How Learning To ADD Has Changed My Life | BE Moment

Jul 22, 2019

Nearly everyone I know, whether business owner or employee, has some amount of overwhelm they are dealing with. I hear people constantly saying they don’t have time, they have too much going on, or that there aren’t enough hours in the day. It’s a complaint I said for years.

 

I often have people ask me how I get so much done. How I’m a present parent with two littles 3 and under, run multiple profitable businesses working less than full time, travel, am building a house, podcasting, writing a book and still have time for fun and some spontaneity ….And yes, I do sleep, ideally 6-7 hours per night.

 

While I’m always improving and tweaking my processes, it’s because I’ve spent the past 20 years OBSESSED with time management and productivity coupled with not just building, but really LIVING, a life I’m obsessed with.

 

Here is one of my FAVORITE ways to own your time. ADD - Add, delete, delegate.

 

Delete (or eliminate): Be picky with what you waste your time on. Wasted time is worse than wasted money. This isn’t a contest in productivity. And it doesn’t mean deleting something to create room for something else (unless that’s what you want to do).

 

• Everything you say yes to is saying no to something else.
• Rank your tasks. What’s at the bottom in priority? Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.
• Say No (but being honest).
• Emails
  • me - just say no to emails
  • com
  • Stop letting email run your life. Set expectations.
• Social Media/Notifications
  • Delete the apps you haven’t used in 30 days.

 

Automate:

• Personal Life: What can you order by subscription? Food, cleaning supplies, consumables?
• Work Life
  • Create Systems + Checklists
  • Utilize a Virtual Assistant
  • Network Marketing!!! It’s all done for you!

 

Delegate:  Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.

• Housework: Write down a list of everything you would love to have someone else do for you.

 

• Work Life: VA, Podcast Producer, Web Designer, Payroll, Accountant
  • What is your time worth per hour? If you’re doing anything that costs less than you’re time, why are you doing it?
