Favorite Time hack:
Family (activities)- especially now in COVID times
Wednesday afternoon Brain Dump
- Use google docs or just a piece of paper for 5 to 10 minutes, and write out absolutely everything that needs to get done and make a massive to-do list. No priorities, just write it out.
- Then start prioritizing. Pick 5 things to accomplish in a week.
Benefit: clear out major brain fog, to uncloud your focus.
Household
Getting your family all involved.
- “Handle your own things”- Teach kids to become more independent
- Team-work and divide household chores. Set up a timer for 20 min for Clean up Sprints. Get as much as possible in 20 minutes. Award for the best job! Do before and after pictures. Make it fun
Relationships
Work-life balance. Does it exist? Especially in the WFH environment, we are in.
- Be creative and take turns planning out dates and fun things, even at home. For example, plan a “Spa Evening”, or have a picnic in the backyard.
- Money Dates – a creative way to talk about finances. Schedule these times. Weekly is Anna’s suggestion!
Business
Find the right tool for the job. So simple, but misunderstood a lot. What are those repetitive tasks, you can streamline, delegate, and eliminate?
