Feeling buried by never-ending to-do lists and demands coming from all sides? Trust me, I get it. As an agency owner with a packed client roster and a team of six, I’ve been there.
But I found my saving grace: boundaries. And today, I’m sharing exactly how you can use the same boundaries I set up to keep my business running smoothly while protecting your peace and avoiding burnout.
In this episode, I walk you through the 5 Essential Boundaries that have been game-changers for me. From blocking off set days for deep work, to turning off notifications, and setting clear email-checking routines, these strategies help me focus on what really matters.
Here’s what you’ll get out of today’s episode:
•Why I swear by “no-call Mondays and Fridays” to set up my week and stay ahead and still get everything done
•How time-blocking and checking Slack just twice a day keep me sane and productive
•How I minimise distractions to protect my focus
•My easy, four-step email system to keep my inbox (and mind) clear and organised
•How creating SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) for everything has freed me up and empowered my team
If you’re a CEO looking for more headspace, some productivity magic, or simply a smoother path to scaling, these boundaries could make a world of difference for you, too.
Ready to reclaim your time? Tune in to hear how I make these boundaries work for me—and if you’re thinking a VA could help you get similar results, click the link below to book a call with me.
