Do you feel you constantly juggle too many tasks and never finish anything? You’re not alone. This blog post will discuss some of the best-kept productivity secrets, including batching tasks, using timers, and saying no. I’ll also share tips on ensuring you live a life that fills your soul.
Say “No”
It’s also important to remember that you can’t do everything. Sometimes, you have to say no to focus on what’s important. I’ve been working on this lately, and it’s been beneficial. One of my friends said, “Sometimes living a life of yes means saying no.” And I think that’s such a good rule of thum ..read more

Ellen shared 30 places to find new clients. For me, just thinking about this past year, this is where mine have come from:
#jesspicks
Social Media – specifically LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook
My weekly dance class
Referrals from existing clients
Also, my coworking space is a speaking client!
Where have you found your clients? What else would you add to the list?

Most productivity articles recommend that we wake up early, establish a morning routine, and get moving. While these tips can be helpful, it’s essential to understand that such advice may not work for everyone.
There isn’t a “one-size-fits-all” solution to productivity, as the right time for you may vary. For instance, waking up early may not be the best time to get work done if you don’t operate at your highest energy level.
Some folks may do their best work in the afternoon, while others may feel energized late at night. It’s all about discovering the time when you’re most productive and usi ..read more

One of my #jesspicks readers asked about making some progress with their new blog. I already knew Josh Spector had some excellent articles about this topic, and I re-discovered this post. It was good, too, because I want to keep these ideas in mind for my writing. Here are the templates:
“Read THIS Before You Do THAT.”
One-Sentence Tips – I have created one of these.
Recommended Resources – I have a resources page featuring tools I use, but I like the idea of creating one specifically for my audience.
“How To Get [Thing Your Audience Wants]”

Many folks feel like they have to say yes to everything that comes their way, and it can leave us overwhelmed. Setting boundaries and prioritizing your well-being is crucial for your mental and emotional health.
1. Be honest and realistic about your capacity.
First, be honest with yourself and others about what you can handle. Recognize your limits and understand that you have limited time and energy. You can’t say yes to everything, and that’s OK. It’s all about prioritizing what truly matters to you. Trust me, once you’re honest about your capacity, you can make better decisions about where ..read more

Publishers have to make a lot of judgment calls about how to structure their leave — especially if it’s for a month or more — and answer questions about when to tell readers, whether to schedule sends while they’re off and how to keep growing their operation while they’re away.
Great advice from Inbox Collective on how to take a break and ideas for communicating with your audience before you do. You’ll see a familiar name in this one!
I love that this is being discussed. Some folks say you are not serious if you take a break without batching tons of content beforehand. But I believe that, l ..read more

“For them, the day job is a feature, not a bug, and they don’t have dreams of working in coffee shops and trapezing around the globe. They’re perfectly fulfilled creating their content on nights and weekends, and any revenue they generate from that content is just an added bonus.”
I love Simon’s post about this because it highlights some benefits of a side hustle: diversifying income, daily structure, and collaborating with others. There are some of us () who love our day jobs but also want to have something of our own.
The #sidehustlelife allows us to have the best of both worlds; as you ca ..read more

It can be hard to show up consistently (even for me). And some days, it just makes sense to take a break.
There are hard days, days where I have no energy, days when life (& work) gets in the way. So I assembled a few tricks to help me show up even on the shitty days.
I like Ev’s suggestion of preparing for those inevitable hard days. I especially love her idea of “working overtime on your good days.” I’m starting to pay a lot more attention to my energy and trying to get as much done as possible when my energy is high.
Is there an idea here you can use on your hard days?

“You’re not going to get a zillion visitors in the early days. But if you can spark and maintain solid relationships with the ones you do get, you’ll start to pick up momentum.”
I especially love #2 – where you answer every question you’ve seen, read, or heard about for your topic. And create Q&A posts. By addressing common questions your audience may have you not only improve your SEO but also provide valuable content. This approach also ensures you have ideas to write about, even when feeling stuck.
