Founder's Work Schedule

Checking in to let you know how my first week of my new scheduling went.

What inspired this? A kid I went to high school with is a successful entrepreneur and sent out his daily schedule.

Key takeaways I took away: 

1. Get up at the same time each day

2. Structure your day to get your core work done in the first few hours.

→ Leave meetings, emails, socials, content creation, etc. for later in the day.

I had already been getting up at 6am, but realized my morning routine was taking a good chunk of time.

So, I bumped waking up to 5:30am and then was able to start working at 7am.

This made a huge difference.

By 2-3pm when I was headed for an afternoon workout, I already had completed the majority of my workday.

Anything additional afterwards would be “extra” work to push my business forward.

Morning Clothes vs. Daytime Clothes: A new element I also tested.

→ Getting up at 5:30am is much easier when I can put on comfy clothes.

Top half is in my daytime clothes, but the bottom half are in sweats and Crocs—comfy clothes.

Then, by mid morning I change the bottom half to daytime clothes.

It’s a small change, but has helped quite a bit.

What can you pick up from this?

• Get up at the same time each day. Your body learns fast, and you won’t need to rely on an alarm which makes for a smoother morning.

• Prioritize your core work, or most important things, to be accomplished first thing in your day.

• Create a handwritten daily schedule/to-do list you can cross items off of. A huge help to boost productivity and get more done.

  • Emphasis on handwritten. Digital lists are not the same.

Audyx Beta: We are in full swing of testing this! Testers have until Thursday, May 29th to complete the survey.

And with that, I hope you have a great Memorial Day Weekend ahead of you!
