Like I mentioned earlier, this is the perfect time to dig through the data.

Information is power and when we can see where the results are coming from, it allows you to prioritize and maximize those results with your efforts, energy, expertise, and time. We want to pour gasoline on the fire of the things that are already working and so if you’re not even sure what those things are, it might be wise to set aside a few hours to dig into the data and let that guide your approach. The thing is, I notice that people are spending more time on things that aren’t really leading to true results instead of hyper focusing on what is actually driving results. I love to think of these as the needle mover tasks. Take what you need, leave what you don’t, and know that you have the power and choice to make every day wonderful in your own way. These are my tried-and-true time management practices that I always return to when I feel frantic or frazzled, and they’re the real deal for getting stuff done and feeling accomplished on any given day. Let me share the 5 things that help me build efficient days that let me maximize my work time AND feel confident to close my laptop when the work day is done. Because both are equally important to me, and it’s taken a year of intense challenge and change to really drive that home for me. I want to revisit the topic of prioritizing what matters and managing your time in a way that produces results AND protects your peace. It’s like that feeling of looking at the to-do list and letting it claim victory over you before you’ve even attempted to cross a single thing off. When I head into a workday or week frazzled without clear direction and I don’t have any clue what the priorities are or what should be tackled first, that’s always, always, always when my concentration suffers, my productivity plummets, and my workload seems larger and more obstructive than it usually, actually is. The catch? I have to have a solid game plan set up for myself. It’s a delicate dance and one that I’m still working on mastering, but if 2020 has taught me anything, it’s that I can be stretched outside my comfort zone and still show up and do the work, while prioritizing myself and my family, and while moving the most important things forward. It feels like this is alllllways the time of year where I simultaneously feel this urge to plan and review what’s been working and dig into the deep data, while also yearning to take this deep breath, to pause, to unplug from the noise on social media, and to just cozy up with my little fam on the couch under soft blankets with some hot cocoa and all the Frozen movies with the addicting tunes.Īnd, here’s the deal: I truly believe there’s a space and time for both.
