Megan Sumrell is a former corporate techie turned entrepreneur. As a business owner, mom, and wife, she knows exactly how hard it is to juggle #allthethings while still maintaining your own sense of self and purpose. When her daughter was born in 2010, life as she knew it completely changed. After struggling to manage work, motherhood, family, etc, Megan set about a new way to manage her time and organize her calendar. She took her 20+ year career in systems and processes and applied it to one of her favorite things…time management!

She is the creator of the TOP Program and TOP Planner, a program and planner that teaches her proprietary system and processes regarding time management, organization and productivity.

TAKEAWAYS:

• Work backwards when you’re planning. Start with your week, then monthly, quarterly and annual. It’s important to get your day-to-day routine organized before moving onto the big things.
• Have systems and repetitive routines set up. This will help with your time management and making sure things that are rinse and repeat get done while also getting new and future projects accomplished.
• Automate your systems. This especially helps when you need someone to fill in a job. Megan has created Loom videos attached to tasks so that when someone is unable to complete a task, someone else from the team can step in and get it done so they don’t get behind.
• Create a business where your revenue isn’t dependent on you constantly showing up. Megan has a goal to keep decreasing her work days and hours so that she can show up in her life the way she wants. This takes a lot of planning and organizing and teamwork to set up a business that creates revenue through funnels and automation versus always having to do live launches.
