When I first saw the quote years ago, “you have the same amount of hours in a day as Beyonce” I laughed partially because I’m not Beyonce, and the quote spoke the truth. I said to myself… if Beyonce has 24 hours in a day and she is the world’s best entertainer, a mother, a wife, and the ultimate queen of slaying its time for me to #BOSSUP. So slowly but surely I started maximizing every moment of my time. I maximized my time to the point where now I am literally running out of time.
This is what a typical day is like for me…

Just looking at my schedule makes me wonder how I get everything done on my to-do list. My weekly schedule is always busy. I am for sure a weekend warrior! 2016 is the year where I am committed to finding a work/life balance (speaking it into existence).
If you have busy/hectic days and have any work/life balance tips be sure to share them below.
Until next time…
