Let’s face it, our days are filled with interruptions like emails, phone calls, and unexpected issues. It’s chaos! I was floundering in work, depleted, before I began structuring my days, weeks, and quarters grouping work flow tasks together.
My method of organizing your days comes in three types: management days, money days, and mission days. By assigning each day a theme and sticking to it, you’ll regain control of your schedule and eliminate the chaos.
Management Days are for your admin & operation tasks like all those meetings.
Money days are for tasks that make your business money.
Mission days are stepping away from the business to work on the business.
So here’s how it works:
Decide which days will be your management, money, and mission days. Plan it out for the next 8-12 weeks and stick to it.
On management days, focus on meetings, operations, and admin work. Get all the necessary tasks done.
Money days are for making money, whether it’s completing billable work or doing business development.
Mission days are all about working on the bigger picture of your business. Step away from the office and engage your brain in creative ways.
Remember to prioritize deep work, which is uninterrupted, focused work. Set aside a dedicated deep work day each week to really delve into a project.
Be flexible with your mission day (typically Fridays) and use it for rest and recharge, or to dive into trainings and personal growth.
By following this method, you’ll regain control over your schedule, increase productivity, and eliminate the chaos that’s been holding you back. So go ahead, give it a try and see the transformative impact it has on your life. You won’t believe how easy it is to bring order to the chaos!
