Are you running your business like you still have a boss?
If you’re still clinging to a rigid 9-to-5 mindset, it’s time to break free. In this episode, I’m sharing flexible work schedule examples that can help you avoid entrepreneurial burnout and create real time freedom.
We’ll dig into why traditional time management for entrepreneurs can feel so exhausting, and how redefining your work rhythm can transform not just your business, but your entire life.
If you’ve been feeling the pull for more boundaries in business, less guilt, and a business that actually fits your lifestyle, this one’s for you.
In this episode, we’ll cover:
- The surprising history behind the 9-to-5 workday (and why it’s failing entrepreneurs who are craving time freedom)
- How to find your “prime brain time” and build a custom schedule that maximizes your creativity and focus (flexible work schedule examples you can try this week)
- Why time freedom isn’t just about working less, but working smarter – and why that’s key to avoiding entrepreneurial burnout
- The truth about boundaries in business – how to set them, enforce them, and stop apologizing for them
- Why time management for entrepreneurs is more about energy than hours, and how to track your natural work rhythms for better results
What is one “guilt-inducing” habit you secretly enjoy as an entrepreneur? (Naps in the middle of the day? Cutting out early for a long walk? Turning off your phone for hours at a time?) DM me on Instagram @katyripp and let me know. I’d love to hear it!
