Declutter Your Schedule

Once you have handled that one, move onto the more personal decluttering of your agenda. Look for time wasters that you don’t need to do. Your time must work for you. I have a full agenda on most days. But found myself getting a little stressed that every morning I had commitments that took me out of the house. While I enjoyed these tasks, I know my most productive time to work on my businesses is first thing in the morning. These tasks were cutting into my most productive time.

So declutter your agenda, clearing one commitment, moving another and shortening another has given me space and time I need each morning to get the productivity items done first in my day.
