I know that we’re all struggling just to get to everything that needs to be completed each day, and given that I have a number of people wondering how I ‘get so much done’, today I will be sharing my work flow with you all. Believe me, no one knows better than me that no one can do it all, but hopefully some of the habits I have acquired and lessons I have learned over the years will resonate with you today.
I’ll share with you how not overscheduling, figuring out areas of weakness and addressing them, and becoming aware of your monthly energy flow can all have positive impacts. We’ll also explore my monthly, weekly, and daily routines, and look at the importance of rest, wise time investments, and digital uncluttering. Like I said, I know I can’t do it all, and I don’t claim to be able to, but what I can do is share with you some of the steps I take to help ensure that all the most important aspects of my life and my work are addressed as fully and effectively as possible.
 
The Finer Details of This Episode:
· We don’t overschedule
· Figure out your vulnerabilities and address them
· My time of greatest creative energy is the two weeks following the start of menstruation each month
· On Sundays I limit communications and totally rest
· My day off starts at 5:31 p.m. each Saturday
· On Mondays I am recharged and full of energy again
· I get up at 3:30-4:30 a.m. for a run and to start work
· I do the hard thing first each day in the dark
· I take 15-20 minute power naps to recharge
· Make wise time investments
· Digital uncluttering is key – only touch everything once
