“𝑩𝒖𝒔𝒚” 𝒅𝒐𝒆𝒔𝒏’𝒕 𝒎𝒆𝒂𝒏 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒅𝒖𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆. 𝑳𝒆𝒕’𝒔 𝒇𝒊𝒙 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕. Ever had a day when you were “busy” from dawn to dusk, yet you couldn’t point to a meaningful thing you’d achieved by nightfall? This isn’t just you. It’s the 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐲 𝐁𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐰𝐚𝐠𝐨𝐧 at work. We’re caught in a culture where busyness feels like success but often leads to burnout. Pair that with endless scrolling on social media (what the authors call “Infinity Pools”), and it’s no wonder we feel like time is slipping away. What if I told you there’s a way to take back control? In Make Time, Jake Knapp and John Zeratsky offer a 𝟒-𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝐝𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 that shifts you from reacting to the world to intentionally designing your day: - 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭: Choose one meaningful task to be your focus. Just one. ✨ - 𝐋𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐫: Limit distractions. (Pro tip: Turn off notifications. Yes, all of them.) 🚫📱 - 𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐳𝐞: Boost your energy with small changes; move your body, eat better and rest well. ⚡💤 - 𝐑𝐞𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭: At the end of the day, ask yourself: What worked? What didn’t? How can I do better tomorrow? 🔄 It’s not about being perfect. It’s about being intentional. Imagine finishing your day feeling fulfilled, because you made time for what mattered. Now tell me, what’s the one thing you’d make time for today if you could? Drop it in the comments, I’d love to know! #49daysVALinkedInBootcampWithTMA #Day11ofVALinkedInBootcamp #LinkedInForCreators #BookReview #IntentionalLiving

Ever felt like you’re diving into your day without a clear direction? What if there’s a simple habit that could supercharge your mornings and boost productivity from the get-go? Hey LinkedIn family, 🤔 Imagine waking up each morning with a strategic plan in place, knowing exactly which tasks to tackle and how to prioritize them. This small tweak can turn morning chaos into clarity and set the stage for a successful day ahead. 👉 Here's how to get started with an effective morning routine: 1. Spend just 10-15 minutes each morning (or the night before) planning your day. This small investment in time pays off big in productivity gains. 2. List everything you need to accomplish and rank them by importance and deadlines. Focus on tasks that align with your goals. 3. Avoid overloading your schedule. Be honest about what you can realistically achieve to maintain motivation and avoid burnout. 4. Use digital tools such as productivity apps, digital calendars, or to-do lists that match your preferences, to ensure your plan remains well-organized and easily accessible. 5. Life is unpredictable, therefore build flexibility into your plan to handle unexpected tasks or changes smoothly. 📌Benefits📌 Starting your day with a clear plan not only enhances productivity but also reduces stress and boosts focus throughout the day. Give it a try and watch how it transforms your daily routine! Stay organized and make today count!

But then... -You hit snooze (again). -You’re checking emails in bed. -And your coffee is cold before you’ve even had a chance to drink it. I’ve been there. I used to start my days feeling guilty and overwhelmed, watching time slip through my fingers. Then, I stumbled upon Atomic Habits by James Clear, and one sentence hit me like a ton of bricks "𝑌𝑜𝑢 𝑑𝑜 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑟𝑖𝑠𝑒 𝑡𝑜 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑙𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑙 𝑜𝑓 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑔𝑜𝑎𝑙𝑠. 𝑌𝑜𝑢 𝑓𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑡𝑜 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑙𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑙 𝑜𝑓 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑠𝑦𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑚𝑠."

Routine! Can’t stand it. Can’t cope without it. I enjoy having certain routines in place - dedicated days for meetings, creative work (writing or designing), training, spending time with my sons, and so on. These structured moments keep me grounded. But the rest? I leave unplanned. An overly scheduled life often makes me anxious, irritable, and stifles my creativity. I’ve seen plenty of advice on LinkedIn suggesting that to be a successful marketer or CEO, you MUST plan your week in detail to maximize productivity. Every time, I hold myself back from asking, “How do you know what works for me? We’re different.” Some people thrive on routine, planning, and structure 📅. Others can’t stand it. And then there are those who need a balance - a mix of structure and spontaneity to keep things fresh ⚖️. How about you? How do you keep your work interesting, and how much time do you leave unplanned? ✨ PS! The blurry picture is from a small ad clip my friend made for a restaurant. Honestly, I can't stand cameras, but tried to be spontaneous. #WorkLifeBalance #MarketingLife
