Please don’t talk to me Even though we’re not physically talking sometimes, constant conversing can be exhausting! Especially if you’re more introverted, like me. (Shay) Shane could talk all day, everyday and his social battery never dies. (I’m kinda jealous lol) Do you consider yourself more introverted or extroverted?

This new year, there’s a fire under my belt to absolutely crush it this year. I always love reflecting on where you started the year, compared to where you are finishing it, and wow 2020 was my year of milestones so far! Although I am feeling motivated right now, motivation for me is far from linear so I’m going to share some tricks on how I stay motivated throughout my days! 1. Write a to-do list EVERYDAY and number it in order of importance. ... 2. Make sure to take a lunch break and frequent short breaks throughout the day. Our breaks usually consist of snacking, watching Schitt’s Creek or walking Duke. 3. Switch tasks if you’re having a mind-block or are stuck in a creative rut. 4. Set business hours and STICK TO THEM. (Struggled here at first but we’re starting to get the hang of it) 5. Work in a space with no distractions, for me that’s my office. Shane likes working downstairs with the tv on and that’s fine by me but I just can’t do that! 6. Set SMART goals for yourself/business and for your clients each month. Rather than focusing on motivating myself all year long, I like to take it day-by-day. This prevents me from getting overwhelmed and makes me feel accomplished every day. How do you stay motivated?

We laughed way too hard at some of these. Personal favourite has to be #28 though.

This year, we decided it was really important to be super present for the holidays and stay off social media. It felt amazing to do so and just allow ourselves to spend several days in our Pjs, watching movies and spending time with family. I (Shayla) find it really tough to just let myself relax because I always feel like I could be doing 10000 things and that I should be productive all the time, which is so unrealistic. (Please tell me someone relates to this ) Christmas ...2020 taught me to sit with the awkward unproductive feelings and allow myself to feel that I deserve to relax. In 2021 we’re making it a personal goal to take several days off at the end of each month to do the things we love and just friggin relax. Here are some things we like to remind ourselves of: You deserve time off and time to do things you love Your client’s pages are not going to collapse if you take a couple days off Working 24/7 will only lead to burnout Taking time off doesn’t mean you don’t care about your business

Ain’t that the truth...
