Running an agency requires working long hours every single day
A couple of months ago the grind had me feeling fairly burnt out
Until this time management strategy helped pull me out of it, maintain balance and boost my productivity

Might seem counterintuitive, but Iโve found the key to being more productive is actually doing less to accomplish more
Iโve been using the 60-20-20-time management rule
- 60% main projects
- 20% spontaneous tasks
- 20% reflection
- 60% main projects
- 20% spontaneous tasks
- 20% reflection
I only plan out 60% of my available time
And use this to focus on my high priority tasks
Things like important calls with clients, work related projects, my main to-do-list throughout the day

Then I save 20% of your time for spontaneous tasks
For those things I canโt predict
Like day in tasks, other people bring to me or random unseen time-consuming problems I encounter

20% goes to reflection and conceptualisation
Iโve found slowing down to reflect on my work allows me room to innovate and make better experiences for clients
Taking a break from โbusyโ work gives the extra bandwidth to notice valuable insights and come up with new ideas

Reserving time for spontaneous tasks and reflection might seem unproductive at first
But just because youโre not generating new sales or seeing tangible outcomes doesnโt mean your wasting your time

Slow down, practice the 60-20-20-time management rule and see if your productivity improves like mine did!
