From Overwhelm to Success: How I Managed My Time and Transformed My Career
As a consultant at Booz Allen Hamilton, my days were filled with intense client demands, leaving me little time for anything else. Add to that an evening MBA program at the University of California San Diego, and it’s a wonder I had any free time at all. Yet, despite this chaotic schedule, I managed to grow a successful blog in just 30 minutes each morning and a few hours on the weekends.
The key to my success? Refusing to let lack of time hold me back. I made every moment count, and it paid off. Here are the strategies that helped me achieve my goals:
- Outsourcing tasks: Within six months of starting my blog, I was overwhelmed with emails. That’s when I hired a virtual assistant, who took care of tasks while I slept.
- Prioritizing: Each week, I wrote down three top priorities and focused on them one by one. This helped me avoid getting bogged down by a long to-do list.
- Batching similar tasks: Grouping similar tasks together, such as writing or answering emails, allowed me to stay focused and get more done.
By implementing these strategies, I was able to transform my career and achieve success despite my busy schedule. Don’t let fear or lack of time hold you back – take action, and you’ll be surprised at what you can accomplish.
