"Eliminating Mindless
Busyness
in Your Workday"
Do you
ever think at the end of the day, "What did I accomplish?" You
went from email to email, coached clients, took breaks and did
not accomplish what you set out to do.
Welcome to the world of the business owner!
To eliminate mindless busyness, start by planning, not managing
your time. Become organized!
The following 4 tips will help create organization and reduce
time wasting:
-
Stop email distractions
It is easy to become addicted to emails. Reading emails is a
form of escape. We unconsciously feel connected to others
and let everything else slide.
We can create a time management plan by checking for emails
three times a day, once in the morning, noontime and at the
end of your business day. The important thing, limiting your
time to only 30 minutes for each session. Then move onto the
important work you have planned.
-
Plan your day
At the beginning of your work day, sit down with your
favorite drink and plan 1 to 3 activities you want to
accomplish. Then write down the steps you are going to take.
Keep in mind there are only 8 hours in a working day and
everything cannot be accomplished in that timeframe.
-
Project Planning
When working on larger projects, break the activities down
into small steps, in order not to become overwhelmed. Remind
yourself constantly to be realistic of how much time a
specific step will take. Then schedule days and timeframes
you will work on the specific activities.
-
Evaluating
Before ending your work day, evaluate what you have
accomplished. Continue following your plan or make
revisions. Remember...nothing is set in stone and
ideas/activities can be changed in a moment.
Always
congratulate yourself for a job well done.
Now it is your turn! To start accomplishing work activities in a
timely fashion. Please share your wins and lessons learned with
the Love Yourself - It Matters Community.
Together
we will build successful businesses.

In New Jersey the temperatures hit the high 80s last week. All of a
sudden I was pulling summer clothes out of the attic and putting the
winter clothes away.
