Ask Sarah: getting organized and staying focused when working from home
Q: I am overwhelmed by everything on my plate right now. I have lists and calendars everywhere and I still feel unorganized.
A: My recommendation is to brain dump, organize, and prioritize.
At the start of each month create one master list: business admin, marketing, clients tasks, personal stuff, all of it.
Next divide the list by date: things that need to happen this week, this month, this quarter, and someday.
Then, focusing on just this month, separate them back into biz and personal lists and prioritize. Things that have a deadline or generate income go first. Finish your client mockup and send that email to your list!

I sat down today to MAKE A SURVEY for my audience but then I opened my inbox for a password and here’s what I did instead:
I noticed that I had an email from one of the companies I’m an affiliate for. I needed to update my affiliate link for a new 30 day promotion.
So I opened my Squarespace to update my website’s resources page and remembered I wanted to update my homepage photo. Tested multiple photos, decided I didn’t like any of them and put back the original.
