Let’s be honest, coaches—life can feel like a whirlwind sometimes, can’t it? Between client sessions, admin tasks, content creation, and everything in between, it’s easy to get stuck on the hamster wheel. The thing is, we all know there’s a smarter way to work. It’s not about cramming more into your day; it’s about making what you do count.
If that sounds like something you’re craving, let’s talk about a few ways you can reclaim your time, ease the load, and make space for the work that lights you up.
Efficiency Starts with Awareness
Ever feel like your to-do list is running the show? It’s time to flip the script. Start by asking yourself: Where is my time actually going? Not where you think it’s going, but where it really goes.
Spend a few days jotting down what you’re doing and when. You might be surprised by the little time-drainers hiding in your day—scrolling emails, overthinking social posts, or switching between tasks every five minutes. Awareness is your first step to cutting the fluff and focusing on what truly matters.
The Power of Systems
Systems might not sound glamorous, but they’re an absolute game-changer. Think of them as your behind-the-scenes magic.
For example:
- Do you have a clear process for onboarding new clients, or do you reinvent the wheel each time?
- Are your weekly admin tasks scattered, or do you batch them into one dedicated block of time?
When you create simple, repeatable systems, you’re not just saving time—you’re also reducing stress. And who wouldn’t love a bit more breathing room in their week?
Goodbye Perfection, Hello Progress
Here’s the truth: you don’t need to overhaul everything at once. Start small. Maybe you could plan your week ahead on a Sunday evening, or get into the habit of tackling the biggest task first thing in the morning.
It’s about making one tiny tweak at a time, seeing what works for you, and building from there. Remember, perfection isn’t the goal—progress is.
