In 2016, my tech company was growing. Fast. I’d started scaling through systemizing, automation, and hiring a team, and by all counts, it was going great. Except that I was pulling my hair out to get the business admin work done.
I was so busy!
But I wasn’t too busy.
In fact, my hours were dropping. Yet, whenever I felt like I finally had time to answer emails, develop documentation, or write a blog post, a meeting came up, a phone call came in, and I lost my edge. I’d be exhausted by 3pm and couldn’t work anymore.
[bctt tweet=”I wasn’t too busy. I was distracted and juggling tasks. Then I discovered A/B Days.”]
Then I discovered A/B Days, and everything changed. I didn’t have to give up networking, client meetings, or strategy sessions with the team, but my productivity skyrocketed (as did my peace of mind).
What are A/B Days?
Simply put, it’s a split-scheduling methodology for segmenting your time so you have the space to get shit done. Here’s how it works.
“A Days” are my action days. These are the days I schedule clients, take meetings, network, and give my time to others. I may get some systems work done in between, but those days are set aside for meetings.
“B Days” are my business days. This is when the internal work happens, and my calendar is blocked from meetings or scheduling. Clients can’t book me on those days, I don’t go to coffee with colleagues, and I don’t take meetings. The phone is on vibrate or on the other side of the room, and I’m heads-down doing the work that makes the business run.
A/B Days create immense peace of mind. Blocking a day (or two) each week to move my business forward means I can take meetings on my A Days knowing that everything is getting done.
Does this sound like a good idea for your business?
