SDH 268: Corporate America to Six-Figure Entrepreneur in Less than 4 Months with Julie Ciardi Jun 11, 2018

Show notes

Did you take the traditional path in life you’ve been told is the right one? This path probably includes some version of a 9-5 corporate job, a stable salary, a family; and everything that seems right on the outside, but feels wrong on the inside.

You aren't passionate about your work. You know there’s something else out there for you to create, a new role for you to fill; but you’re scared-- scared of changing your lifestyle, following a path that is different from what you’ve been taught is right.

You’re not alone.

These feelings are the start of your entrepreneurial journey and tend to sit along for the ride.

Today, she joins us to share her first 3 months after taking the leap with her boutique that offers women clothes to hustle in style, while also raising her three kids.

SDH 267: How to Become 10X More Productive with Schedule Blocking with Amanda Boleyn Jun 07, 2018

Show notes

Today I’m taking you behind the scenes of what my day to day looks like, how I structure on a daily and weekly basis, how schedule blocked has made me 10X more productive and rules I put in place to help myself stay on task.

What is schedule blocking? It is blocking out certain parts of your day/week to accomplish a certain task. Schedule blocking incorporates something called “Batching” where you do similar tasks in one sitting versus multiple sittings. An example of batching might be “outlining email copy for different campaigns in one sitting” “recording all audios for one month’s podcast in a 2 hour period” “responding to any and all emails in a designated time period”

Why is schedule blocking helpful? A couple of reasons...because it incorporates batching you save on mental energy and time from having to switch in between tasks and it lets you plan ahead.

In this episode you will...

Learn about schedule blocking
Discover the importance of schedule blocking
How to implement schedule blocking
Plan your time efficiently
How to focus more on being productive
Get tips on how to maximize your daily schedule
Productive action helps you create clarity and alignment towards your goals. It helps you drive that direction.

INSIGHTS

"Busy work is noise, it is an energetic weight that holds us back from accelerating."

"Reading can be a form of procrastination. It may feel productive at the moment but it is passive action because we’re not truly taking action."
