Structuring Your Calendar for Maximum Productivity

Make Space For More

As the leader of your company, you should control your calendar - not the other way around! In this episode, Melissa Swink discusses the first step of the “Make Space for More” framework, which is redesigning your role as the CEO of your company. She emphasizes the importance of dividing your time between working IN your business and working ON your business. Melissa guides listeners through three steps to redesign their role: identifying personal non-negotiables, sorting and prioritizing tasks, and structuring their calendars with these priorities in mind. This is a must-listen episode for any entrepreneur who feels overwhelmed and wants to gain control of their time!

Key Highlights:

• Redesigning your role as CEO is crucial for business growth and scalability.
• Identify your personal non-negotiables to set boundaries and prioritize self-care.
• Sort and prioritize tasks into categories: generates new business soon, generates new business eventually, business management, and other miscellaneous tasks.
• Structure your calendar with your highest priority tasks in mind, then designate times for email and meetings, and leave open space for miscellaneous work time.
