actively trying to pursue or does it just sound good? Lol, I definitely fall under the “think about it, but don’t do it” category and I know that this is something I need to change to avoid burnout. If you, too, struggle with making time for you amidst a busy schedule, you are not alone! In fact, you are in great company because I’m right there with you! Let’s explore some ideas we can all work on to achieve a better work/life balance:

Take Breaks:

During the work day, I try to allow myself a few five minute breaks throughout to get up, stretch, and hydrate. You can do whatever you see fit, though, to relax for a spell. Watch a funny YouTube video, read a few comic strips, grab a snack – whatever is clever. It is so easy to just keep on working even when our brain is literally telling us to take a pause for a couple of minutes. Remember, that the work you are completing when your mind is feeling mushy probably isn’t going to be something that you are fully satisfied with.

Make Meals:

I, personally, notice that I am not getting a proper work/life balance when I am not cooking meals for dinner. This was actually the first key indicator that I needed to slow down a bit when I saw that my fresh groceries were going to waste. Of course, no one is saying to cook a five star meal every night but I always feel better when I have something homemade for dinner. My goal is to at least make a few simple meals per week because I enjoy cooking as much as I do eating!

Make Plans (And Stick With Them!):

I’m going to be honest with all of you, the past several weeks of this workathon, I have had so many plans and I pretty much bailed on every single one. I was just too wiped out and canceling made me feel worse. This taught me that, for the time being, I need to make plans that I know I can stick with because anything more would be stretching myself too thin. However, we all need to give ourselves permission to have fun so don’t cut all evening activities out and fill your schedule with things you enjoy when you are able.

It’s Okay To Say No:

Always remember that it is okay to say no when you are feeling especially overrun. Knowing your limitations of what can and can’t be achieved in a certain time period will go a long way and can stop burnout in its tracks. I am such a people pleaser that I rarely say no to anything work related and I know that this is something that I really should improve on.

When a work/life balance seems impossible, carve out small periods for you throughout the day until you get back on track with a normal schedule. You will thank yourself during your next mini break!

What stresses you out about work? Do you achieve a good work/life balance? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Grow Your Business With These Strategies

Grow Your Business With These Strategies

One of the most important things for your business is to plan ahead. Planning for tomorrow, a month, or a year from now is one of the best ways to help your business grow and you will be prepared for any curveballs along the way. Keep moving things forward for your business with the tips below:

Get The Help You Need:

First, you need to make sure you have the right kind of help. This could mean from the people you’ve hired to work for you or from the services you’ve hired for each part of your business. Keep up to date with all of the departments like customer service, maintenance, accounting, etc. You also want to make sure that your IT is effective in every way, such as by using Medifit for your practice services. Once you have a better idea of how each department is functioning, you will be able to make improvements for a better customer experience. A well-rounded understanding of IT infrastructure plays a key role in ensuring that all systems operate smoothly and efficiently. For example, understanding key IT concepts like what is ASN (Autonomous System Numbers) and how it can help you optimize your network operations, especially for businesses relying on internet routing and connectivity, can provide valuable insights into improving performance and ensuring reliable communication between systems.

Try Something New:

You can’t keep doing the same things you were doing before if you want to move forward, can you? You have to make some changes and try new things, even if it’s not easy. This means that you should offer something new, like a product or service. The idea is that you want people to notice you in a good way, not just as a business lurking in the background. You will get the attention you need if you are bold, brave, and stand out from the crowd. If you can keep a positive attitude, this should give you something the others don’t have and help your business grow.

You can also experience more positive growth through maintaining good relationships with your referral and affiliate partners. Tools like Partner Relationship Management Software can help with onboarding, tracking and attribution, and payouts. This will maximize effective communication and viable business leads.

Marketing Is Key:

Marketing is the key to the success of your business. If you don’t market your business, no one will know who you are or what you can do for them. They don’t know what makes you the best or how well you do what you do. It’s up to you to tell them, and marketing is there to help you do that. Make sure you’re using various methods of marketing across a wide variety of platforms so you can achieve a greater audience reach. There are marketing agencies all over the world that can assist with expanding your reach. However, if you would like to establish a partnership close to home, simply enter a search for “PPC Agency Newcastle” (or your local area) and you could find capable professionals in your own backyard.

