How to take back control over your schedule and focus on what matters most.
If you’ve been following along with me on social media this month, you’ve probably noticed my updates from the Women Economic Forum in Delhi, India.

Whenever I’m able to travel for work, I take it as an opportunity to get away to find my way. It’s a chance to do some reflecting, and narrow in on my root success. And as much as I love having the opportunity to work from anywhere in the world, it definitely isn’t easy.
During the weeks leading up to my trip, my schedule was overflowing. I found myself falling into the “busy trap,” where there were never enough hours in the day.

When teaching time management as part of my Academy program for entrepreneurs, I go over the key steps to prioritizing your to-do list and how to best utilize your time. This includes the following three steps:

- Schedule time slots within your day.
- Review what needs to be done and prepare accordingly.
