If you're an online entrepreneur, service professional, coach or consultant looking to grow your business with less stress and without letting it take over your life, you already know you need to get a handle on how you spend your time.

You already know that getting a handle on your time -- both inside and out of your business -- would mean you could more effectively drive profits, serve clients and be present when you finally get that downtime.

You also already know you need an easy-to-implement, easy-to-maintain system to manage your time. And not just your business-related time, but you're whole life - personal, family, hobbies, all of it - in one simple place. You don't have time to check three to-do lists, 15 sticky notes, your calendar and your 5 notebooks to figure out what to do next. In fact, you'd like to throw out your to-do lists all together.

You don't want a to-do list. You want a game plan. For all of it.

Reason 1

You think there's something wrong with you & this is just how it is for you

"I'm just bad at this." "What's wrong with me?" "I'm hopeless." 

I've heard all these things from my clients. 

We tend to beat ourselves up when we struggle with managing our time. A struggle to manage time has such a widespread effect on our life that it feels like we can’t manage our lives, relationships, or businesses -- so there must be something wrong with us.

But when did someone teach you how to do this? Never! The only time someone MAY have introduced you to a calendar was in elementary school when your life looked TOTALLY different and you had just a few less responsibilities, right?

There's nothing wrong with you. You just need someone to show you, step-by-step, how to create a simple, flexible and personalize-able system that works for you. And you can totally learn this. And then that new time management approach - this time with "Holy cow - I'm really on top of all of it" feeling at its core - can have that widespread affect on the rest of your life, too.

Reason 2

You've tried it all before, and it didn’t work

You've read books and listened to podcasts on productivity and time management. They preached concepts like "batching," "time-blocking," and "planning." The concepts made sense, but when you sat down to try to apply them to your life, it got clunky and awkward fast. What exactly are you supposed to time-block? What do I batch and how? And what exactly do I do during those planning sessions? And, now that I've started, won't time-blocking make my calendar a cluttered mess??

Most productivity stuff talks in very high-level concepts. And while those concepts aren't difficult to implement once you get the hang of them, it's harder than it seems when you start off.

And it's hard to implement some if they're not part of a larger system. For example, time-blocking is great, but what if I skip something by accident -- now, it'll slip through the cracks! No - not if you have a broader system that tells you exactly when once a week to scan your tasks and find a new time for them.

You just need a step-by-step guide to set up a system that applies these concepts to YOUR life and makes them work together to serve you.

Reason 3

It never lasts

Perhaps you've found a system that works super well … for about a month. And then you leave it behind.

Many productivity platforms out there are time-consuming and complicated to maintain. Some apps require use of a dozen tags. Or you have to prioritize every task as it comes in. Others have hard copy planners they want you to use - and answer questions every morning and night when you'd really rather be working. And slowly, these things that were once interesting lose their luster and they're just… time-consuming. So you stop.

That doesn't mean time management systems don't work. It just means maybe we should stay away from gimmicky, complicated apps and software promising to turn us into productive machines.

Instead, let's find a simple time management system with built-in maintenance windows that happen once a week (not every time you use it). Maybe they'll be less sexy, but they'll last longer and serve you better. We're about function over here, ladies.
