In this episode of Your Work Block, we dive into how to make your time work best for you. Some call this the practice of "time management," but I don't really like thinking about it that way. We cover the basics of time blocking, how to be as accurate as possible with your time blocks by getting "real" with your time, adding "buffer" time, and more. Listen to find out how to effectively structure your day to master your to-do list in the time you have available.
Episode 20: The Gift of Time and Yearly Calendar Planning
In this episode, we're talking about taking time--time to work on your business or time to not work at all.
At the beginning of the year, we're often thinking about what's next and how to utilize our time in the new year best. Whether we like it or not, time is a finite resource. And we all have the same amount of time each day. This can be encouraging and discouraging at the same time, especially when we think about people like Bill Gates or Oprah Winfrey and what they've done with their time compared to what we've been able to do so far.
Listen to hear my thoughts on how to focus our finite time to achieve what we want while still making room for non-productive things we enjoy doing.
Be sure to listen to the end, where I announce an in-person workshop I'm holding later this month. It would be a great way to "clear the deck" to achieve what you really want to achieve in 2024. Or visit raefgranger.com/masterclassprime!
