So how can you structure your to-do list and manage your time so that you balance client and admin work with big-picture projects that contribute to growth?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The secret to feeling in control of your workload every day is in understanding where you spend your time.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>You need an acute understanding of what is mission-critical to the success of your business, and you need to be able to evaluate the income-generating potential of each item competing for attention on your to-do list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What I practice in my own business (and what I recommend to my clients) is finding a 60\/10\/30 split, with 60% of your time spent on client work, 10% spent on admin work, and 30% spent on income-generating work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So let\u2019s run through an example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to develop awareness so you can find balance.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Below is my to-do list from last week. This includes every task and project that I needed to complete for both myself and my clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Check email (daily)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Send invoices to 2 clients<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Schedule social media for the month<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Finish new workbook opt-in<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Write welcome sequence for workbook<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Create outline for new product<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Create content for new product<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Launch new product<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Onboard new client<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Setup workflow for Client A<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Record explainer video for Client A<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Setup Asana for Client B<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Record Asana training for Client B<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Schedule training call with Client C<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Offboard Client C<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Respond to questions from clients<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reach out to past client for testimonial<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pitch to podcast<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Promote podcast interview<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Now let\u2019s put these into three groups.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A <strong>client<\/strong> <strong>work <\/strong>task group, an <strong>admin <\/strong>task group, and an <strong>income-generating<\/strong> task group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>CLIENT WORK TASKS<\/td><td>ADMIN TASKS<\/td><td>INCOME-GENERATING TASKS<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\u25cf Onboard new client<br>\u25cf Setup workflow for <br>Client A<br>\u25cf Record explainer <br>video for Client A<br>\u25cf Setup Asana for <br>Client B<br>\u25cf Record Asana <br>training for Client B<br>\u25cf Schedule training <br>call with Client C<br>\u25cf Offboard Client C<br>\u25cfRespond to questions from clients<\/td><td>\u25cf Check email (daily)<br>\u25cfSend invoices to 2 <br>clients<br>\u25cf Schedule social <br>media for the month<br>\u25cf Reach out to past <br>client for testimonial <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><\/td><td>\u25cf Create outline for<br>new product<br>\u25cf Create content for <br>new product<br>\u25cf Launch new product<br>\u25cf Finish new <br>workbook opt-in<br>\u25cf Write welcome <br>sequence for <br>workbook<br>\u25cf Pitch to podcast<br>\u25cf Promote podcast <br>interview<br><br><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>From last week\u2019s to-do list, there are 19 tasks total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>42% of them are related to client work. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>21% are administrative tasks. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>And 37% are tasks that will contribute to generating income for me at some point. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not perfect, but it\u2019s close to that ideal 60\/10\/30 balance that I strive for. And since this week is admin-heavy, I\u2019ll make sure that next week is lighter in that area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Understanding that split and where I\u2019m spending the majority of my time is an exercise that I go through each week as I\u2019m planning.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How I actually plan for that balance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On Friday (or the last working day of the week), I spend 20 minutes in my project management system looking at the week ahead, as well as the following week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I look at the client deadlines that are upcoming, any monthly or weekly recurring administrative things that will need to be done, my batching schedule for content, and any bigger-picture projects that I\u2019m working on. Then I take everything that\u2019s upcoming and sort it into these categories so that I can assign the appropriate balance of tasks to my list for the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it\u2019s all said and done, I have no more than 15-20 tasks on my list for any given week because I know that\u2019s all I can realistically accomplish, and those tasks are a good balance of working both IN and ON my business. Anything that doesn\u2019t fit on my list this week gets pushed to the following week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ultimately<\/strong>, the number of tasks and the specific breakdown will depend on the type of work you do and the time it takes you to complete tasks and projects. But what\u2019s most important is that you pick a <strong>realistic<\/strong> number and set a schedule that allows you to complete all of the tasks on your list each week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My personal go-to for managing my workload and task list is Asana. It\u2019s a fantastic tool that helps to aggregate project work, client work, random tasks that pop up, and general to-do lists into one tidy spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It shows you <em>exactly <\/em>where you should be focusing your attention at any given time and the calendar feature helps you arrange your workload to fit your lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I live by this rule: If it\u2019s not in Asana, it doesn\u2019t happen.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>I know that it can be really tough to step back and see the big picture. Prioritizing is H A R D when we feel like we need to do everything \u201cright now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But by taking a critical and discerning look at your list and setting intentional and non-negotiable priorities each week, I promise you <em>can<\/em> find a balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need help creating structure and managing your workload, my Workflow in a Week program could serve you well!

After earning her MBA and with a decade in corporate marketing and operations experience under her belt, she ditched the power suit in pursuit of something more fulfilling. Led by her knack for project management and process organization, she developed a reputation as a dynamic and dependable virtual assistant. But it wasn\u2019t long before she began to realize the need for creative businesses owners to build a stronger foundation of simple, streamlined, repeatable workflows that would sustain them as they evolved, and inevitably grew. Just three years later, she\u2019s worked with more than 50 businesses, helping them optimize their backend systems. Now, she\u2019s on a mission to help more creative founders discover elevated efficiency through an unshakeable foundation of business systems, allowing them to grow, scale, and - finally - step fully and confidently into their role as CEO. Annie is a certified project management professional by day, and a die-hard bluegrass festie on nights and weekends. Around here, we believe that there is nothing sweeter than a business that brings in revenue while you\u2019re bopping with a beer in hand.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.anniemccarty.com","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/efficientlyannie\/"],"url":"https:\/\/hbb.dev.reliablepenguin.com\/blog\/author\/annie-mccarty"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hbb.dev.reliablepenguin.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21077","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hbb.dev.reliablepenguin.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hbb.dev.reliablepenguin.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hbb.dev.reliablepenguin.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/401"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hbb.dev.reliablepenguin.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21077"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hbb.dev.reliablepenguin.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21077\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hbb.dev.reliablepenguin.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/74578"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hbb.dev.reliablepenguin.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21077"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hbb.dev.reliablepenguin.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21077"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hbb.dev.reliablepenguin.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21077"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
