Plan way (way, way) less to get more done.

Here’s three reasons (of many) why it works so well:

1. You give your brain a focal point. When you don’t have a focal point, your brain gets overwhelmed. And when you’re overwhelmed, you’re not gonna anything that resembles being productive.

2. Space! In your life and in your brain. You need space to think. When you have mental space to think and things don’t feel urgent, you make better, smarter decisions. 2b. You need space for REAL life. Way more space than you think. Real life doesn’t give a shit about your time blocks.

3. When you have one focus you can be fully present and fully focus on the ONE thing you’re getting done. When you do this you’ll end up making substantial progress - far more then when you’re scattered all over the place frantically trying to get 37 things done.

Plan one thing/day and watch how much more you get done.

Not sure how to know which one thing to pick? Come work with me.

Time management coaching is 6 months of 1:1 sessions for you to learn how to feel calm so you can prioritize well which will allow you to consistently get the most important things done.

There are wayyyyyy better ways to manage your time, my friend🥂

You don’t need those rules and time blocks to be successful. In fact, the rules and rigidity ARE the very things preventing you from being as successful as you want to be 🤯

Here’s how we know: when was the last time you created something AMAZING when you were in an uptight, I-need-to-do-it-right & I-need-to-hurry-up-and-do-it-now headspace? Nevahhh.

Having fun & feeling relaxed opens you up to more creative, inspired, brilliant ideas which in turn, INCREASES the value and the quality of the work you produce.

Come to the dark side 🙃🤸- really - the FLEXIBLE side of running a business. We have fun over here, we get the most important sh*t done, and we make it look easyyyy 💅🏼

If feeling frantic would actually help you get more done, I’d say keep on, keepin on

But it doesn’t. It keeps you spinning your wheels and getting no where so you gotta chill & do this instead:

1. Prioritize that bad boy - everything can’t be important (see original point about feeling frantic) EVEN IF IT ALL WAS IMPORTANT you will not be your most productive self when you’re overwhelmed, you’re your least productive self.

2. Scrutinize that list 🧐 Do you REALLY need to go to that meeting today? Do you REALLY need to go shopping for those light fixtures?? Do you REALLY need to clean up the 49,817 photos on your phone?

➡️ What hard work do you get to avoid by keeping yourself busy??

3. What’s your goal? & what will move the needle towards that goal TODAY? That’s your filter.

Chill out, ask yourself the tough questions, get honest with yourself and then get intentional with your time 🫡

Tired of doing donuts in the busyland parking lot? Ready to make some REAL progress? Sweet. Book a consult & let’s see about working together - that link is in my bio. See ya there 🥂 by @gretta.scholten

Less is more when it comes to time management

Knowing what the MOST important things are keeps you focused.

So this means you can stop worrying about getting everything done because you know you’re moving the needle on the things that matter by @gretta.scholten

an ode to my remarkable tablet and my planners. I love you all equally and will use you sporadically by @gretta.scholten

It’s not that you can’t do all these things but trying to start all of them at once when you’ve been doing none of these things is setting yourself up for failure & disappointment.

Pick the one habit to start to be consistent with, make it easy, and doable and get to work building your consistency muscle!

I have a specific formula I teach to my clients to help them do just that - schedule a consult to learn more & see if time management coaching is a good fit for you. by @gretta.scholten

Time blocking (and alllllll of the rules - spoken and unspoken 🙃🙃) that go along with it creates a shit ton of unnecessary drama - ESPECIALLY FOR PERFECTIONISTS.

“I’m doing this wrong.”
“Ugh, I’m off-track - again.”
“Why can’t I figure this out?”

There is an easier way. You can still be wildly productive without time blocking.

I’d love to show you how. Schedule a consult if you know the way you’re managing your time now isn’t working 🤍 link in bio by @gretta.scholten

What if there was a way for you to know when you’ve done enough?

“Enough” is a decision you make intentionally and it doesn’t actually matter what you did or didn’t do in a day 🤯

You don’t need to earn rest, downtime or ending work on time. There is no measurement for enough-ness.

In fact! When you tell yourself that you didn’t do enough, you actually feel worse and you get less done. Womp womp. Not the goal, right?

Feeling satisfied & productive is ONE decision away.

Join me in my new time management program to learn how to do just that 🤍 the link is in my bio @gretta_timecoach by @gretta.scholten
