Put proactive first
I don’t know about you, but at the most groggy part of the day, 3:30 pm, is not the time I want to start working on what matters most to me. I should be doing that early in the morning.
So here are a few ways you can put the most important work ahead of the rest of the tasks you have to accomplish every day:
1. Differentiate between reactive work and proactive work. Before we can even talk about putting proactive work first, we have to identify the difference between reactive work and proactive work.
What tasks are you not in control of? These are reactive tasks (responding to “urgent” emails, putting out “fires” with clients, etc).
What tasks do you own entirely? These are proactive tasks (growing your business, creating content, working on projects).
2. Realize the world won’t stop spinning. Sometimes we think if we don’t respond to comments on our blog, reply to emails marked “urgent,” or thank someone for a RT on twitter that somehow the world will stop spinning.
Are these things important? Of course. Will the world crumble without a few extra tweets? Nope.
Find a time each day when you can focus on responding to comments, emails, or social posts and then resist the temptation to do it all day long. Especially resist the urge to take up your most productive hours with this kind of work. Unless your whole freelance business is built around growing an audience, theses sorts of things can wait.
3. Schedule your day. This is really just a post about time management. If you make a schedule, you’ll be able to put the right kind of work in the right part of the day. Are you a morning person? Put your proactive work first thing in the morning. Do you slump around 1pm? Take a nap and then handle your reactive work.
How to you make proactive work a priority?
