Stop spending time on small tasks.
Ever finish up the day and wonder where your time went?
Distractions aside (we all have them!), sometimes we spend too much time doing little things in our business. Maybe it’s sending emails, or maybe it’s some type of admin work.
Important, sure. But every time you switch tasks from one thing to another, your brain needs time to catch up. It’s called context-switching, and it costs you valuable time.
If you can streamline, automate, or eliminate these little distractions, you can reclaim time in your day for more important work. Or simply enjoy the additional free time.
Here are a few things to try.
First things first: if you’re not already using a calendar scheduling tool — go get one. There’s no reason to have a string of back-and-forth emails with people trying to schedule something.
I use Calendly, but you can also use an app like TidyCal or Cal.com. Google Workspace has also introduced scheduling features. With calendar scheduling apps, not only do you save time when scheduling, but you can also protect your time.
