2 Tips for Working Your Business During a Snow Day

Today is a really snowy day and in a lot of places they’ve canceling school because of the cold temps and the amount of snow. We had four inches of snow fall in about four hours time. That’s a lot of snow in a short amount of time. Communities back East have had something like 13 snow days so far. All I can say about that is WOW!

When you’re a work at home mom it can be a huge challenge to say the least. It’s hard to work a business when you have kids running around playing and having a good time. It’s also hard when they need your undivided attention.

Planning ahead is difficult at best, but it must be done or you won’t have success with your home business during snow days. The best thing to do is plan activities that can be done no matter what happens and also be prepared to use your plan at any given time.

There are many things you can do to reach success while your children are at home due to a snow day. Here are two tips that will help you reach that success.

1. Schedule your time as much as possible. Work as long and as hard as you can while the children are asleep. If you know ahead of time that school will not go on, don’t wake the children up. Let them wake up on their own. This will give you more time to get your work done.

If it’s possible, you might consider working later in the evening so your spouse can take care of the children or while they’re asleep again. This will give you more time to work, but it will also give you the ability to spend time with the children.

2. Taking the day off and spending it with your children might just be what you all need. While it may be difficult for you to do this, your children will feel so special and they’ll have a wonderful day.

You’ll have to work extra hard for the next day or two so you can get caught up, but if your children will only be out for a day, you might be able to make this happen and it won’t be too bad. You can still work before they get up, while they take a nap, or after they go to bed, but it will still allow you to spend time with them.

No matter what the reason is for your children having a day off, it’s possible to still work your business if you plan ahead and work your plan. The tips above are just a few of the many you can consider and work into your business. When you know what you’re plan is you’ll have success when your children are out of school.
