It’s Shakespeare’s birthday weekend here in London – and, of course, elsewhere – so after I’ve written this newsletter I’m taking my daughter down to the South Bank to take part in the celebrations…

Which means that even on a Sunday I’m juggling work and family commitments. I’ve been doing that for so long it’s second nature but it got me to thinking about how hard it can be.

Even if you don’t have a family, you might have a full-time job, friends to keep up with or a hobby that is important to you.

In this week’s newsletter, therefore, you will find tips on how to achieve that elusive work life balance when you’re running, or trying to run, an online (or offline) business.

There are some excellent tips here, including how to have the BAM attitude:

And some here that focus particularly well on time management (hint: guard it ruthlessly):

If you’d like a downloadable guide, there is a rather nice one here if you scroll to the bottom of the page and hit the pink button – no opt-in required.

It’s aimed at business owners but the tips are relevant to almost anyone trying to run their own home enterprise:
