At My Brand Lashes, our goal is to help you succeed and thrive in your business.

As the holiday season approaches, we understand that your schedule can get busier than Santa's workshop. That's why we're here to help you manage your time effectively and ensure you have the lash products you need to sparkle through the festive rush.

Here are 5 time management tips on 'How to Set Up Your Schedule for Free Time During the Holiday Season Rush:  

1. Plan Ahead: 
   Look at your calendar and identify key holiday dates, like Hanukah, Christmas Eve, New Year's Eve, and any other special occasions. Block off personal time, ensuring you have moments to relax and celebrate with loved ones.
   
   Why? By proactively blocking off time, you can ensure that you're not overbooking yourself during peak holiday hours, leaving room for some well-deserved free time.
    
2. Extend Your Hours:
   
   Consider extending your working hours during certain days during the weeks leading up to the holidays. Opening early or staying a bit later can help accommodate more clients, giving you flexibility in your schedule.
    
   
   Why? Offering extended hours for a limited time allows you to cater to clients who may prefer appointment times outside of regular business hours, freeing up your schedule during the busiest times.
3.  Embrace Online Booking:
   Encourage clients to book their appointments online. Ensure your online booking system is seamless and user-friendly, allowing clients to choose available time slots that suit their needs. 
   
   Why? Online booking saves you time on administrative tasks, such as phone calls or manual scheduling, giving you more control over your calendar. This also helps to prevent that awkward moment when clients try to negotiate your free time. If you tend to be a push over, automate your booking.
    
4.  Efficient Appointment Booking:
   Implement an efficient appointment booking system that allows for staggered appointments. This way, you can make the most of your work hours without feeling rushed.
   
   Why? Staggered appointments can optimize your time by minimizing gaps between clients, making your schedule more efficient without overloading you
    
5. Prioritize Self-Care:
   
   Don't forget to prioritize self-care during this busy season. Schedule breaks to recharge, even if it's just a short walk or a cozy moment with a hot coffee.
   
   
   Why?  Taking care of yourself is essential for providing your clients with the best service possible. You'll be more energetic and focused when you have moments to recharge.
