“I look at time blocking like I look at budgeting. Every minute is assigned to a task just like every dollar is assigned to something.” Tara Titsworth

As busy humans in our daily lives and at work, we can easily get into the flow of our day without even planning out how we are going to get all of our tasks done. From making dinner to getting your inbox to zero, there are so many other tasks we have to get done throughout our day. Tara Titsworth sat down with us to talk all about how to hire a VA or simply just time block our day for high efficiency! 

Sometimes, we get incredibly busy and think we just need to hire another employee (or just someone if you’re riding solo!), and oftentimes, we can hire a VA or get super intentional with our time instead of going through the hiring process, paying payroll taxes, and taking on training a new hire! Between software, tools, and this podcast episode, we know that you can take your overwhelm to efficiency without the stress of hiring someone new. 

The organization is the number one way you can keep your efficiency and productivity at the highest level throughout your day. Here are the top ways to do that daily:

1 – Plan out your next day the day before

2 – Define your top 3 biggest deals to do for the day

3 – Budget your time and assign every minute of your working day to start or complete a task

Tara talks specifically about planning out your next day the night before (or really anytime the day before). Why? Well, if you do it on the morning or day of, you are likely going to just get into your day with no plan of what you’re doing. Then it just keeps going and you end your day not doing nearly everything you may have planned on. If you schedule out some time the day before, it gives you the opportunity to think clearly about what it is you need to get done and want to get done. 

In the Rachel Hollis Priority Planner, you have the unique opportunity to write down your top big deals of the day. This means the top things you have to get done, you make time for them and then plan out your other tasks around those! 

And finally, if you budget your time around the hours you have to get your tasks done, you are likely less distracted and more efficient with all the tasks to get done instead of aimlessly just doing tasks to keep yourself busy.
