Organize Your Business Day!

Entrepreneurs wear many hats. We are often up before the sun rises and we tend to go to bed after midnight. It seems, at least to me, that there is never enough time in the day to accomplish everything. I often feel like I am never caught up. Do you feel this way?

Full disclosure here- this is actually how I used to feel. I made a few changes recently to help me be more productive so I can go to bed early (sometimes even sleep in) without having guilt from what I didn’t get done on my shoulders.

Here are three things I am doing to be more productive in less time right now. Jot these down because they work!

#1. Forget early morning emails. These is derail your day. Focus on what needs to be done in the morning and catch up with client phone calls and emails later on in the day.

#2. Add 30% more time to your daily tasks. I found myself often behind, and stressed as a result, because I was assuming I could get certain tasks done in an hour. What I didn’t count was trips to the bathroom, delays from prior meetings cutting into this time frame, or emergency phone calls from clients. By blocking off an additional 30% more time for specific tasks you will find yourself less stressed and not running behind that often.

#3. Eating well. We’re all guilty of snagging a bagel (or worse, fast food) for breakfast or lunch. This isn’t enough to power your genius entrepreneur brain or spirit. Take time out to eat a real meal packed with veggies, fruit and protein. You will feel better and your body will function better, allowing you to be more productive.

I know these three tips seem simple. They do work and I would encourage everyone to turn these tips into business habits!
