Many people wonder how I can juggle so many different hats and how do I manage my time. I want to share how I do this, and I apologise that there is no magic formula. I am a natural juggler and actually thrive in working this way – which is great when I am managing my own business but not so great when I have to focus on one activity. My brain is constantly thinking ‘there is so much other things that you can do!’
The approach that works for me is having weekly task lists (I adapted this from Stephen Covey’s version – so it is effective!). I categorize things into day-to-day tasks, which require minimal mental effort, and more creative tasks. For example, creating content for social media platforms. In this way, I don’t panic when I haven’t completed my list by the end of the day; I have a week to work around.
Have you got any suggestions? And if you’re struggling, give this a go.
