Welcome to the first ‘Inbetween-a-sode” These are short episode that we will be releasing in between our longer episodes with featured guests.
This week, Michael is going to run you through his “NOT to do list” of stressful and common habits that entrepreneurs need to eliminate. So sit back and enjoy a bite-sized episode packed full of useful tips.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Don’t let emails and texts annoy your routine first thing in the morning or last thing at night. It will affect your thinking in the morning and your resting in the evening. Try to get at least one main task out of the way before you tackle your messages.
Have a clear agenda and end time for every meeting you attend. And get a copy of the agenda before the meeting. This way, you can have clarity around what you want to say, but also it will help you identify the people in the room that are on the same page as you.
Batch your emails! This means setting aside designated times to check your email and sending out replies in batches, usually once or twice a day. This way you are not constantly checking your emails which allows you to focus your mind on the task at hand.
Don’t work harder and expect to be less overwhelmed. Prioritise, don’t overwork. If you don’t prioritise then everything becomes overwhelming, but if you prioritise the most important tasks and do them first all of a sudden you will feel less overwhelmed.
BEST MOMENTS
“Within discipline lies freedom.”
“What you don’t do, determines what you can do.”
“Have a digital detox…switch your phone off one day a week.”
“Do less, better.”
