It’s great to hear your insight Fiona Chorlton-Voong! I definitely need to remember output over input, as I can often get too fixated on the tasks that don’t really make much of an impact. I find having a good plan in place so know what needs completing to stay on track really helps me!

Ah, this is one I’m still unlearning bad habits for and learning better ones! I do love to plan a day… but I’m not the best at sticking to the plan 🥴 Locking in ’unchangeable’ things like prepaid yoga classes or other classes/appointments helps keep me focussed on stopping work, but ensuring I’m working on the not so fun stuff rather than putting all my time into the fun stuff is an ongoing challenge! After yesterday’s Let’s Talk I’m thinking I’ll try out the Pomodoro technique Cara de Lange mentioned to try and keep me on task and stop letting things pile up!

I have so many tips and practices here. One is to set rules for my calendar regarding how much time I will spend on each part of my portfolio (TPC, my startup clients, family, exercise etc) and stick to it – with colour coding! Another is to put a $$$ value on each hour of my week, and if any task can be outsourced for less than that amount, I do so. Plenty more ideas to discuss in the Let’s Talk tomorrow

I love this topic – productivity is a bit of a love of mine! Key to a successful portfolio career to make sure everything has enough of your time and nothing has too much! Looking forward to this chat!

Great questions Ella Bernie! I try to utilise my time wisely. I thoroughly believe in output over input. If a piece of work is taking me much longer than I anticipated, its perhaps time to scrap the plan and start again or even better – outsource it to someone who more skilled in that area! Financial planning is a great example and its definitely not my bag. Thankfully I have the amazing Rohan Sheth to help me with those models.
Great to see your reactions Ben Legg, Jesus Iniesta, Caoimhe Kelly, Hema Patel, Zarir 'Zed' Vakil, @anthonycmainhon, Alex Pitt
