Organize Your Inbox Like A Pro

Organize your Inbox like a pro?

Would you like to know the secret to organize our inbox like a pro? Guessing the answer is heck ya!

Aww or should I say Ugh?

This seems to be the overall feeling that my customers have regarding email management. The task that must be done, but feels like it drains the life out of you someday.
With all the revenue generating tasks they could be doing, many customers are spending far too much time working on email.

This is my secret to get through the inbox in record speed

I read through my email twice daily. Once in the morning around 11 and once in the afternoon/evening when I'm planning the adventures for my next day.

Before you begin start a timer for 25 minutes…

For the first 5 minutes, I go through and sort the emails. They will go into the following folders in my inbox *Act Now, *Hopper, *Sort, or a specific customer. Organizing in this manner allows me to quickly and easily get to inbox zero.

*Act Now

I start with Act Now. Anything in this folder that I can be done in a few minutes I will do it now. Anything else will get a reply that I've received the message, and it will be added to the following day's task list. Psst… make this a template for a quick response.
This allows me to run my day and not be driven by email.

*Hopper

This folder is for all the items that I need to keep around, but do not want it taking up room in the inbox. For example, a webinar that you will attend or an email that I will need to reference in the future.

*Sort

Everything else. It is really just the “archive” folder, but c'mon I can't have this folder come before my hopper folder – obviously.

Let me know if these help you Organize Your Inbox Like A Pro!

Little Side Note

I do schedule a 25 minute time sprint on my daily calendar for unforeseen emergencies. Because you just never know…

What’s Holding You Back?

What’s Holding You Back?

What's holding you back from your success?Do you question what is holding you back from success? It's funny how it can be difficult to see the areas where your hold yourself back. As a blogger do you know what's holding you back from success?

I can almost hear you thinking it's all the tasks that I'm not proficient at getting done. You know the research on SEO, and how to drive traffic to my website. You feel as if these tasks are causing you to spin your wheels and waste your valuable time.

When you start down the path of creating a blog, it was with the dream of finding a way to make money online.

Those tasks aren't what's holding you back.

Now, this is important it's fear holding you back from creating a profitable blog. A profitable online business.

It is fear causing you to spin your wheels and waste your valuable time.

You guessed it, fear is what's holding you back from making money with your blog.

It is keeping you stuck. Above all, it is keeping you from creating that course or digital product you've mapped out in your journal.

The voice of fear.

How do you keep heading in the right direction when that little voice of fear in your head is distracting you?

Here's how it works, it will get all up in your head. Causing you to think about all the things you don't want for your blogging success.

I know from first-hand experience when you're focused on what you don't want, you'll encounter many little side paths that cause your journey to take longer. You and I both know this only causes you to feel discouraged in your progress.

Let's face it, these side paths are not very smooth and cause you to struggle with staying focused on what you set out to achieve with your blog.

After all, struggle caused by fear lead to feeling as if you're spending more time in reverse. Also to what you don't want instead of what you do want.

Disguise itself as busy.

Meanwhile, fear will disguise itself as busy.

For this reason, you'll spend countless hours researching and comparing yourself to other bloggers in your space.

You know I'm right, heck I still will catch myself doing this. However, I know it is my fear that causes it.

Rather than working on your business, you'll be in the back office trying to manage every aspect of the business.

But, what if you take a step back and ask yourself if controlling all aspects of the business is moving you down the path to success?

Is fear disguising itself as busy or the need for perfection?

Would your time be better spent working on your first course or the digital product that you can sell to your list?

So, what is my point? Your comparison and fear will cause you to forget how valuable your knowledge and time actually are. This was put on your heart for a reason.

If you still feel you struggle with time management. 

Here are a few things that I've implemented to manage my time efficiently.

Schedule It All

Either at the beginning of the week, the night before, or first thing in the morning. Schedule your day. Plan out the tasks that must be done.

And remember to Eat Your Frog First Thing In the Morning. Read More Here.

Plan Your Social Media

Batch schedule your social media so you do not go down the social media rabbit hole during your day. I spend an hour on Sunday's planning for the week.

Write Down Your Goal

Keep your goal front and center. Write it down daily. Everyday schedule one or two tasks that will move that goal forward.

Take Time for Self-Care

Take time for yourself. Make sure that you're scheduling time for self-care. This could be meditation, yoga, journaling, exercise or reading a book. What does self-care look like to you?

The longer I run a business the more I understand that keeping things simple is the best. Things pop up during the day that will take your time. It's best to keep those must-do tasks ones that are revenue generating.

Gratitude
