The key is trying to keep a schedule

One of the hardest part about being an assistant is the ups and downs in work.  There are months where there will be no work at all and then the next two months might full of work.  This makes it almost impossible to keep a regular schedule.  Having a regular schedule, I believe and so do many others, is a key factor in a happier and more stress free life.  

I'm going to try and implement a schedule for myself.  The key factors are a regular sleeping regime that involves exercise.  I was thinking of waking up at 6am, exercising and going to work and them going to sleep at around 10pm so that i can get a full 8 hours.  Having set meal times are a good idea too.  This might sound pretty straightforward stuff, but in this business it's really easy to stay out late and sleep in late, miss a few meals and wind up not getting anything done, especially since most of the work year no boss is waiting for you to show up at work.

Don't let you business fail because of your bad schedule.
