Having looked at your daily routine in the last post, let’s broaden out the focus a little so you can see your ‘week in review.’ This will help ensure you have a good balance of different things in the mix and still have space for those activities that don’t happen daily…
Start by brain dumping any tasks that happen weekly, rather than each day
Here are some ideas to help get you going, but please personalise this to your business:
Schedule posts on socials / reminders on emails
Weekly reviews: financial / marketing etc.
One off’s e.g. networking events / team meetings
Setting timings for each day
Do you have the same work hours for each day or will it look different depending on what you have on? Set your hours for each day you work, so you can figure out when you’ll complete each task.
Other than work, what are the important things you want to build into each week?
Please personalise these suggestions and allocate a time in the week for each one…
Exercise / movement / going for walks
Life admin time: cooking / cleaning / laundry
Social time with friends and family
Hobbies and activities you enjoy
Down time to read / watch TV
Start and end of the week processes
How would you like your week to begin? Here’s a few suggestions…
Set your business goals for the week ahead
Prioritise tasks and assign them a time / person
Reflect on the last week: what went well and what can be improved?
How would you like your week to end? Here’s a few suggestions…
Reallocate time to any tasks that have yet to be completed
Celebrate your business wins / gratitude journaling
Make sure you mark a clear transition into the weekend
Keep your weekly plan somewhere you can see it, to help with your workflow and to make sure you have time for proper breaks.
