Episode #4: Less Screen Time = More Creativity

Every week it is my goal to share stories from successful business owners and their relationship with time. Today’s guest is Marc Mawhinney, a lifelong entrepreneur who helps coaches get more clients (without paid advertising)! 

He achieves this with his coaching programs: the popular Natural Born Coaches podcast, his Facebook group The Coaching Jungle, and his exclusive print newsletter – Secret Coach Club. He’s been a speaker at events like Social Media Marketing World, Entrepreneur City Live, and the TP3X conference. He frequently makes media appearances and contributes to online publications like Entrepreneur.com

Marc has built an online business supporting coaches - so it is unheard of that one of his strategies to be productive and effective is to actually limit his screen time!  Sit back and let Marc’s wisdom help you improve your “get it done” strategies.

Time Management Strategies:
Reduced News Consumption - “I limit my news consumption to 10 minutes a day to scroll some sites that I visit, and then I'm done.”
Set Schedule for Social MEdia Each Day - “For social media, I have set times through the day that pop in, I do what I have to do (I do my posts or respond to my messages or whatever), then get the heck out of there.”

Here’s how Marc likes to spend his 25th Hour:
Sketch. “One thing I've started picking up again, which I used to do a lot as a kid, is to draw. I have a sketchbook and I did a little bit of it last week and really enjoyed it”
