✨SIDE HUSTLE 101✨ When I first started @MadeByKwest, I had to get ORGANIZED. Here are some of my best tips for staying organized with your time and using tools to manage your side hustle: 📝Separate your to-do lists: One of my keys to staying organized has been creating separate to-do lists for my full-time job, business, and home stuff. Having everything in one place is too overwhelming. Keeping separate lists helps me to keep track of my progress and easily know my priorities for the day in my job, business, and at home. 🗓Create separate emails and calendars: Having different email addresses and calendar accounts can help you make sure you don’t miss anything! I would definitely recommend creating a new email when you start your side hustle to keep track of everything related to your business. ⏰Lean into times when you’re more productive: This could mean rethinking your morning and evening routines. Personally, I’m more creative in the morning. So I focus on creative tasks in the morning to have a fresh mind for the things that require more creative thinking. The key to a good morning routine starts with your bedtime. I’m pretty diligent about getting to bed by 9:00 or 9:30, so I can fully utilize the time I work best. 🏝 Leverage time off, PTO and weekends: Make wise use of your days off to work on your side hustle! Schedule workdays with specific goals during your time off. 👩🏽‍💻 Plan ahead and batch work: Batching work and social media content will help you be able to balance your responsibilities and focus on one thing at a time. 💃🏻Know when to outsource: I realize that some aspects of running a business come more naturally to me than others. I work with contractors who are experts in what they do so I can focus on the parts of my side hustle that I love. 🛀🏼Be mindful of burnout and schedule time off: Make sure you have time built into your schedule for recreation. It’s easy to burn out if you’re hustling 24/7, so set aside actual time off from all of your tasks. Featured: The Everywhere Tee #madebykwest
