Hey Reader,

One strategy has transformed how I manage my days as a CEO, and I've been using it for the past three years. It's also helped many entrepreneurs I've coached. While it might not work for everyone, it's made a significant difference for me and others struggling with focus and balance.

As entrepreneurs, we juggle countless responsibilities. The lack of focus and balance can lead to burnout, affecting our mental, physical, and emotional health. So, here's what I do: ⤵️

🚨 Pick Three Tasks Per Day: Yup, just three.

I don't focus on the number of hours I work each day. Instead, I choose three tasks to complete. Whether these tasks take one hour or eight hours, my day ends when they're done.

🤔 Here's How This Helps:

1. Balance: By limiting myself to three tasks, I ensure my day doesn't overflow with work. Once those tasks are completed, I shift my focus to other aspects of my life—yoga, tennis, spending time with family and friends, or enjoying a coffee break. 👉 This balance prevents burnout and promotes overall well-being.

2. Focus: Concentrating on just three tasks allows me to give my full attention to each one. Task-switching can be costly in terms of productivity. 👉 By dedicating myself to one task at a time, I become more productive and efficient.

Here are a few actionable steps to help you try this. ⤵️
​Remember, as with anything, the first, second, or even third time you do it can be challenging, but eventually, you'll see the results.

1. Identify Your Top Three Tasks: At the beginning of each day, choose the three most important tasks you need to complete. Write them down and focus on finishing them before moving on to anything else.

2. Avoid Multitasking: Dedicate your energy to one task at a time. Resist the urge to switch between tasks, as this can reduce your productivity and increase stress.

3. Set Boundaries: Once your three tasks are done, give yourself permission to stop working. Use the remaining time to engage in activities that rejuvenate you, whether it's exercise, hobbies, or spending time with loved ones.

4. Reflect and Adjust: At the end of each week, reflect on your progress. Adjust your task selection and approach as needed to ensure you're maintaining balance and productivity.

By implementing this strategy, you'll find a new level of focus and balance in your entrepreneurial journey.

Until next time,
