Time Management for Amazon Sellers
In this episode we discuss time management for Amazon sellers.
Since both of us are self-described self help junkies we've read a thing or two about eating the frog and managing our time.
A lot of it hasn't stuck and we are, admittedly, not the best with time management so this may have been as much a therapy episode as a helpful episode.
We dive into topics like why so many people are bad at time management, how to get a handle on it, how to be honest with yourself about time management, and even some techniques you can take away to use for yourself.
Let us know what pain points you have in your Amazon business and we will follow this up with another episode diving deeper.

Amazon FBA Price Tanking | Pandemic or Opportunity?
What is price tanking on Amazon?
Is it an endemic problem or is there opportunity to be had?
Do we blame lead lists, newbie sellers, Amazon, or is there an unseen hand of the market that moves prices?
If we know certain rules of economics can we predict what may happen in the future to prices based off of historical data?
We answer all these questions and more in this week's episode of The Clear the Shelf Podcast with Chris & Chris.
