5:6 How To Manage Your Time
“Lee, I am curious how you manage your time as a business owner. How do you keep up with everything (managing people, projects, doing your podcast, social, refining processes, etc.)?” April Edwards from the WP Innovator Facebook Group:
Sooo……. Let me be honest…. It is a journey and get lost many times along the way.
Here is what I practice:
My To Do Book
_ list things to be achieved
_ review first thing
_ what needs to be moved along a day
_ be realistic
Work Hours
_ early routine like meditation, prayer etc
_ spend first few hours before 9am achieving items that need focus
_ calls for first couple of hours
_ regular calendar appointments for things like podcasts etc
_ lunch is not optional
_ 5pm finish is not optional
* _ sometimes some evening work is needed. I’m an entrepreneur who is growing a business and part of the journey means I have to put in the extra hours. This is not defeat, its a necessary part of the journey.
Projects
_ we use a combination of tools
_ freedcamp
_ iTask3 (Similar to microsoft project)
_ weekly meeting on Mondays chaired by Larissa
_ advice from Dan Connors regularly to help train our team and evolve our processes
Content Generation
_ I create monthly goals
_ each week I ensure I do some small actions to work toward whatever goal I have
Social Media
_ meet edgar
_ advice from Sarah
People
_ daily conversations
_ project tasks clearly owned
_ project manager per project
