Mastering Time Management for ADHD Entrepreneurs: Daily, Weekly, and Monthly Tips

"If you build a business to take over your life, you will have a business that will take over your life. However, if you create a business that is specifically designed to support the life you want to live, you're going to end up with a business that supports the life you want to live." - Katie McManus, Brave Business Coaching

As a business strategist and money mindset coach, I have helped entrepreneurs who have ADHD and are struggling with time management. In this episode of Weeniecast, I share my experience and offer daily, weekly, and monthly practices that can help take ownership of your time and create a business that supports your lifestyle.

Owning Your Time

Let's name that taking control of your time as an entrepreneur is essential to creating a balanced, successful business that aligns with the life you want to live.

Designing and implementing effective time management strategies foster a sense of accomplishment, satisfaction, and personal well-being. And boy do we all need that in our lives, yes?

As ADHD entrepreneurs we need to recognize the value of our time, eradicate time-wasting activities, and focus on tasks that propel their business forward.

In this episode, I, Katie McManus share my own experiences of initially being available to clients at all times, which led to chaos and feelings of overwhelm.

By restricting client booking times to specific days, I was able to allocate more time to focus on other tasks. I'm here to help you figure it out so you can do the same!

Daily practices

Integrating daily practices that cater to mind, body, and spirit is crucial for entrepreneurs. Effective daily practices include setting daily goals, working on physically active or relaxing activities, engaging in mindfulness or meditation, and dedicating time to personal growth. There are three non-negotiable daily practices I suggest to all ADHD entrepreneurs.

This episode that's all about ADHD time management mastery, covers:

• Master the essential daily, weekly, and monthly time management practices for entrepreneurs.
• Strike a balance between personal and professional time by prioritizing both in your schedule.
• Boost your productivity by limiting client bookings to specific days for increased focus.
• Discover the significance of nurturing your mind, body, and spirit through self-care routines.
• Leverage the power of a supportive community to propel your business to success.

Do you intellectualize your emotions?

Hey lovely weenie! Welcome to another episode of The Weeniecast - the podcast for ADHD entrepreneurs seeking business strategies. I'm your host Katie McManus.

As someone who has personally experienced the challenges of starting a business and dealing with the pressure and expectations that come with it, I understand the importance of addressing our emotional well-being.

We often get so caught up in the intellectual side of things, trying to make sense of our feelings, that we neglect to actually process and release them.

It's essential for ADHD entrepreneurs to learn how to fully feel and process their emotions, both the good and the bad.

By doing so, we not only gain a better understanding of ourselves, but also enhance our ability to connect with others and build successful businesses.

Emotions should not be seen as obstacles to success, but rather as tools that can support and guide us on our entrepreneurial journey.

I, myself, have had to to the work on this thanks to PTSD caused by a brain injury, and I recognize the importance of therapy in supporting my business endeavors.

Do you know, children with ADHD often struggle to communicate their emotions effectively, leading to emotional dysregulation?

Many individuals with ADHD learn to intellectualize their emotions rather than process them fully, resulting in trapped energy and unresolved feelings.

This can be detrimental to both personal and professional growth.

The episode highlights the misconceptions and stigma surrounding emotions, particularly in the business world.

Emotions are often seen as obstacles to success rather than valuable tools for understanding and connecting with others.

Katie challenges this perspective, highlighting the importance of embracing the full range of emotions to live a fulfilling life and run a successful business.

She acknowledges the difficulty of processing negative emotions but emphasizes the necessity of doing so in order to fully experience positive emotions like joy and love.