Marketing can often be a matter of trial and error for your business. An ad that you really like might not reflect the opinions of your customers. Try out a variety of different techniques and keep detailed notes of what is working and what isn’t so you can create content that will be successful. It can be beneficial to work with a marketing and advertising company even for just a short while to help get new campaigns established. Getting help from true marketing professionals can result in more money for your business.

Secure Contracts With Suppliers:

Securing contract deals with suppliers plays a pivotal role in the growth and success of a business. By establishing reliable partnerships, businesses gain access to a consistent supply of goods and services, enabling them to meet customer demands efficiently. These contracts ensure a steady flow of high-quality products, fostering customer satisfaction and loyalty. For example, collaborating with trusted suppliers like Quilter Select, known for their exceptional quilting materials, can elevate a quilting business to new heights. Negotiating favorable terms, such as competitive pricing and timely deliveries, empowers businesses to plan and strategize effectively, expanding their market reach and solidifying their position in the industry. In essence, securing contract deals with suppliers forms a vital foundation for sustainable business growth.

Make this new year the best ever for your business with the simple strategies above!

5 Advantages Of Employee Uniforms

5 Advantages Of Employee Uniforms

Employee uniforms are sometimes looked at with disdain. People don’t like the thought of them as it reminds them of going to school. However, there are some genuine advantages of employee uniforms that you don’t see if everyone wears their own clothes to work. If you run a business and are interested in doing whatever you can to improve it, perhaps you should consider investing in uniforms. If you do, you might see the following benefits:

Maintain a strong brand image:

It is much easier to maintain a solid brand image when your employees are in uniform. Everyone’s wearing the same clothes and they look professional. When everyone comes to work in plain clothes, it’s harder to maintain your image since we’re all individuals with our own sense of style. Even if you set a dress code, people can turn up in different outfits to reflect their unique fashion choices. It can create a workplace that looks a bit jumbled and doesn’t produce a consistent image. Work uniforms prevent this by making everyone wear something that accurately puts across the brand image you wish to showcase.

Advertise your company for free:

Employees can choose to get changed at work – or, they can wear their uniform on the commute. It’s a really clever idea to get things like hoodies or jackets for them to wear when it’s cold or wet. The benefit of this is that they broadcast your brand to everyone for free. Effectively, they’re walking advertisements for your business. Places like Mato & Hash let you create customized T-shirts and clothing that can be emblazoned with your brand logo. You could even print things on the back, such as contact details or your website. As you and your employees go on lunch breaks or commute to/from work, people will see your logo and contact details, and you just might gain some new leads.

Create a better workplace culture:

Uniforms make people feel like they’re part of a team. As a result, you can foster a better workplace culture where everyone feels a sense of togetherness. Think about it, where else will you see uniforms outside of the workplace? Primarily, it will be sports teams that wear them. So, if your employees are all wearing the same things, they genuinely feel like more of a unit. It’s a psychological thing; everyone feels part of a pack. It can also help people stay more connected to your company and buy into the company culture. When everyone turns up in their own clothes, there’s definitely more of a disassociation from the company and its culture.

Avoid confusion:

In certain workplace settings, you’ll encounter customers every day. They can walk through a store or come to your office for a meeting. Either way, employee uniforms help to avoid any confusion as to who works at your company. Customers and potential customers can quickly identify who your workers are. Consequently, it’s easier for someone to ask for help or identify where they need to go. Even in an office setting, seeing a room full of people in the same branded uniform removes any confusion from someone’s mind. They won’t have to awkwardly check that they’re in the right place; it’s clear that they are as they see your brand on everyone’s tops!

