Creating those clear expectations from the get go makes all the difference. I also love the idea of rewarding yourself with a little treat. It's a simple, way to stay motivated without burning out.

Little treats are my saving grace! Thanks for reading! It’s true, we wear many hats and learning to keep them organized keeps our head on straight. 🤠
