Take Control of Your Time By Creating Your Ideal Week Schedule
06/28/24 • 24 min
When you look up at the end of the week, does it feel like it’s gotten away from you? You put in work, but you don’t necessarily feel like it was the most efficient use of your time. You want to do more with less and ensure you and your team are focusing your time (and energy) and where it’s needed most.
But how? There are micro-specific ways you can leverage as part of your process. I’ve been working on something inside my business to restructure my workweek that works great for those I challenge to try it.
In this episode of the Contractor’s Daughter podcast, you’ll learn about the concept of an ideal week and how creating one can help structure and prioritize tasks in your highway construction business. I’ll share my recently revamped ideal week schedule, breaking down what I do day-by-day and highlighting aspects that create increased productivity while streamlining your time.
3:24 - What you need to know about implementing ideal week mode
4:56 - How I start my day and my workday startup ritual
7:31 - A component of your ideal week that makes you more productive
12:18 - How I revamped my schedule to stream down my workday and gave myself space to work on ideas I’d otherwise forget
19:16 - A slight modification for summer and the importance of blocking out time for yourself and your family
