Turbo-charge productivity and organization

Time blocking holds the key to revolutionizing productivity, by splitting your day into structured, dedicated sections of activity. Its essence lies in targeting and reducing decision fatigue, which can often be the root cause of procrastination and under-productivity. With time blocking, each day is carefully organized and planned, allowing for prioritization of tasks and creating a sense of order which helps you make the most of your time.

Balance priorities with glass and plastic balls

The concept of glass and plastic balls provides a powerful analogy for balancing life and work priorities. Glass balls represent tasks that hold a high degree of importance and urgency - these are tasks you cannot afford to drop. On the other hand, the plastic balls symbolize tasks that carry less significance and can be set aside when times get busy. This strategy equips you with the discernment for prioritizing tasks according to their value and anticipated outcome.

Devise a customized time blocking schedule

Designing a time blocking strategy that fits your unique schedule and commitments is vital for leveraging its potential. This approach offers flexibility, as your blocks can vary from week to week, depending on your prioritized tasks and circumstances. Recognizing that routines can shift and change is important - by giving yourself the grace to adjust your schedule as required, you can create a time blocking system that best serves your individual needs.

This involves making strategic alterations such as using local area descriptors in your profile and optimizing your Pinterest boards with relevant, searchable names.

Using location-based keywords for search rankings

Given the importance of local business for photographers, incorporating location-based keywords is a great strategy to improve search rankings. This involves implementing specific local names or terms in your Pinterest profile, boards, and image descriptions. These additions can significantly increase your searchability and reach, potentially drawing in clients looking for photography services in their local area.

Leveraging Tailwind for pin scheduling
