E147: Get Through Your To-Do List – Including Your Online Course!

Julie’s friend asked her, “How do you get so much done?” And today’s episode explains her secrets to getting more done than most other people!

LINKS MENTIONED

Here are some of the things I use to get more done:   

1. I am a fanatic about my calendar and blocking time, plus getting reminders.   

2. My time was much easier to manage now that my kids have flown the nest!   

3. I set up regular Routines – and rework them regularly.   

4. I know what I need to help focus – sometimes it’s my focus music, and sometimes it’s caffeine!  

5. I set a lot of deadlines!  

6. I know my main projects (or goals) for each week and each month – long-term vs. short-term content, new courses, partners, marketing focus, etc.  

7. I type fast – keyboard that works with both my computer and my phone –

8. I read fast. 

9. I try to organize my files – so I’m not wasting time hunting for things. 

10. I try to eliminate time-consuming chores (getting groceries, mowing the lawn). 

11. I often do things when I don’t feel like it or I’m not motivated! 

BONUS TIP  – I try to recognize when I need a break.
