Make Your Monday’s Suck Less 🙂
If you are opening this at the time it goes out (10:50 AM CT), it means I haven’t had a meeting yet this morning.
And I haven’t had a single one all of 2024 before 11 AM CT.
I block my my calendar every Monday from 8-11 AM CT with an event that says “Do Not Book.”
Does that mean I’m not working during that time? Sleeping in?
It’s actually my most productive time.
Reasons why I do it:
-Meeting no shows are super high first thing Mondays
– Lowers my anxiety on Sunday not worrying about an early meeting
-Sets my week up for success having a deep time to strategize
What I do during that time:
-Review my calendar for the week
-Make a master to-do list for that day
-Update everything CRM related
-Do meeting preps in bulk
-Review my customer list and usage
-Schedule this newsletter 🙂
If you work for a trusting company, don’t be afraid to own your schedule.
The 37 other hours in the week I keep open, are plenty enough.
Only you know when you work best.
Bonus: I started doing this with late Friday afternoons too. I’ll allow myself to book over it for any important meetings, but don’t need a 4 PM 1st discovery call.
