Kiley provides tips and tactics for creating space, including structuring your calendar, taking regular big thinking getaways, and implementing quarterly strategic planning. Other suggestions include setting aside dedicated days for focused work, shortening meetings, saying no to non-essential tasks, avoiding multitasking, and being mindful of the mental and emotional energy required for new endeavors. Lastly, Kiley emphasizes the need to protect and prioritize one's time and energy.Creating Space 1:58Saving Time and Energy 6:56Recommended Resources 18:00Quotes“If you find yourself feeling that you're supposed to be working eight hours a day because that's a full day's work, please keep in mind that some of the mental energy that we need to do big picture thinking and for some people to do the work that you sell requires so much mental energy that it might not be sustainable for eight hours. And there's a lot of research that shows that we are really only capable of four to maybe six hours of work a day.” 3:48“Quarterly strategic planning. This might just be a day, but it's a day dedicated to saying, okay, this is what we're doing for the next 90 days. And this is how we're going to make moves on how we want to build the company moving forward. You're creating that structure to guide what you do on a daily basis, it removes some of that decision fatigue. Because you've already made that decision and now you're sticking to it.” 5:15“I'm going to say this with love, get over yourself for a minute and realize where you are truly well positioned to be of service. Look at when you're purely just acting out of guilt so that instead you could actually be helping somebody better by referring or delegating that task to somebody else. We have to be the protectors of our own time.” 11:17Links & Follow-ups:Learn more at MakeBusinessPersonal.com & KileyPeters.com Downloads available at MBPDownloads.comWork with us at RAYNEIX.com & RIXAccelerator.com Submit questions at MBPPodcast.com Newsletter Signup: RIXNewsletter.com Linkedin: Kiley Peters & RAYNE IXInstagram: @kileypeters & @rayneix Email: [email protected]
