In this episode — aimed squarely at entrepreneurs, freelancers, and bloggers — Kitty and I attempt to answer questions like:
- What do you do when you’re an entrepreneur who has to handle many different tasks?
- How do you decide what to focus on, when you have so many things that you just can’t everything else?
- How do you manage mental, physical, and emotional resources?
- What happens to your brainpower, your energy, your focus, and balance during the day?
And, most importantly, as a blogger, freelancer, or solopreneur, how the heck do you manage your time better to reduce your stress and get it all done???

Resources from the Podcast
As always, here are links to the resources we discussed during the episode.
- Eisenhower Decision Matrix — are your tasks urgent but not important? Not urgent but vital? Here’s the printable that Kitty describes in this episode, to help you decide where to focus your time.
- Trello — This is my favorite tool for staying on top of projects and keeping track of to-dos. I even use it to collaborate with clients. Available for all platforms so you can use it on any device.
- Toggle — I use it for time tracking. It’s super simple, and you can use it on your computer, tablet, or phone.
- Time Budget — we introduced this in Episode 7, and there’s an earlybird version for you people who like to get up with the sun, and a night owl version for people like me.
