self employed - to do list overwhelm suggestions?

Post Reply New Topic

What tips do you have for to-do list overwhelm.

I've been en entrepreneur for years and am always struggling with putting too much on my to do list for one day. Anyone else have this issue?

I usually try to tackle my most important items when I have the most energy during the day. I find myself avoiding my list items the past couple days however. I think it's because after these items are done I'll need to socialize more to network. Uggggh..

My least favorite thing to do sometimes, but it's needed for my income to increase. I think I just realized why I'm stalling!

What helps you stay motivated to do what you need to do?

Go "with your own flow" in that your body recognizes when you need to de-stress. A day or two lollygagging can make your subsequent more productive due to greater mental clarity and sharper sense of purpose. Such is a benefit of being your ultimate boss...

Set time limits to tasks.

If you feel overwhelmed or tired after your first time is up, reassess your list for the day and move to a new task. Have a theme and set a few tasks per day that relate.

And relax!

hire a freelancer to do the things you don't want to do or have little economic benefit. That way, you are free to do the more rewarding activities.

I'm still a high schooler living with my parents; but I plan to be a book writer when I grow up.

Since book writing is already something I like, I think it shouldn't be too difficult ;p
