The Ambitious Introvert® Podcast Episode 115: Taking Back Your Time with Reese Spykerman
How many ‘must-use’ productivity hacks have you tried? And how many have worked?
If you’re anything like me, you will have worked through A LOT of different time management strategies. And if you’re in the ‘why doesn’t this work for me?’ stage, this week’s episode of The Ambitious Introvert® Podcast is a must listen. I spoke to Reese Spykerman about taking back your time, and there are some incredible takeaways that I know will help you get more done in a way that feels good to you.
Building a schedule that manages our energy is key to doing the repetitive tasks in our business - and we know that consistency is the key to success.
In this episode we talk about:
- Why creating boundaries around our energy is the key to preserving it
- How to design something that works with you - not a method that you’ve been told works
- Why there’s nothing wrong with optimising and tweaking until a system is right for you
- Reese’s secret to schedule batching and how it compares to the task-based systems most people use
- Why task-switching drains most people's brains, and how batching helps you remain in a state of flow
- How to assign "themes" to days of the week to help you feel grounded and scale more sanely in your business
- A breakdown of her energetic assessment method to counteract what drains you and prioritise what lights you up (made by an introvert, FOR introverts!)
