Episode Overview
In this episode, we help you establish a weekly plan that you can repeat week after week to help you organize all of your work, stay on task and get more done.
Our previous 2 episodes discussed productivity drains and some strategies to overcome them. Today, we pull it all together and help you establish a weekly cadence of planning and execution. Be sure to grab our free guide that walks through this process as well.
