In my field of massage therapy it is vitally important to have self care time and personal that balances out work time. Massage therapists in general have very giving natures and many have a challenge saying no. As an entrepreneur working on an appointment only  basis, it is easy to let your appointments run all over personal time. To address making sure I have personal time:

* I block out on my schedule the times I am available for appointments including days off.

* Inside of appointment blocks I also schedule lunches, office work, and self care time like workouts.

* Everything goes on my calendar including personal time events like hair appointments, going out, meeting with friends, other social activities like bowling league night etc. This is a way to reinforce to myself that my personal time is just as important as business time. 

Once your schedule is set up, do not allow yourself to deviate from it by scheduling that one client on a day off that cant find any other time they are available to come in. Please read this paragraph again, it is vitally important.The more you value your personal time, the more your clients will honor it!
