Thanks Mirror, what does your "sort out" involve? I know I definitely have to stop having wine with every booking and hit the gym for a start
More or less instilling boundaries, confronting the issues - which might be a build up of overruns, a lot of contact between bookings, what I call 'faffing' around (myself or individual clients), just get everything back on a straight footing.
Stopping answering any SMS text enquiries as I have posted previously had an effect, doesn't mean I don't answer now. Just had an astounding effect at the time, also changing to outcall only for while for other life reasons rather than to have a clear out. Ok some perfectly nice clients could no longer book, and business was quiet for a while but because it was an unrelated decision that was absolutely fine and expected.
Definitely step back look at whatever is draining, sort it out and have good work/life boundaries = have your own time off. No need to even say it's a day off, only that you are 'busy'. Completely and utterly true.