Prevent social anxiety:

This seems like a strange point, but there’s a lot of social anxiety surrounding what to wear to work. Employees can spend ages every morning figuring out what to wear. Do they wear the same thing twice and risk someone noticing and saying something? What if people make fun of their clothes? It sounds unlikely, but this can happen. Even if nobody actually says anything about someone’s attire, there’s always the element of anxiety in figuring out what to wear. By giving your employees uniforms, you make them all equals. They won’t have this sense of worry every morning as they know they can wear what everyone else is wearing.

Overall, you can see how employee uniforms are beneficial for businesses. As a bonus, you could save money for your workers too. Instead of spending cash on work clothes, they get uniforms for free. If people enjoy wearing the uniforms, you will see all of the benefits and no drawbacks.

Change Your Career Smoothly With These Steps

If you want to change careers, you need to invest time and money in yourself. Before you make a decision about an investment, you should learn as much as you can about it. Let’s look at some things you need to think about before making a career change:

Have A Look At Yourself Closely:

If you’ve decided to change careers, you should first take an honest look at yourself. Think about your skills, values, personality, and what you like to do. It’s smart to check out some online tools, like a career test. These will help you look at a list of jobs that you might be good at based on your answers. You could also talk to a career counselor or someone who works on personal development.

Create A List Of Potential Jobs And Research:

Now is the time to look over the list of jobs that have been created. The list may be long, so try to cut it down as much as you can. Make a list of jobs you’d like to learn more about. If you like what you see you can take the next steps like learning how to become a life insurance agent.

Explore Your Options:

For each job on your list, you should look at the job description, required education, career outlook, the chances of getting promoted, and the pay. Most of that information can be found online on sites like Indeed.

Set Goals:

You should already know what you want to do for a living. Before you take steps to find a job in the field you’ve chosen, you should think about what you want to achieve. There should be both short-term and long-term goals. If training is going to take you two years, you need to give yourself that much time to reach your goals. After doing this, you can put finding a job the field you want at the top of your list.

Training:

Most of the time, you need the training to change careers. You may have some skills that can be used in different situations, but if you want to work in a specialized and competitive field, it’s a good idea to look into courses that will help you reach your goals.

These steps should make it easier and smoother to start a new job. Make achievable goals and work hard to achieve them for your dream job!

How To Recover Stress-Free After A Work Injury

How To Recover Stress-Free After A Work Injury

Injuries can happen at any workplace, no matter how safe the environment is. If you find yourself injured while on the job, it can be a scary and overwhelming experience. However, there are steps that you can take so that your recovery is as stress-free as possible. Let’s get started:

Stay Calm:

The first step in recovering from a work injury is staying calm. It may be hard to do this in the heat of the moment, but remaining calm helps you think more clearly and make better decisions about your next steps. Take deep breaths and focus on staying present until help arrives to make an informed decision about what comes next. Being knowledgeable about workplace injuries can also help maintain your sense of calm as well as assist in making an informed decision after the fact. Take the time to learn the policies at your place of employment and find out how does workers comp work there. Every job site is different so this will be valuable information to have.

Document Everything:

Any professional at a personal injury law firm will recommend that after an injury occurs, document every detail, including when and where it happened, what caused it, who was involved, and any other information that might be important. This documentation should be completed while everything is fresh in your mind so that you have accurate answers if any questions arise later. In addition, be sure to document all conversations with supervisors or other personnel related to the injury incident. This is going to be most important, especially if you choose to work with a personal injury lawyer like https://www.warfortol.com/ or one in your local area.

Seek Medical Attention:

When an injury happens at work, seek medical attention immediately if necessary. Even if you don’t feel like anything serious has occurred, it’s essential to follow up with a doctor for further evaluation and treatment if recommended by a health professional. From there, your doctor might suggest a visit to a specialist or put in an order for X-rays. If the latter is the case, you may need to head to a practice that offers X-Rays in Lake Hopatcong, NJ (or your local area) for the procedure to be carried out.

Make sure that any medical visits related to the injury are documented for further review by employers or insurance companies if needed.

Understand Your Rights:

After being injured at work, you must understand your rights when going through workers’ compensation processes or filing a legal claim against your employer if necessary (depending on circumstances). Researching relevant laws and getting yourself an expert Personal Injury Attorney ahead of time will give you a good idea of what type of compensation is available so that you know what steps you need to take to receive them (if applicable).

