Isolation has meant a lot more time on my hands. Besides doing more reading, running and writing, I have also found time to do a few jobs around the house. One was to pressure wash the deck.

Attention Needed

My goodness, I thought it was a bit dirty but as you can see from the before and after photo above it was embarrassingly so. This is not so surprising after years of neglect.

I immediately took a photo because it reminded me of the things that we become used to over time. Having more time at home, helps us realise what needs attention.

The filthy deck is one example. Untidy laundry cupboards with leaking batteries or out of date sunscreen are others. We found sunscreen that had expired in 2011!

Business Considerations

Besides doing a few jobs around the house, this spare time also provides the opportunity to look at some of your processes, systems, services, products or collateral in your business that could benefit from having a good pressure wash applied to them.

Perhaps it’s a website or marketing collateral that really needs an overhaul. Maybe you have some products or services that could be rejuvenated. What about some client relationships that have been neglected for too long?

I’d love to hear from you about the things you have had time to do in your business that have been a bit neglected.
