Being the Boss of Your Farm Office - Pt. 1 Owning Your Time

“Time cannot be managed – you need to prioritise, and you need to prioritise time for you as well.” – Alison Hamilton Doing the farm books or running a small business office is an important role, that often gets downplayed (including by ourselves!) Women can can feel as though they're playing a supportive or even 'lesser' role in the farm business, often supporting everyone else’s needs first, before their own. But that mindset will only leave you feeling stressed out and ultimately unsatisfied. So how can you own your role, like the total boss that you are? Alison Hamilton is a business coach based in Wagga Wagga, NSW. She’s also a farmer and has created a course specifically for the farm office, after experiencing the shock and chaos of being handed over the bookwork of her husband’s family business many years ago.  This is a three-part collaboration series on how to be an absolute boss of your farm office; from better time management, getting good systems and process in place, to making sure you have a clutter-free office space. This episode is all about owning your time; learning how to say “no” (or “maybe later” if you still can’t say it!), writing your own job description to help set boundaries and giving up the illusion of multitasking. Alison is also offering Ducks on the Pond listeners a 20% off deal on her 6-week program: The Functioning Farm Office. We’ll give you the code you need in the episode! **Interested in sponsoring an episode or collaborating with us at Ducks on the Pond? We’d love to hear from you!