Follow Up With Employer:

Once medical attention has been sought out and documented accordingly, follow up with your employer to check that all paperwork related to the injury is filled out correctly and filed within the required time frames (depending on state laws). This is also something that a personal injury lawyer like Stewart Bell (or a similar practice in your local area) can assist with. It can be most helpful to have someone in your corner, especially if you are feeling anxious about the situation. Keep copies of all documents related to the injury for future reference and check back with your employer periodically for updates or changes regarding the incident that may have occurred since its initial reporting date.

Take the time to research the protocol for your employer about work related injuries so you will know exactly what to do if getting hurt on the job ever happens to you or a coworker!

How To Make Your Business More Eco-Friendly

How To Make Your Business More Eco-Friendly

Going green is not only good for the environment, but it can also be good for your business. There are many ways that you can make your business more eco-friendly and this post will discuss some of the best ways to do so. In addition, you can reduce your environmental impact and improve your bottom line by making a few simple changes. Read on to learn more:

Reduce energy consumption:

One of the best ways to make your business more eco-friendly is to reduce energy consumption. This can be done in a number of ways, such as installing energy-efficient lighting and appliances, using motion sensors for lights, unplugging idle equipment and computers, aiming for 100% renewable electricity or carbon offsets, or investing in green energy sources such as solar power and wind turbines. You can also turn down thermostats during the cooler months and take advantage of natural light whenever possible. Then, you can enlist the help of sustainable branding strategy experts to better showcase your company’s eco-friendly efforts to the masses. By doing these simple things, you can significantly reduce your business’s energy consumption while also cutting costs and reducing your overall environmental impact.

Another good way to reduce energy consumption is by using solar panels with battery storage. You’ll be able to use energy generated by the sun, which is free of course, and that will help reduce your monthly expenditures on utilities. It also ensures you’re reducing your carbon footprint too.

Recycle:

Recycling is an important part of making a business more eco-friendly. Not only does it help to reduce the waste created by the business, but it can also save money on materials and resources. Recycling can be done in many ways, such as separating recyclable materials from non-recyclables, donating or selling used items, investing in reusable packaging and containers, or taking advantage of digital documents instead of printing. Businesses can also look into composting food waste to make use of the nutrient-rich soil produced by composting. Recycling is an easy and effective way to reduce waste while helping to protect the environment.

Purchase green products:

When shopping for items, look for ones with labels such as “Energy Star” or “Eco-Friendly” that indicate they are energy efficient and made with renewable resources. You can also look for items made with recycled materials, certified organic ingredients, and sustainably sourced materials. By doing so, you will be supporting businesses and manufacturers that have taken the extra steps to reduce their impact on the environment. For instance, if you are renovating your offices and want to know how to renew your walls look no further than https://www.stikwood.com/blog/how-to-install-wood-planks-on-your-wall.

Another way to make your business more eco-friendly is to switch to green cleaning products. Many traditional cleaning products contain harmful chemicals that can have a negative impact on the environment and human health. By switching to green options, you can reduce your business’s environmental footprint while still keeping surfaces clean and germ-free. Look for items such as plant-based solvents, biodegradable detergents, natural enzymes, recycled paper towels, and washable wipes instead of disposable ones. You can also try using vinegar or baking soda instead of harsh chemicals for everyday tasks.

Encourage sustainability:

Once employees are educated on sustainable practices, businesses can encourage them to take part in eco-friendly initiatives and helping towards causes such as the business’ PEF (Product Environmental Footprint). Companies should offer incentives and rewards for those who make an effort towards becoming more environmentally conscious in their workplace. This could include a reduced work week or flexible hours, monetary bonuses, or rewards such as tickets to a local art event or free coffee vouchers. Finally, companies can organize group activities that focus on environmental sustainability like tree planting events, beach cleanups, or waste audits that will further increase awareness and participation in eco-friendly initiatives.

Start implementing these tips today and watch as your business becomes more environmentally conscious!
