Creating and maintaining a plan, without doubt, is the best way you can ensure your success. Without a schedule, you will inevitably lack focus and every task will take much longer to complete. Planning is an essential part of managing a successful business and I hope these tips will help you create an organised, structured routine.

Your Goals Everyone is working towards achieving an overall objective and, in doing so, you usually have to complete a number of smaller goals. Decide what you need to achieve each week and write down the tasks that will help you realise each goal. Breaking down your goal into manageable steps will help you move closer to succeeding without feeling overwhelmed by the task in hand.

Complete The Task With so many tasks on the go at any given time, it is easy to forget something or leave a task unfinished. Create a worksheet that tracks all your goals and tasks so you can tick off each one as you complete it thoroughly.

Avoid Overload Tasks build up quickly and before long you can feel overwhelmed by everything you have to do. Be realistic about what you can achieve and prioritise your goals. This approach will reduce your anxiety levels and help you focus on what needs to be done. Prioritising your tasks will help you feel more organised and in control.

Be Flexible If you work with a rigid schedule, you will end up feeling stressed and frazzled! The summer holidays threaten even the most water-tight routine so you must therefore create your routine with a degree of flexibility. Allow yourself time to move tasks around should the unexpected happen.

Have Fun Try not to let work consume your every waking moment, especially when you can be spending quality time with your children. When you’re taking a break or having a day off, do something nice with your kids that you’ll all enjoy, such as a picnic or day trip out.
