5 THINGS TO TAKE ACTION ON RIGHT NOW

It’s been a crazy week, with lots of things happening around COVID-19, so it’s time to check in and see how you’re going.

If you’re not sure what to do next, here are five things to consider taking action on right now.

1. PLANNING FOR THE WHAT IF’S.

Plan for a shutdown. Plan for working from home. Plan for the kids being off school. It’s really important not to panic, but to plan. Take a little bit of time, with your partner, family or alone and sit down and think about what you need to do next.

2. CHECKING IN.

Check in on friends and family. There’s probably lots of people who are confused about what to do. There’s so much information out there, so check in with your people. That includes elderly neighbours.

3. MAKING A PROJECT LIST.

If you’re going to have a couple of weeks at home, think about the projects you want to work on. Make sure your time is productive. Is there something you need to work on around the home? Is there something you need to work on for yourself? Write a list of the projects you want to complete so you know exactly what to work on over the next couple of weeks.

4. STICKING TO YOUR DAILY RITUALS.

Think about your daily rituals. If you’re going to be working from home, or if your whole routine is a bit out of whack, it’s really important to stick with some great rituals over the next few weeks.

5. REDUCING THE NOISE.

My final tip for now is to check where you get your news from. There’s so much information and noise out there. Consider a couple of news sources only and ones that offer perspective.

Let me make this final offer to you. If you’re not sure what to do next for your business, and you’re feeling overwhelmed, contact me and we’ll set up a time to chat. It’s such uncharted territory, and it’s really important that you have a sounding board.

Take care and stay well.
