The Antidote to Overwhelm and Overwork When You Work With Clients

Staying Solo

Have you ever started your Monday morning with a strong sense of existential dread and wondered how you could get all of your client work done… let alone any work ON your business? Next thing you know, the week has flown by, and it feels like the to-do list is just as long—if not even longer—than when you started.

The overwhelm is real and it’s time for something to change, starting with getting a handle on what you can actually do in a week.

In this episode, we’re talking about managing your capacity in a realistic way that doesn’t mean firing all your clients or starting an entirely new business. (And yes, I know that bookstore/coffee shop idea is appealing!)

Topics discussed in this episode include:

• Why working with clients can be so challenging.

• What is capacity planning why you need to stop ignoring it, even if it feels tricky to manage.

• An easy, no BS way to figure out your capacity.

• Why you should track your time even if you don’t want to and hate doing it.

• Questions for every service business owner to answer about their capacity.
