Welcome back to the Yay for Business Podcast! In today’s episode, we are tackling time management for rebels.

What is a time management rebel? A time management rebel is someone, like me, who is very action-oriented, but struggles with a lot of the advice that may work for other people.

I’ve always been fascinated by how people spend their workday, how they produce results, and what actions they take. Because most of the strategies they use don’t work for someone like me (and I know I’m not the only one), I wanted to create something that would work for us time management rebels.

In today’s episode, I want to celebrate you and your unique way of doing things, and give you some strategies that can help you tackle time management.

This episode will cover:

• Not letting the tools be in charge of your schedule (you are in charge!)
• Thinking about the positive qualities that come with your calendar
• What is causing you to avoid that task on your calendar?
• What is the consequence of not completing what’s on your calendar?
• The big rock concept
• Prioritizing self-care
• Knowing your work priorities
• Short-term vs. long-term thinking
• Having unrealistic expectations
• What would you need to do to take time off?
• My planning methods

Next week’s episode is all about hiring your first VA and the 25 tasks you should give them.  I am so excited about this topic because people always ask me what tasks they should hand off to their VA. Well, I have the answer – 25 of them – so you’ll want to tune in for that!

Exciting news: We have a virtual conference coming up next month. So mark your calendars for May 31st – June 2nd (and our VIP Bonus Day on June 4th). Stay tuned for more information and your chance to score early bird tickets!
