As an entrepreneur, it’s easy to get caught up in the busyness of the day. Reviewing my schedule, I see that I have coaching sessions, opportunity presentations, phone conferences, team calls and more. How will I be able to spend quality time with my family? Well, I realize that it starts with me getting creative, scheduling the time and making a commitment to keep my family a priority!
Here are 3 quick quality-time ideas I came Up with:
1. Family Staycation! Get your family excited days before about great food, games, movies and family fun. Place the food menu for that day on the fridge and an agenda of fun activities that will be happening. On the day of your staycation, everyone turns their cell phones off and places them in a basket for safe keeping. Let the fun begin!
2. Family Road Trip! If you have an event or out of town meeting you have to attend, consider making it a family trip. Look up fun activities and places you could visit and create your activity calendar. If you’re a single parent, you might want to take a mom’s helper along to watch the kids while you’re doing business. Now this won’t always fit into your schedule, but there will probably be times that it will. Switch it up and take just your spouse for a Romantic get-a-way!
3. Schedule Special Dates! Whether it’s your son, daughter, spouse or other family member, schedule a special date just with them to let them know how much they are valued. Whether it’s a movie, concert, dinner, weekend get-a-way or time just talking and sharing; giving attention to those you love makes them feel on top of the world!
