Today we talk about how to structure your time when you’ve gone full-time as a creator. You would think this wouldn’t be much of a problem, but the reality is it’s kind of like hitting a brick wall.

Our time and attention are finite. So respecting your own boundaries (and making sure others respect them as well) is key to staying productive. 

In this episode, we talk about how to organize your life and schedule, and make sure you’re as productive as possible while working to support your newfound lifestyle. 

Main Takeaways

  • Believing that you are available to do whatever you want at any time is a dangerous mindset. The pressure to make progress can cause a lot of stress and anxiety. 
  • Block out your life into phases (highschool, college, work, etc…) and notice which one you thrive in. Which one did you enjoy the most? This can help you recreate a productive environment for yourself now that you’re a full-time creator. 
  • Define the types of work that need to happen throughout your day. Here are four categories to start with: 
    • Maker
    • Manager
    • Seller or Promotion Time
    • Consumer (information) 
  • Sleep, diet, and exercise are critical in maintaining a healthy balance for your work and life and will certainly help make you more productive.
