Managing your time is an essential but difficult trick to master when you become an entrepreneur. Primarily, because you now have the same time in the day, but no one looking over your shoulder telling you what you need to do first, when to make appointments, or how to prioritize.

It can be overwhelming.

Here is what I’ve found is working for me!👇

1. Have a morning routine. I am really anal about this time and protect it fiercely! Mine consists of ACV detox drink first thing, smoothie, vitamins, chill out time, and sometimes a workout. No emails or social media!

2. Using time blocks for my scheduling. AKA dedicated time allotted to getting important tasks done, sales calls, in person meetings, planning, prospecting, etc.

3. Using the Pomodoro method to keep myself focused and eliminate distraction. I love the Focus app to monitor the Pomodoro time and use the Calm app to play really chill music while i work. It makes me zone in like nothing else.

Having so much is overwhelming all at once, but try these techniques to get ahold of your time and move the needle in your business.

I’m curious, what are your favorite techniques for productivity?
