The secret to getting more done without working more hours

Happy Thursday!

We are fast approaching another weekend and for some of you, that weekend may not come soon enough - particularly if you have found this week to be a long and draining one!

One of the biggest myths in business is that working harder equals better results. I talk to business owners all the time who are grinding 60- or 70-hour weeks, but their business isn’t growing.

The truth? Sometimes it is necessary to put in a long shift and for a short period of time, ploughing lots of hours in to something is needed; however, on a day to day basis it’s not about working more—it’s about working smarter.

Here’s how you can start to work smarter today:

• First, batch similar tasks together—emails, calls, and admin should be done in chunks, not spread throughout the day.
• Second, use the “one-touch” rule—if something takes less than five minutes, do it now and be done with it.
• Third, set boundaries on your work time—forcing yourself to finish by a set hour makes you more efficient.

If you’re constantly working late and still feeling behind, there may be deeper issues—like poor systems, lack of delegation, or an unclear strategy. That’s exactly what my clients and I explore, so if you'd like some pointers let’s set up a quick phone call and talk about how you can start working less while achieving more.

Have a great day in life and business!
