As the title suggests - what does your day/week look like? Do you have a strategy and have days reserved for meetings, admin work, etc? Do you group similar projects together? Or you’re just going with the flow?
I’m looking to optimise my process, as I feel like I can easily start procrastinating when I don’t have a system in place. And I’d rather spend that extra time going on a run or just be offline and read a book.
I’m working on several projects, most of which I could fit into two areas (I help with fundraising and marketing). I’ve reached a point where I’m comfortable not taking on new clients for a while. I’m also building two projects of my own, so my time is pretty much filled up for now. I’m working morning till evening, which is fine, but I’d like to claw back some time where that’s possible.
Currently, I sit down in the morning, check my Trello move things from “todo” to “today’s todo” and start working on the most important things first. I don’t have days reserved for meetings, although I have most of my weekly progress reports on Tuesdays. I have meeting scattered throughout the whole day, which I don’t particularly enjoy. Lots of room for improvement.
Interested in reading more about the routines that work well for you!
I’ve found it helpful to block out dedicated times for certain types of tasks, like meetings all at once on certain days. That way you avoid too many interruptions and stay focused on one thing at a time.
