How She Does It

BONUS: Take Back Your Time With Google’s Productivity Expert


Listen Later

Women often have a blur of busy days — especially this time of year - going from meetings and important phone calls to the grocery store or soccer practice. It often feels like the day goes by in the blink of an eye. This, of course, leaves many of us feeling drained at the end of the day, or inspired to push off our most important tasks to next week — or we forget about them completely. 

So how can we better juggle our busy work days, the challenges of raising a family, and all of the other tasks in between, while still making time for fun?  We’re sharing one of our favorite episodes from season 1 to help you do just that, because Laura Mae Martin has cracked the code. She’s an Executive Productivity Advisor at Google and she coaches Google’s top executives on time management and efficiency. 

She offers her take on how to cut out time-suck meetings once and for all, and why discovering our “power hours” does wonders for our creativity and productivity. 


💬 In this episode:


* Manage your email inbox like doing laundry - sort, prioritize, and focus on one task at a time.

* Use the list funnel method to organize tasks and prioritize based on timeframes.

* Limit and optimize meetings by setting agendas, evaluating their necessity, and providing feedback.

* Identify your power hours and schedule important tasks during those times for maximum productivity. 

* Minimize multitasking and manage email effectively to improve productivity.
