Time Saving Trick that I taught Natalie in Our Coaching Sessions
When you have so much to do on your list, the best way is actually to put the same tasks on the same day or same half-day. For example, she can focus on social media one day and blogging a different day thus, she does not have to switch in between tasks.
However, In order to do that, you also have to plan a couple weeks to a month ahead so that you can do all the same tasks in one day.
