When we become business owners, often we struggle with the transition of someone telling us exactly what to do and what to work on and us having to figure out what our daily tasks should be. In this episode, we discuss how to set your day up for success! I give you tangible tips you can implement right away! 

Key Takeaways:

  1. Get out a plank piece of paper or notebook

    • Brain dump everything that’s on your mind onto the paper

  2. Go through each thing you wrote down:

    • Delete things that aren’t immediate, profitable, or future tasks

    • Delegate things to someone else (team member, family, meal delivery, etc)

      • Consider using a virtual assistant

      • Give tasks that are not your strengths to someone who is gifted in those areas

    • Automate (using existing tools to simplify your life) things to take them off your plate (ex. calendly for booking meetings, planoly to schedule social media posts)

    • Update the list to everything that is left over. Circle top 3 things you need to complete today

    • Breakdown larger tasks into smaller tasks

    • Schedule tasks in your calendar to organize your time

  3. Block your time and theme your days
