You were busy ALL day.
Answered Slack. Cleared notifications. Fixed the calendar issue. Replied to the email marked urgent. (Which, upon further investigation, was NOT especially urgent….)
And somehow the sales page you actually wanted to finish is still sitting EXACTLY where you left it this morning.
So naturally, you think: “I need more time.”
But you HAD time…. It just got spent in 6-minute installments on everything that showed up first. And now the sales page is moving to tomorrow. Again.
(At some point, it’s less like a project and more like a roommate.) 😉
‘Til one Tuesday, it actually gets finished before dinner…. Without requiring a blank calendar and everybody else’s cooperation.
Curators tend to know this feeling pretty well…. When the whole day got handled… except the thing they actually wanted to finish.
That’s actually one of the five results on a short quiz I created. If you don’t know your archetype yet, you can find it at yourunbusylife.com/quiz.
Usually it’s the quick stuff.
The email. The notification. The 5-minute task. The thing that’s VERY satisfying to check off right now.
So the list keeps moving, the inbox gets cleaner, and the sales page spends another day watching everybody ELSE get picked first.
See, the moms who consistently move important projects forward aren’t necessarily working more hours each week – it’s just that their mastermind overhaul gets an ACTUAL hour… instead of collecting spare minutes like loose change.
Because once everything else gets first pick, sales pages don’t exactly have great odds.
‘Til one day, the marketing to-do that matters MOST this quarter gets its turn BEFORE the inbox decides what everybody’s doing.
