Put the sticky notes away, take a deep breath, and get ready to make some space in your calendar to take control of your life! Not just your work-life, your whole life.
This week’s caller is busier than she can fathom, and is in dire need of a schedule detox. She still has to market, reach new people, and keep her back office running all on top of the actual coaching calls that make her the big bucks and make her heart happy.
I brought in productivity queen Brittany Dixon to chat with me all about:
- Our shared experiences in the events industry and how our chaos-controlling skills translated to running an online business
- Combating ‘shiny object syndrome’ with ideas, tools, systems, and fun tasks vs must-dos
- Noticing the signs that you’re about to hit the bottom of the rollercoaster, feeling like you “have no idea what you’re doing,” and occasionally wanting to burn it all down (but we don’t!)
- Things to remind yourself of when you inevitably reach that level of burnout and overwhelm, and what non-negotiable necessities you should have in your back pocket to help you push past it
- Avoiding the email inbox black hole
- Organizing your digital workspace so no time is wasted looking for things, digging around for passwords, and getting distracted with digital clutter in general
