How on earth did you find the time???
|
Hi Reader, Thank you so much for all your encouragement and support for my new website. I’ve been genuinely bowled over by all your lovely emails and kind words. (Missed the full announcement? You can read it HERE!) I'm also super excited to see that TSHP is already ranking on Google!!! I mean, ok… I'm only ranking for 76 keywords. And yes… they’re mostly sitting around position 34 😄 But still. After just one week? I’ll take that. (And it’s a nice little reminder that SEO is not dead yet 😉) How did you find the time?One question that’s come up a few times this week has been… “How on earth did you find the time???” And honestly… I love that question! Because it looks like I must have added a huge amount of extra work to my already-full plate. After all, when I started building TSHP, I was already working full time on my other two blogs. So on paper, there was no obvious “extra capacity” hiding anywhere. And yet somehow… I built a brand new site from scratch anyway. Without working more hours. So what changed? The truth is actually very simple. I didn’t find more time. I just used my time differently. And I did that simply by applying the principles I teach in 80/20 Blogging. The secrets of 80/20 Blogging…In 80/20 Blogging, I teach a simple 4-step approach to getting more done without burning out or spinning your wheels: 1. Identify your 20% tasks 2. Plan your 20% tasks in properly 3. Identify and minimise your 80% tasks 4. Radically reorganise your time And that’s exactly what I did…No magic extra hours. No late-night marathons. No massive team. Just a very intentional shift in how I was spending my time. And that shift is what made it possible to build an entire new website from scratch alongside everything else. Happy 80/20ing! Eb 😊 P.S. If you’ve ever felt like you’re working hard but not really moving forward… You can learn more about what the 80/20 rule is and how to harness it’s power to achieve more while working less here: 80/20 Blogging |

Hi Reader, Over the last couple of weeks we’ve looked at: How to identify your 20% tasks How to make sure your 20% tasks actually get done But that leaves us with a bit of a problem… Everything else. All those 80% tasks. The stuff that fills your days but doesn’t really move your blog forward in any meaningful way. So in today’s email, we’re going to look at how to identify and minimize your 80% activities. But first… a quick reality check. 80% tasks pep talk The truth is, most bloggers spend...
Hi Reader, Last week I shared how to identify your 20% tasks. Those High Impact Tasks that actually move the needle in your blogging business. But here’s the thing… Identifying your 20% is only half the battle. Because knowing what matters most doesn’t automatically mean it gets done. And this is where a lot of bloggers get stuck. They know what they should be focusing on… But their time never quite seems to align with their priorities. So today I want to show you the next step. How to...
Hi Reader, Last week, I shared how I managed to create an entirely new website, in less than 5 months, while still working on my 2 existing blogs… and without working any extra hours. (Missed it? You can read it HERE!)
