Sound familiar?
You sit down to work with a million things on your mind. You check emails, tweak your website, get lost in Instagram stories, answer a couple of DMs… and before you know it, it’s 2 PM, and nothing important got done.
Here’s the problem: You’re busy, you FEEL busy. All day. But you’re not productive.
Because no amount of crossing little tasks off your to-do list feels as good as working on the things that actually matter in your business.
No time management system or little 15-minute increments scheduled out for the entire week will make you feel in control quite like doing the things that actually drive results.
And that’s why your business isn’t growing the way you want it to.
The Truth About “Being Busy”
Most entrepreneurs spend 80% of their time on low-impact work – the tasks that feel important but don’t actually move the business forward.
Think:
✅ Checking your DM’s, texts and inbox 47 times a day
✅ Looking up every time you hear the sound of a notification to see what just came through
✅ Updating your brand colors or Canva templates for the 6th time this month
✅ Posting on Instagram with no clear strategy
✅ Spending hours in Canva looking for a template you made 3 months ago
✅ Going back and forth in the DM’s with fellow entrepreneurs and business besties instead of with potential customers
None of those things bring in more revenue or get you closer to the business you actually want.
The Fix: Work in Weekly Themes, Not Daily Chaos or Post-It Notes
Instead of waking up every day and reacting to whatever pops up, use this method:
Monday: Admin work (planning, finances, messages, contracts, backend operations, etc.)
Tuesday-Thursday: Revenue-focused work (client calls, marketing, selling, batching content that actually works, and mission-critical projects that drive business growth)
Friday: Strategy and self-organization day
When you work this way, every task has its place – so you never waste energy deciding what to do first.
