So believe it or not, most of my time as Certified Notion Consultant isn’t actually spent doing client work 😅 Only about 40% of my time is spent doing client work - the other 70% is spent doing sales, making content, replying to comments, emails, strategy, accounting, learning, PR…
Yes, the maths is deliberately wrong here as running a business is great, but you never *actually* clock-out. 2 things that have helped me organise my time lately, the ‘habit nudger’, found in my journal template, helps me stay accountable to my daily non-negotiables e.g. answering emails and staying on top pitches/invoices. Additionally, my VIP day package has helped me time-block client work - 10,000/10,000 would recommend.
