You’ve had a great summer and now you’re wondering how you’re going to get your time and productivity back on track this September.
With 97 days and counting off the “speaking” road, our summer on Vancouver Island has been wonderful for Laura and me and included; art shows, concerts, hiking, kayaking, home upgrades, running and walking Shadow, visiting friends and yoga.
Since June 1, I have also dedicated 18 solid days to creating a brand new online course that we will launch in December. There comes a time in everyone’s business life where they must create the time to refine what was done before. Read further for my 25 online course tasks/to-dos.
With the Gray rainy days of the fall approaching, combined with a very busy coaching, speaking and online course writing schedule, here’s what I did to Illuminate My Time & Productivity.
- Created a Time Management Schedule Template
- Colored in days for the following;
- Green – free, holiday – time off
- Blue – buffer – time to work on the business versus in the business with clients and prospects
- Red – clients and prospects
- Orange – travel and writing
- White – exhibiting and speaking
- Yellow – filming and writing
- Illuminated my travel, filming and writing days to enable us to launch a brand new online coaching course in December
Why?
In the absence of Illumination there is only Gray and you have to kick at the darkness of your Time Management System until it bleeds daylight.
In the absence of Illumination I can have a tendency to skip from one task/to-do to the next and not dedicate the time to drill down deep into the successful completion of a new project. With a very busy coaching, speaking and online course writing schedule, it would be very easy for my mind to skip along the surface of the task/to-do list unless I Illuminate and go deep. This is especially true in respect to focusing my upcoming 12 days of travel time on the online course writing.
Here are all the online course tasks/to-dos that I’ve been working on since March to Launch in December.
