Hey,
I hope you're doing well! 🎉
Have you ever felt like your days slipped away without accomplishing what you intended?
You’re not alone!
I’ve been there, scrolling endlessly, being distracted, and wondering where the time went. That’s why I swear by time audits. It’s not about being overly critical but about getting a real look at where your hours are going.
I use a simple legal pad or a note on my phone to track everything—answering emails, running errands, and more. When I review my day, it’s easier to see what I’ve accomplished and where I can improve. Plus, then I get to celebrate my wins.
I want you to celebrate yours, too, including filing papers, doing the dishes, calling people back, answering emails, and filling the toilet paper roll. All of it matters!
In this week’s episode, we’ll dive into some powerful strategies to enhance your productivity, come on! It can be fun and ensure your business is aligned with your actual goals.
Time audits help me understand my daily patterns and identify areas for better focus. It’s a game changer when I feel like I’m spinning my wheels. I encourage you to try it—just jot down your activities and see how they stack up!
We’ve all heard the saying, “Work smarter, not harder,” but it hits home when you start delegating. I’ve got an amazing team member, Enrique, who’s become indispensable. Finding the right help can free up your time and boost your productivity, especially if you are a solopreneur.
I also suggest using tools like Basecamp to manage tasks and stay focused on what you do best. Remember, it’s not about loving every detail of your work—it’s about aligning your energy with tasks you excel at and enjoy. The phrase “Do what you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life” is bunk. Some of it is boring, arduous, and brain-cramping, but it gets good again with systems and flow!
When you delegate tasks that drain you and focus on what fuels your passion, whether it’s hiring a pro or outsourcing some chores, it’s worth investing in the right help to keep your business running smoothly.
Thinking about adding new income streams to your business? It’s a fantastic idea but requires time and planning.
You could start by brainstorming ideas—go wild with possibilities, no matter how outlandish they seem. Sometimes, the most creative ideas come after the initial brainstorming session. Practice by capturing all the ideas on paper, in recording, or out loud in conversation with a business partner. All ideas are allowed. You’ll figure out what isn’t good but usually, the fabulous idea is ten ideas in!
Allocate time to research and develop these ideas, but don’t let them overwhelm your current projects. Integration is key!
Running a business isn’t just about logistics; it’s about passion, purpose, and, often, fun if you’re doing it right.
Where can the fun come from? Discovering why you are doing what you are doing in the first place. Get honest with yourself.
For me, it is that I truly want you to believe in yourself and live a life of joy and soul connection. Then, go take that brilliance out into the world and inspire others. When I have a challenge, and the inner critic is talking, I remember this and it inspires me to do another podcast episode, lead a group, create a course, show up for my clients with all of my brilliance and put my energy where my words are!
What’s your big “why” that drives you? Reflecting on this can reignite your enthusiasm and align your actions with your actual goals. Make sure your mission resonates with you on a personal level—it’s the fuel that keeps you going on tough days.
Thanks for reading! I’m excited to hear your thoughts on this. Feel free to reply and share how you use these strategies in your business and life.
Looking forward to connecting soon!
