I’m Phoebe! I’m the founder, designer, podcast host + humorous video maker over at Lady Gang Crafta neighborhood for creatives. GGC started as quickly as I was searching for reasonably priced + fulfilling areas to promote her work, so I created my very private craft truthful.
Now GGC is a multifaceted neighborhood with a podcast, attire line, courses + packages, a membership, and craft gala’s in Oakland, CA + Salem, MA.
I combine my seven years of yoga instructing expertise with my basis of intersectional feminism and creativity into my work as a enterprise proprietor. My mindfulness observe might be professional in how I take care of initiatives and my staff, and I hope I combine into my teachings! As quickly as I’m not working you will uncover me exploring open air, thrifting, or ingesting iced espresso.
What does a typical week in your life seem like?
I do A LOT in a typical week. I’m instructing courses, packing orders, getting ready for launches, assembly with my staff, designing new merchandise, sending emails, working with companions, filming content material materials supplies, designing graphics, and I hope to go open air as rapidly as a day.
When do you propose your weeks?
I’m a Virgo! And likewise get merely distracted. So having a plan is essential to my success. Planning my week was revolutionized as quickly as I carried out two separate factors: one-throwing away my to-do report and scheduling as a substitute, and two-theming my days. The to-do report is unquestionably on no account achieved, appropriate?
And that makes us really actually really feel SO shitty after we get to the tip of the day and we haven’t accomplished our duties, and if the to-do report all the time exists, you’re all the time going to basically actually really feel that you just merely’re not doing sufficient, and F THAT! So as a substitute, schedule your duties.
Decide numerous factors a day that YOU CAN ACTUALLY DO. That methodology day-after-day you presumably can really actually really feel achieved. Ought to plan a health care provider’s appt, put it in your cal, have to put in writing that weblog? Put it in your cal. Your cal turns into your to-do report.
Secondly, I began theming my days.
- Monday is CEO Day (planning my week, having a transparent imaginative and prescient of what’s coming)
- Tuesday is Inside Day (conferences with my staff and no matter I’ve to do for them)
- Wednesday is Content material materials supplies Day (planning + filming movement photos, designing graphics, writing)
- Thursday is Neighborhood Day (Podcasts, Partnership work, Instructing)
- Friday is Monetary + Overflow day (accounting, + no matter else I didn’t full all by the week)
By having themed days it’s easier for me to plan and schedule, and I keep contained in the circulation elevated, as a substitute of getting sidetracked switching duties or having choice paralysis and on no account figuring out what to do.
Clearly, some factors get barely switched spherical normally, and that’s okay, however I normally attempt to keep it up theme as hundreds as I can.
As quickly as I say these 2 ideas CHANGED MY LIFE I’m not joking!
What packages do you take advantage of to plan your week and why?
I exploit Google cal to plan my weeks (and life!) and use Asana with my staff in order that they know what’s occurring as efficiently.
Related is a pic of an event week. I care so much a lot much less regarding the hours/time for non-meetings, and extra use day-after-day as a bulletin board for my day. I flip every train GREEN as rapidly as a result of it is achieved.
Strive themed days! And throw away your to-do report! Most significantly, come to your desk with a plan! (In each different case, you’ll merely scroll social media, let’s be exact)
