This week’s episode of Inbox Bestie is actually a listener’s question submitted through a Q&A on my Instagram Stories.
Tips for being an how to I held being a business owner and entrepreneur with ADHD
1. Use Notion.so to write out/outline all your free & paid content - you can easy reorder things
2. Write THEN reorder your to-do list.
     Start with the quickest and fast thing. Breakdown big things to smaller parts          underneath it. Like:
Write Sales Page
FAQ
Deliverables
Intro
I use the regular Notes App (on my Ipad & Apple Pencil) and use the lasso feature to reorder but you could write ____ instead of number when writing out your list then ASSIGN it a number after.
3. Have people days is the best tip I have (Nothing is worst for productivity then having 1pm or 2pm appointments)*
4. Try Mini-Batching (Can you film just 2 reels, write 2 emails, come up with just two blog post ideas?)
5. Host/Go to co-working sessions (it’s body doubling)
6. Set timers (but not ones with seconds - I use this free chrome extension)
7. Hirer a finisher - This can be a ONE OFF hire on like upwork or Fivver so you don’t have to worry about the full hiring and interview process or see if service provider you like offers VIP days.
Bonus: Find a simple project management tool (I’d avoid Clickup)
Bonus Bonus Tip (Not in a show) - Sometimes you just need to hire a coach to keep you in line.
