Sitting writing my daily plan this morning, I blocked out 90
minutes for; Marketing - web, blog, LinkedIn, cards.
I then realised we had not updated anything onto the blog
for many moons. I am still not sure how many moons as I will leave looking
until I post this.
How remiss. How often do we not get something done - often
on the sales and/or marketing side of things, if we do not prioritise any actual
time? So many of us are more busy doing the little things in our To Do lists,
than planning, and suddenly we realise we've finished our day without achieving
what we set out to do, or even gotten a little out of date - whether we are
talking blogs, websites or even products and services. There's little worse
than being behind the times, left behind while the competition overtakes.
So, plan your deadlines and blocks of time so that you can
prioritise times throughout your month, week and day for the important (and
hopefully not yet urgent) projects, keep on top of the game, and plan time for
improvements.
The stylised weekly planning grid below may help to see how
you can plan blocks of time through the week.
