Summer, summer, summertime! Summertime by Will Smith is one of my all time favorite songs!

Summer break is a great time for mompreneurs to work less and spend more quality time with their family. But it can also be a chaotic and overwhelming time because you can’t get a handle on your schedule.

And this summer is looking a lot different than usual for most of us and we’re staycationing. But that doesn’t mean we can’t take some time off to relax and have fun with the family.

More importantly you can have fun this summer and still be productive without any mom guilt!

Here are 5 hacks to help you make it happen!

1. Plan your week by time blocking your schedule but remember to keep it light and be flexible.
2. Give yourself some grace when things don’t go as planned. Stay focused on your priorities and celebrate your small wins. 
3. Complete routine tasks with your kids and delegate what you can to lighten your load
4. Set clear expectations by communicating your schedule with your family. Shorten your work week when you can and be intentional with your time.
5. Evaluate your efforts every day so you can see that things are getting done and celebrate those accomplishments.

Summer is all about making family memories! So don’t let work get in the way of that. Whether you have a vacation or a staycation planned, you need to enjoy the down time.

In episode 21 of the podcast, I expand on these five hacks to help you make time to relax and have fun with the family this summer. The best part…you can still have a productive summer while having fun!
