Can we talk for a minute about hustlers guilt? ⠀ Can we talk for a minute about hustlers guilt? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I used to be the poster child for hustlers guilt. And just in case you've never heard the term, hustlers guilt is feeling that you should be working on your side hustle when you're away doing something else. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I cancelled plans, stayed glued to my laptop on trips, and worked sun up to sun down on the weekends. I always felt guilty about not working because I wasn't getting enough done. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Turns out the real problem was that I wasn't getting the right things done. I'd waste time working on insignificant things or get distracted by new ideas. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Once I learned how to implement a system for my business, things started changing. The most noticeable being that I was making real progress on my work and feeling less guilty about stepping away. I even developed a system for capturing ideas so that I can research them later instead of in the middle of a project. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Don't let hustlers guilt hold your mind hostage. You don't need to work 24/7 for your business to be successful. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm hosting a free challenge all about setting up a system to improve your productivity. We start January 20th and you need to be in it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Register by clicking the link in my bio or visiting pimpyourbrilliance.com/productive.
Here's something that you probably didn't know abo Here's something that you probably didn't know about me. I like things to be streamlined and really organized. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💄Even my makeup which is neatly displayed in a pegboard organizer so that I can see everything at a glance and grab what I need. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🚴🏼‍♀️ Even my cycle gear which is organized to reduce clutter and keep the living room in my apartment tidy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 👟 Even my collection of Converse. I had a little photoshoot with every pair that didn't have the original box and added photos to the boxes so that I'd have an easier time finding the ones I want to wear. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Everything has its place, which saves me time plus it reduces stress and eliminates overwhelm. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is why I believe every creative entrepreneur needs a system. With so many projects and tasks to keep track of wouldn't it be nice to sit down and let your system do the heavy lifting of remembering all of your due dates and deadlines? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let's save time + eliminate overwhelm + reduces stress by getting your system set up. Join my free Pimp Your Productivity 5-day challenge. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We'll discover what tasks your business needs to function and create a system that works for you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Sign up link is in my bio or visit pimpyourbrilliance.com/productive. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fun Fact: I receive tons of questions about produc Fun Fact: I receive tons of questions about productivity.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Even funner (is that a word?) fact: Productivity is not measured by the number of hacks you know, it's all about what you produce when you sit down and work.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Productive business owners know the key to producing is having a handle on what needs to be done AND when you're going to do it.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ That's it! That's the big secret!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But it is so much easier when you use a system to track, manage, and complete the tasks that keeps your business functioning.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So let me show you how to set up a system that works for you! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Join the Pimp Your Productivity Challenge for a crash course in using a project management system to take charge of your workflow.
