I’ve had so many days like that. Work all day and still feel like nothing got done. For me, I’ve learned that I need to not put so much on my plate each day as every day something comes up whether from a client or internally that I need to handle. I need to actual schedule time for unscheduled tasks 🙂 Then I need to also tell myself that I’ll handle those tasks at a certain time of day, like after I completed what I had scheduled. It’s a work in progress but I’m getting better.
This was a great article. I liked it so much we added it to our round-up blog today.
Hi Angela! Scheduling time (or blocking off time) in your calendar for unexpected events can sound funny to some, but really it’s acknowledging how life and business really happens on a day-to-day basis. 🙂 Plus, I find that when I block off this “buffer time” or “white space” in my calendar, I find there’s room for fun, creative moments too! It’s easy to let your schedule run you, and some small tweaks like this can really be empowering and make business more fun! It’s habits like these that allow for thinking and preparation time so we can be present and prepared for each appointment and project instead of stumbling into a meeting trying to catch our breath. I’m so glad you liked the article. Thanks so much for sharing!
