As a Christian woman entrepreneur, it's a constant struggle to manage time. But don't worry, I'm here to share a little productivity hack that will help you break free from the overwhelming feeling and reclaim hours of your time every single week.

Writing Down Tasks to Improve Productivity

If you're someone who doesn't write down the tasks you need to accomplish daily, weekly, or monthly, you're likely in a state of constant overwhelm. When you find pockets of time, 15, 20 minutes, or even just 5 minutes to work on your business, you might find yourself panicking, unsure of what tasks to tackle next. This is where writing things down, like a to-do list, comes in handy.

Writing down tasks can help prevent those moments of panic. Instead of wasting 5-15 minutes trying to figure out what to do, you'll have a clear list to refer to. This way, when interruptions inevitably occur, such as a baby waking up from a nap or it's time to start on supper, you can quickly return to your list and pick up where you left off.

Partnering with the Holy Spirit in Business

As a Christian business owner, consider the Holy Spirit as the chief operating officer of your business. Regularly hold business meetings with your Heavenly Board of Directors, seeking their wisdom and guidance. This approach not only helps to bend time but also allows you to accomplish tasks more efficiently.

Visualizing Accomplishments

One crucial aspect of boosting productivity is to visualize and recognize what you've accomplished throughout the day, the week, or the year. Writing down tasks and ticking them off once they're completed gives a sense of progress. It's a simple yet effective way to stave off feelings of spinning your wheels without getting anywhere.

My Approach to Organizing Tasks

My method involves sketching out three columns: "Today", "This Week", and "This Month". At the bottom of the page, there's another section titled "This Week's Not-To-Do List". It's a straightforward system that helps categorize tasks based on when they need to be done.

Before you start organizing tasks into these columns, begin with a brain dump. List everything that you need to do, focusing specifically on your business tasks. Break them down into what needs to be done today, this week, and this month. This approach not only helps to unload your brain but also provides a clear roadmap of what needs to be done and when.

Remember to check your list daily. Move tasks from the "This Week" column to the "Today" column and from the "This Month" column to the "This Week" column as necessary. This way, you always have a clear idea of what needs to be accomplished on any given day.

Conclusion

Productivity is a skill that can be learned and improved. As a Christian woman entrepreneur, balancing various roles can be challenging, but with the right system in place, you can reclaim your time and increase your productivity. Remember to periodically check in with your Heavenly Board of Directors for guidance and wisdom. Don't forget to document your accomplishments and celebrate your progress. You're doing great! :)
