Creating Structure

For some, a little structure is all that's needed to increase productivity. Some tips:

• Write down everything you would like to get done for the week.
• Seperate the "must get done" from the "would be nice to get done".
• Time-block the "must get done" into your calendar.
• Prioritize the "would be nice" in order of importance, and time-block as many as you can.

Be flexible and leave enough free time in your schedule. Things typically take longer than you plan, and unexpected tasks will arise.

Make sure you leave time to think, plan, and review. Yes, this should be time-blocked as well. You cannot run a business being "reactionary" all day long.

This is a good first step to creating some structure in your work week. More to come.
