What I Learned This Week: It’s OK To Take a Break

Sometimes you need a break…and that’s OK!

For the past few weeks my “To Do” list has been longer than my days.

3 kids with end of school year projects
music lessons
baby showers
singing practice for church
managing a web site
shipping orders daily
laundry, laundry, laundry
cleaning house
grocery shopping
meal planning
cooking
planning end of school year parties
teaching classes
fundraisers
etc., etc., etc…

In addition to all those things and more, I have been trying to find time to list more inventory into my eBay store. Well, last week I didn’t even try. My eBay store was not on my list at all. I decided to forget about it for a week or two, and you know what? It was fine!

Part of the beauty of eBay is that you don’t have to treat it like a full time job. You can put it on the back burner for a week or two or more, and it will be there when you come back (just don’t forget to check if you need to ship something!). It’s also very easy to put your store on vacation if you need a break from shipping, too.

When you need to, don’t hesitate to take a little pressure off yourself. Even Mom’s can’t do everything!
