010 Theme Your Work Days: Introduction

Vicki Adrian brings a daily dose of inspiration and education
forentrepreneurs and savvy retailers! Today we're talking about
makingthe most of your work week by THEMING your days.

Several months ago I implemented a simple techniquethathashelped
me become more efficient, get more done and makesmylifeless hectic.
After my friend, Carol asked me about itlastnight, Idecided to
focus on this subject in today’s Periscopetoshare howyou can
implement the same technique in yourbusiness.

It’s called theming your days.

But what if you’re not so into the whole
planningandexecutionpart of things? (Most entrepreneurs aren’t,
sodon’tworry, you’renot alone.)

This is where theming your days comes into
play,becausewhetheryou love planning and execution or hate it,
themingyourdays canhelp you do both without having to hold
actualplanningsessionsand meetings with yourself every day.

First part is simple: what themes are required in
yourbusinessinorder to make it run? Or, in other words, what do you
doon aregularbasis that actually creates your business?

Some examples might be:

• Creating a marketing plan

• Writing Facebook posts

• Emailing a weekly newsletter to my list

• Hosting Events

• Placing orders for product

• Email Management

• Social Media

• Financials & Paying Bills

• Time on the Floor with Customers

• Sales Training for Staff

• Morning Meetings

…you get the idea.

Now pick 4 to 5 themes that are recurring for
youandthat,together, create your business.

Then schedule it. Get it written down on paper! Once
youhaveyourthemes, create a schedule around them, giving each
dayofyour“work week” a theme.

Go ahead…get out a calendar and create a major theme
foreachday.Here is a rough outline of what my Blocked
Schedulecalendarlookslike at this time…and of course this changes
throughthedifferentseasons.

Throughout this episode and the following 5 or 6episodes,we'llbe
talking about maximizing our days through thisthemingprocess.I hope
this will be helpful to you as a smallbusinessowner!
