The most basic things can feel like the easiest to neglect, forget ... or not even know how to do.
Here are 3 simple tips for managing your life & business:
- Think Time. Spend a minimum 2-3 hours every week in Think Time. Go completely offline with your thoughts, a notebook and pen. Think deeply on one thing in your business and follow it all the way through. Create a plan. Write a draft. Finish a draft. Vision. Strategize. Think deeply without distraction and make progress.
- Color code your calendar. Give everything you do a color (work, fun, rest, think time, exercise)
- Morning and evening rituals. How your morning goes has everything to do with how your evening goes the night before. Create a ritual for each.
Two recentish weeks from my calendar
I want to point out is the colors — red for work (but not a scary red ☺️), green for exercise, blue for fun, yellow for white space and Think Time (not shown on the first image).
Choose colors that make sense to you for the type of activity so when you take a glance you can quickly see what's what. Clearly I wasn't exercising as much in the second photo. I've had some weeks that are too blue — fun is great but if I'm doing too many things in a week I get exhausted and can look at my calendar to validate that.
Food for thought.
Lots of love,
Annie
p.s. Look what I found on my walk yesterday!
