- Not enough hours in your day to run your business?
- Never find time to do marketing?
- Never find time to shower?
What?
- In this video, as part of achieve your goals January,
we give you four time management strategies to get
more done than ever before. - Oh yeah, hit it.
(Ding)
- Nwo go shower. - Strategy number one.
Set deadlines for everything, right, Andrew,
you got 30 seconds to say this or else.
- Or else what? - Time has started, my friend.
- Okay so there once a nice man called Parkinson
who said tasks expand to the time alloted.
He was right, tasks take as long as we allow them to take.
So start setting deadline for everything
and not just the big stuff, the small stuff too.
Things like social media notifications, give yourself
seven minutes, write the blog, give yourself an hour
and start setting these mini deadlines for every single
task that you do in your day.
Use Siri or use Alexa or use anything just to get you,
just to set a timer so you actually know
when something has to be finished by.
You will save a tonne of time, I promise, done, phew.
Out of breath. - Well done.
(laughing)
Strategy number two is write down your plans for the month.
If you wanna get stuff done, you can't just have it
all in your head, you need to formulated
written down plan to manage your time.
- Some people us their calendar app for this.
They'll time chunk to the nth degree,
scheduling time for things like going to the gym
or making lunch or even going to the toilet.
- Being this anal, pun intended, might seem a little bit
crazy but it does work, promise.
- We don't use our calendar app for this
but we do use a spreadsheet to manage every single
task and project and when it actually has to be done
and to get your hands on that spreadsheet,
we give it away for free in our Smashing Ridiculous
Goals master class, just go to
andrewandpete.com/smash to get your hands on that.
- Strategy three is to start forming habits.
This leads on from the last one in that it's
difficult to make that straight switch to all of
the sudden being the master of all time and space
and everything, you are not The Doctor, okay?
Maybe at this point, you're just the assistant.
- But a good one like Rose or Amy Pond.
- That was a Doctor Who joke, by the way.
- But you need to get started so start by being
insanely organised with just one very small part of your
task list but make it something that you do every single
week such as scheduling social media content
or writing a blog or sending an email campaign
or doing your accounts, just something that you need to
do every single week to keep your business running.
- Pick that one thing and put it in your diary for a very
specific amount of time and the same time every single week.
Start building that one habit and then add another
and another and another and another.
(video game music)
- Over time, being this organised just becomes the norm.
Take it from two people who have been there and done that
and now we know, every Tuesday is our content day.
Every morning, we're checkin' our social media
and every day at 12:03 pm, he can go for a wee.
- Yeah, I'll be right back.
Strategy four, batching and bulking, oh yeah.
- Oh yeah. - Our final strategy
is an important one, oftentimes these one of tasks
can all be batched together under the same theme
and done at one specific time and this does two things.
Number one, it keeps us focused because our mind only
has to concentrate on doing one thing.
- And number two, it saves time because Parkinson's
law kicks in because you've got a focus deadline
for actually getting something done.
For example, a lot goes into our content marketing plan.
We have scripting, we have shooting, we have editing.
We have graphics creations, we have social posts creations.
We have lead bags, we have up sells, all of this
needs to be done and if we let it spread out across
the week, nothing would ever get done.
Instead, it's batched together, it gets done on one day
every single week and everything gets done
because there is that deadline.
- You can apply this to so many other different aspects to
your business to other than just marketing.
For example, client work, business development,
doing your accounts, even meetings, right?
Meetings and podcast interviews, we always try
and fit into the same day every single week or month
so that we can all do it in one big batch
and that saves us a tonne of time.
So there we go, guys, four ways to manage your time
more effectively but what is your favourite.
What do you currently do, we wanna know in the comments.
So let us know, is it a, setting deadlines,
b, planning your month, c, formulating habits
or d, batching and bulking, oh yeah.
