I’m the type of person who will get stuff done in the amount of time given. If I have 4 hours to get 6 hours of work done, I’ll make it happen. But if I have 6 hours to get 4 hours of work done, then I’ll do that too…
My most productive days are when I follow this process and I thought it might help someone else too.
I start with a daily to-do list that I keep in a Google Sheet and then transfer that list into the time slots in my Passion Planner, including scheduling breaks. Breaks are important for mental sanity and also to give you a time buffer if you go over. Once something is done, it moves down into the “done” column.
I never delete tasks because I want to see what I accomplished and use it for reference later if needed. Early on in my business I would delete tasks or just not track what I did that day and it lead to feeling like I was a failure and wasting time so that simple trick alone has helped me a lot.
After the week is over, I hide the sheet in my document to keep things tidy. That way I can always bring it back later if I need to reference it.
I know this is a really simple process but I can’t tell you how helpful it has been with my productivity and keeping my schedule tighter. None of us want to work super long days and this keeps me on task so I can work less but still maintain the same productivity.
