In this episode of Earning by Design, I dive into the essential yet often overlooked topic of time management. As designers and business owners, we wear many hats, from creating stunning visuals to managing outreach, sales, and administrative tasks. Without effective time management, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and lose track of our goals.

Join me as I share practical strategies and personal insights on how to master your time, avoid burnout, and keep your creative business running smoothly.

Key Points:

  • Understanding Time Management: Why it's crucial for designers and business owners to manage their time effectively.
  • Goal Setting: How to break down annual goals into manageable quarterly, monthly, weekly, and daily tasks.
  • Time Blocking: The benefits of dedicating specific chunks of time to individual tasks to boost productivity.
  • Balancing Act: Finding the sweet spot between high ambitions and realistic, achievable goals to avoid burnout.
  • Streamlining Processes: Tips on setting up efficient workflows and using tools like Dubsado for invoicing and project management.
  • Minimizing Distractions: Techniques to stay focused and undistracted during work hours, even when working from home.
  • Useful Resources: Book recommendations to further enhance your time management skills.
