So I decided that Tuesday was going to be my new Video Day.Ĭhoosing Tuesdays really makes the most sense. It would cause friction in more ways than it wouldn’t. I felt as if altering it to put video in its place would be no different than me trying to do the same on Wednesdays. I’ve reserved Thursday for training – meaning training others and myself in new skills – for as long as I can remember, and I have some standing coaching appointments on Thursday as well. That left Tuesday and Thursday as the remaining options. I didn’t want to choose Sunday, Monday, Friday, or Saturday for video work because it would be possible or likely that members of my family would be home on those days. It was pretty safe to keep Wednesday as my Audio Day because all of my upcoming podcast interviews were scheduled in advance for weeks to come. Here was what my Daily Themes looked like before making the shift: Next, I had to find a home for a new Daily Theme: Video. I’ve been able to dive even deeper into existing audio tasks that have been shelved for a while. Once I made that call, I immediately leveraged the newly-found space by creating a daily podcast called Three Minutes of TimeCrafting. My first decision was to make Wednesday’s theme one that placed a focus on any and all audio work.
Since video is something I want to invest more time, energy, and attention on, it can no longer share a day with audio work. Another day was dedicated to doing audio and video work. One of my days had been focused on administrative work. The first takeaway started an internal dialogue around my Daily Themes.

There were definitely some crossover takeaways from them, most notably the following:ġ. A Change Was Neededīoth of these conferences focused on marketing in some way, shape, or form. However, when I returned from two conferences in San Diego – Traffic and Conversion and Social Media Marketing World – I found myself reevaluating the concept of giving a whole day to these types of tasks. My goal was to deal with these tasks and get them out of the way so I could focus on other work like writing, recording audio content, diving into deep work, learning new skills, and so on. I figured that by dedicating a day to them I could get into a state of flow and be more productive. While these tasks don’t move me forward in leaps or bounds, not doing them can hinder progress on other tasks that lead to greater gains.Įver since I started theming my days I’ve set aside one day of the week to focus on administrative tasks. I classify administrative tasks as those that require more of “maintenance mindset” than anything else. Administrative tasks are the bane of my existence.
