How to Design Your Day – Time Management for Women Entrepreneurs

When you don’t have a routine, life just sort of happens to you.

The day either gets wasted as you try to decide what to do, or you find yourself tangled up in the wants and needs of everybody else.

“One of the most important crucial steps of your journey is your routine.” -Ray Higdon

The beauty of designing a set routine is that it forces us to prioritize and decide what is important to us.

 

Recently, I was inspired by Ray Higdon’s new book Vibrational Money Immersion Think and Grow Rich for Network Marketers.  I’m only 60 pages in and I feel like FINALLY! I have a strategy to get unstuck and accomplish all of my goals.

If you are tired of postponing your prosperity, then it’s time to

DESIGN YOUR DAY.

  1.   Determine what time you are going to wake up.  Every day. Day in and Day Out.  (including weekends)

2.  Design a “Morning Routine” by writing down every activity that you are going to do before you “go to work” (i.e., Meditate, Read, Journal, Exercise, etc.)

On a side note:  The benefits of Daily Exercise:  controls weight, combats health conditions and diseases, improves mood, boosts energy and promotes better sleep.

3.  Write down at least THREE income producing activities that you will do every day, day in and day out. (i.e.; write a blog post, shoot a video, do a podcast, post on social media, email 25 prospects, etc.)

4.  Fill the middle of your day with your appointments, commitments, networking meetings, presentations, etc. (5 Ways to STAND OUT and be OUTSTANDING at NetworkingFREE ebook)

5.  Have a closing time for your work day so you don’t feel like you’re working all the time.

6.  Design a “Bed time Routine” as well.  Do the same thing, every day, day in and day out.

Successful people accomplish their goals by doing the same things over and over again.

 

Internationally recognized expert in time management methods and goal setting techniques, Rita Davenport, said:  “You have a purpose or else you wouldn’t be alive today!

For I know the plans I have for you“, declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” -Jeremiah 29:11

 

Are you still with me?  

I believe God has an individual plan for each person.  Through personal development we can access our skills and qualities, discover our purpose in life and set goals in order to realize and maximize our potential.

This ‘Design Your Day’ technique is just one of the basic principles of The Lipstick Method (a transformation program for women entrepreneurs).

How To Avoid Autopilot And Live A Fascinating Life – Struggles of a Solopreneur

Are you selling yourself short and living your life on autopilot?

Every day we choose how we live our lives, whether we’re conscious of it or not.  And choosing to live a fascinating life doesn’t have to be complicated.

The secret of your success is found in your daily routine.

John Maxwell said, you will never change your life until you change something you do daily.

Have control of how your day starts and ends.  Have a routine for both.

RISE & SHINE and SWEET DREAMS

Start with your goals in mind and design your behaviors and routines accordingly.

RISE & SHINE

I was inspired by The Miracle Morning and my morning routine starts at 6 am.  It includes the six principles stated in the book. (S.A.V.E.R.S.)

Silence(meditation), Affirmations, Visualization(vision board), Exercise, Reading and Scribing (writing in journal).

I recommend you create a routine that is styled unique to you.

SWEET DREAMS

I was inspired by The Compound Effect and my evening routine consists of reading at least ten pages of an inspiration book before going to sleep.  Evidently, the mind continues to process the last information consumed before bedtime, so I want to focus my attention on something constructive and helpful in making progress with my goals and ambitions.

Every so often interrupt your routines.  Otherwise, life gets stale and autopilot takes over.  Look at your routines.  If something that used to energize you has become same-old/same-old, or is no longer generating powerful results, switch it up.

It’s difficult to predict what will show up in the middle of your workday, but you can always control how your day starts and ends.

*For solopreneurs, having a starting and ending time for your business day will give you greater life balance, help with focus, and allow for personal time, so you don’t feel like you are working all the time.

GET UP! DRESS UP! SHOW UP! and NEVER GIVE UP!
