In this episode, Samantha and Jessica dive into the elusive art of time management. Balancing the demands of a photography business with the responsibilities of motherhood can be overwhelming, but the team is here to experiment with some practical strategies to boost productivity and maintain mental clarity.
Join us as we explore three key techniques: the Eisenhower Matrix for prioritizing tasks, time blocking paired with the Pomodoro Technique for focused work sessions, and incorporating mindfulness practices to enhance daily productivity. We'll share our personal experiences with these methods, discuss the challenges of sticking to a schedule, and reveal how effective these strategies are in managing our busy lives. Make sure you scroll to the bottom of our show notes for an example of our time blocking schedule!
