When this client came to me, she complained that she was spending way too much of her precious non-family work time on just the deciding part. You know what I mean – the deciding what I’m going to do during this work session thing.
We’ve all done it. It has to happen, you’ve got to choose today’s to-do’s, and it’s a crazy time suck.
So here’s what I told her.
If you pre-plan 3 to-do’s each day (or whatever would fit in your time slot), then you won’t waste time re-deciding each day. Because that takes a lot of mental energy (as you’ve found from your own experience!).
Even if you need to save one work slot a week for this planning session, it’ll feel much easier for you to handle (with the planning being compartmentalized into one day only).
Alternately, you could give up a half hour of your free time during the week, to do that business planning, and then have each work session be focused on your biz to do’s. Which sounds better to you? Go with that one.
See, we don’t need to waste time making ourselves wrong for how our brain works. We just need to take the easiest way around it, and get back on top of the productivity wagon.
It’s not that hard – at least, not when you take the guilt out of it.
So back to you – would having designated planning times really maximize your work time each day?
If so, when are you going to slot that in?
Are you wondering when this 6-figures-business-dream is EVER going to come true for you, ’cause you don’t even have the time to get through today’s to-do’s?
