1. If you don’t have a plan, your calendar will control you.

One of the biggest mistakes is just doing whatever comes your way instead of having exact times when you will do certain things in your
week. Discipline and planning are required if you want to achieve your career goals. This is why I have a weekly review session where I
review what I am doing each day of the next week and everything is scheduled into my calendar.

2. Have boundaries for social media, family time and personal time.

I find that most of my clients are not alone enough enjoying life and being present. I know I have been guilty of not taking a break from the
internet and always being tied to my phone. Now I carefully guard my Sundays for family time and try my hardest as well to have times
when we turn off computers as a family and don’t talk about work “(which is not that easy when you and your husband work together!!:)
It’s so important to realize what your priorities are and to guard that time as much as possible.

3. Categorize your time into focus time, administrative time and sacred time.

Write down all the tasks you do at work and then circle the tasks that really are going to get you promoted, give you raises, or make you
HAPPY at work if you are an employee or income producing activities like sales calls and partnership conversations if you are an
entrepreneur. That is for focus time blocks on your calendar. Try to make entire days of this focus work if possible.

Then set aside time for administrative stuff, which are items you just have to do whether you like them or not but they don’t necessarily
focus on the results of your job or business and don’t always lead to quick successes.

Finally, sacred time needs to have a spot on your calendar for personal time, hobbies and family, etc. Planning sacred things into your
schedule will make you more effective in your career.

4. Batch as if your life depends on it.

Batching is when you group similar tasks into blocks of time. During this time you have no distractions. Did you know that every time
you are distracted, it takes 15 minutes to regain complete focus again? Examples are only looking at emails or social media at certain
times of the day. Setting a timer, shutting off distractions and only working on your dream business or job searching efforts. I also
recommend batching errands, meal planning, meetings, laundry or personal appointments.

5. You are in charge of your calendar, your calendar doesn’t control you.

If you haven’t read The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks yet, I highly recommend it.

What Gay Hendricks says in this book is this idea behind Einstein time. This is where you are in charge of your time. You are where time
comes from. You can make as much of it as you want. I want you to shift your thinking to this Einstein time, where you experience a
major surge in your productivity, creativity and enjoyment. This shift takes place the moment you embrace one profoundly simple truth
and that is you are where time comes from.

So say to yourself right now, “I acknowledge that I am the source of my time.” And your stress will disappear the moment you accept
that and you really claim ownership of it.

6. Discipline is required if you want to achieve your career goals.

I have to continually remind myself of this when I want to sleep in or go to bed during a big time in my career or business. This is what will
separate you from the rest. It doesn’t require that much time it’s just some time and that is where your discipline comes into play.

7. Practice the Pareto.

The Pareto Principle states that 20% of your input creates 80% of your results. Focus on the 20% that will get you the results you
want. That means you must really focus on what is working when launching your dream career or business. You need to focus on the 20%
of what is going to make the difference to save time and get faster results. 80% of what you are doing right now could be a waste of time.

Here are some examples….

80% of job leads are found through networking.

The top 20% of your resume is the most important section.

The first 1-2 minutes of your interviews are the most important.

If you are an entrepreneur, figure out which 20% of your time produces 80% of your business’ results, then you can spend more
time on those activities and less time on others.

Identifying the characteristics of the top 20% of your customers (who represent 80% of your sales). Then, you can find
more customers like them and grow your sales and profits.
