Ever wondered how successful entrepreneurs structure their workdays while juggling family responsibilities? Step into my world as I pull back the curtain on my daily routine and share the productivity system that keeps my business thriving alongside raising teenagers.
At the heart of my productivity strategy is a commitment to batching—dedicating entire days to similar types of work rather than constantly switching between tasks. Thursdays are exclusively for coaching, with my Insiders program, one-on-one clients, and mastermind sessions all scheduled on the same day. This approach keeps my teaching mindset engaged without requiring mental shifts to creative or analytical work. Other days are dedicated solely to content creation, keyword research, and writing, allowing me to harness the natural rhythm of my brain and energy levels.
During the school year, my workday typically begins with an early workout before tackling the morning routine of waking teenagers (no small feat!) and school drop-offs. After walking the dogs and showering, I'm at my desk between 9-10am, working steadily until about 2:30pm with just a brief lunch break. Summer brings a different rhythm altogether, requiring strategic planning and advance content creation. I'm currently working to record eight podcast episodes in the next two weeks to cover the summer months—allowing me to be present with my family while maintaining consistent business output. This balance between entrepreneurship and motherhood isn't always perfect, but my batching system provides the structure needed to succeed in both roles without "throwing someone out a window" (as I joke about my teenagers).
Curious how this approach might transform your productivity? Try dedicating entire days to similar tasks and notice how your focus and output improve. And if you're interested in my content creation system, check out my previous episode about creating three pieces of content from a single recording session!
