That’s ok! You can still be productive and profitable with limited time available
It doesn’t really matter how much, or how little, time you have to work on your business, its all about making sure you optimise that time effectively
So how can you do that …
Do a Brain Dump ✅
Some people don’t like the term Brain Dump but I love it – just think of it like a download. This takes everything out of your head and on to a piece of paper. Every single task, every idea you have, write it down. Think about projects you want to do, what are the tasks involved
What happens is you’re literally freeing up space in your head so you’re not feeling so stressed that things haven’t been done. You now have this master list which you can use to prioritise the work that will move you closer to your goals and bring money into the business – we all want that don’t we?
Prioritise Work ✅
You now need to go through everything and prioritise the tasks that you need to be doing first. The key here is to ask yourself 2 questions:
- Will this bring money into the business?
- Will this move me closer to achieving my goal?
If the answer to either of those questions are no, then you don’t focus time at the moment for that task … or you delegate the work to get it done (or even delete it)
Congratulations, you’ve now created your to do list!
Choose just 3 things you MUST do each day ✅
Instead of having your huge to do list feeling like something that you’ll never get through, focus on just 3 things you MUST do today – these are 3 tasks that you have to get done no matter what and are non negotiable
You can then choose 3 more things that would be great if you can do them but not the end of the world if you don’t
And finally, choose 3 more things that would be bonus tasks if you got them done
This way, you’re only focusing on 3 things each day so this will definitely help you to optimise your time as well as helping to avoid overwhelm
