Time management tip: Assign themes to each day of the week
When your profession requires you to work across divisions or contribute to many different operations, switching gears can be the most time-consuming part of your day. It's hard to jump between assignments, trading a marketing hat for a sales hat—and then fumbling to grab your marketing hat again. That's why Laura Hertz, CEO of Gifts for Good, suggests assigning a theme to each day of the week. "Theming" our days "helps us become much more efficient because we are grouping similar tasks together," and "it establishes a rhythm of attention and focus," says Hertz. Plus, this time management tip completely eliminates the long, wasteful minutes that you would otherwise spend shifting your focus between departments.
To theme your days, all you have to do is "pick a handful of categories that are recurring for you, and that, together, create your business," instructs Hertz. "Then, you create a schedule around your categories, so each day has a theme and each chunk of time is dedicated to a specific task related to that day's theme." For example, Mondays might be dedicated to marketing, Tuesdays to administrative tasks, Wednesdays to meetings, and so on. "Theming" your days is a quick, easy, and organized way to improve your time management and efficiency.
