Resin Storage Containers for Small Business Owners – Sick Days & Survival Tips
10 Tips to Keep Things Flowing
Being sick this past week was a tough reminder that small business owners don’t get sick days. There’s no team to cover for you — just you, your goals, and whatever energy you can muster.
Even on low days, there are ways to keep moving forward while giving yourself grace. April is a great time to reset and get organized, so I’m sharing 10 helpful tips to stay on track and spotlighting my newest resin storage containers for small business owners — perfect for adding function and beauty to your workspace.
1. Be Honest With Your Customers
Transparency builds trust. A quick update on Instagram Stories or TikTok can go a long way. Letting your audience know you’re under the weather sets expectations and shows the human side of your brand.
2. Schedule Content in Advance (When You Can)
Prepping content when you’re feeling well is a lifesaver. Even a few scheduled posts or emails can keep your business running while you rest.
3. Focus on Low-Energy Wins
Not everything has to be a big task. On slower days, use your energy to update product listings, check messages, or tidy up your workspace digitally.
4. Highlight New Products Passively
You don’t need to be “on” to share what you’ve been working on. This week I quietly added several resin storage containers for small business owners to the shop — and they speak for themselves.

Don’t have the energy to film something new? That’s okay. Repost a throwback, share a behind-the-scenes snap, or reuse a TikTok. Your audience loves seeing the process — even if it’s from last week.

6. Let Go of Perfection
Sometimes “done” is better than “perfect.” A quick phone photo, a shorter caption, or a simple reel is still meaningful. Consistency matters more than flawlessness.
7. Use Auto-Responses
If you’re unable to respond quickly, set up an auto-reply on Etsy, Instagram, or email. Let people know you’re a bit under the weather and will reply as soon as possible. It sets expectations and keeps communication clear.
8. Ask for Support
Lean on your community when you need to. Whether it’s help with market setup, someone grabbing coffee for you, or just a supportive message — you don’t have to go it alone.
9. Keep It Real With Yourself
You’re not a machine — you’re a maker, a creative, a business owner. Rest is productive too. Taking care of yourself helps you show up better in the long run.
10. Celebrate the Little Wins
Even if all you do is update one product or ship one order, that’s a win. Showing up — even at 60% — is still showing up. Give yourself credit where it’s due.
