#246: Creator Sanity: Time Management and Productivity Tips for a Sustainable Business

Feeling consumed by your business? This episode tackles the myth of the 24/7 entrepreneur and shares practical time management and productivity tips for course creators. Learn how to establish boundaries, reduce guilt, and build a sustainable business that supports your life, not consumes it.

Learn how to:

• Make your in-home office not open 24/7: Establish clear work boundaries and schedules.
• Set boundaries on what you will and will not do: Learn to say "no" and prioritize effectively.
• Let go of the guilt: Embrace self-care as a necessity for long-term success.

Weekly Action Item:

• Implement one new boundary in your business this week (e.g., specific work hours, no emails after a certain time).
• Schedule dedicated self-care time in your calendar.
• When you feel guilty about not working, actively challenge that thought.
