On this episode of The Indie Made Business Podcast, we’re tackling the endless to-do list that every handmade business owner knows all too well. Overwhelm ends here! We’re diving into five actionable tips that will help you take control of your day, focus on what truly matters, and build real momentum in your business.
Each tip is designed to help you stop spinning your wheels and start making meaningful progress—without burning out.
Timestamps & Key Takeaways:
[00:02:21] Tip 1: Prioritize Your Tasks
Use the Eisenhower Matrix to categorize tasks into four groups
(urgent/important, important/not urgent, etc.) and focus on what
truly drives your business forward.
[00:04:54] Tip 2: Break Tasks into Smaller
Steps
Overcome task paralysis by breaking big projects into manageable
actions. Example: Launching a new collection? Break it down into
steps like writing product descriptions or taking photos.
[00:06:01] Tip 3: Use Time Blocking
Assign dedicated time slots to specific tasks to avoid distractions
and improve productivity. Test methods like the Pomodoro technique
or uninterrupted work blocks to find your rhythm.
[00:07:10] Tip 4: Apply the Two-Minute Rule
If a task takes two minutes or less, tackle it immediately to
prevent minor tasks from piling up and stealing mental space.
[00:07:53] Tip 5: Set Realistic
Expectations
Avoid overloading your to-do list. Instead, focus on what’s
achievable and plan with flexibility to accommodate unexpected
changes.
