The Beautiful Mess

SPONSOR: Free 1 Page Planning System with the Finisher Secrets Newsletter: https://finishersecrets.com/tbmshow Welcome to the TBM Show! In this episode, I am going to share a game-changing technique that will help you plan and prioritize your week in just 5 minutes or less. It's called the ABC method, and it's what successful entrepreneurs and coaches use to maximize their productivity. But before we dive into the ABC method, I want to talk about the importance of doing a time audit. By tracking how you spend your time, you can identify where your energy is being wasted and where you can make improvements. Trust me, this simple exercise can provide immense clarity and help you eliminate unnecessary tasks. Once you've completed your time audit for a couple of weeks, it's time to move on to the ABC method. Think of your tasks as A, B, or C. A tasks are the most important ones that align with your goals. Neglecting these tasks can have significant consequences. B tasks are secondary but still important, while C tasks can be done if you have extra time and energy. To implement the ABC method effectively, I recommend making a list of your tasks and assigning priorities using the ABC categories. Next, try time blocking. This productivity hack involves scheduling specific tasks in dedicated time slots on your calendar. By incorporating time blocks into your schedule, you ensure that nothing falls through the cracks. Remember, by understanding the big picture and allocating time efficiently, you can accomplish more and make the most out of your week. So give the ABC method a try and watch your productivity soar.
