Worried about leaving work behind when you need to?
Have you felt that slight nervousness or dread in the lead up to a holiday, some time off or other big personal event, that you can’t quite put your finger on? It could be conveyancers’ guilt – the worry associated with stepping back from your workload for a period of time.
This feeling likely comes from a lack of trust in your existing process & procedure. By increasing the trust and sense of security in your business operations, you can focus your mind on the places it needs to be, back in the present. But how do you go about this?
Invest in trusted solutions
If you don’t feel like you can trust the processes & systems that you have in place, this could be a sign that your current systems aren’t working for you! This could be the time to take a practice audit and consider alternative solutions for technology and process for the future.
Ensure staff are adequately trained & supported
Touch base with your staff and make sure that all their needs are being met, they will appreciate the support and opportunity to be heard! Their confidence can be your reassurance. If you still aren’t feeling confident after speaking to your team, look for alternatives to help manage the workload. Can a staff member in a different role pick up extra responsibilities? Is there a way to streamline or automate processes to make them less involved for staff members? You’d be surprised how many solutions might be out there that you haven’t considered!
If you really can’t switch off, find a way to check in from afar!
Some of us are just the type to never switch off. If this is you, try and consider how you can check in without BEING checked in. Can you set up regular updates via text or email, so that you don’t have to be on your computer all day? Do you have a system that allows you to see status updates quickly, clearly and all at once? Consider how best you can check in if you really must!
It’s important to look after yourself for the sake of your business and your career. Whether that’s by spending time with loved ones over the Holiday period, taking some time to focus on your physical or mental health, or just spending time doing whatever you find fulfilling, it’s vital that you can trust the people around you to be able to give yourself that space!
