004: Part 2, Time Management Tips + Productivity Tools for Women Entrepreneurs

Do time management tips make you cringe?

Trying to manage your time and productivity can be exhausting. If you’ve been struggling with how to prioritize tasks or fine-tune your schedule and feel like you’re on a constant hamster wheel, you are not alone. Nearly everyone I know struggles with this, whether you’re an entrepreneur or not.

This is a two-parter, so if you’ve already listened to part one, let’s jump into part two!

If you missed last week’s episode, I shared why I don’t believe in hustle and how to work from a place of rest, alignment, and abundance. Listen to part one of this series here–it will set the stage for today’s episode and help you understand more of where I’m coming from and why this is so important.

Work with your energy rather than against it.

Here’s the thing: unless you learn to manage your energy, you will unknowingly undercut your productivity and progress every. single. time. It’s not just about the physical work and time management tips and techniques, but about the energy alignment.

Work with intention and mindfulness.

Creating mindful practices helps me shift into an abundant mindset, where I’m able to do my most deep, focused, and meaningful work, and ultimately achieve more by doing less. 

Ready to do less and achieve more with these time management tips and productivity tools?

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why the quality of your work matters over quantity. 
• How to manage your energy with productivity tools. Unless you learn how to do this, you will unknowingly undercut your productivity. 
• Why working with intention is essential.
• How to prioritize your tasks and plan your day.
• Why you should get yourself a good paper planner, plus some tips on how to utilize it (including what to track, what NOT to track, and more).
• Some of my tried-and-true tips for maintaining work/life balance.
• The assessment tests I recommend to help you tune into your innate gifts and find what works for your specific personality.
