“…having some sort of meditation and stillness throughout the day can greatly benefit your concentration and your work.”


Take some “me” time

 A great time management tip for busy entrepreneurs is to plan out your workday. And, schedule in some time for yourself. We all have heard of burn out, haven’t we? And now more than ever it has become easier to quickly fall into burnout when we stop differentiating our work hours from personal hours. So, a great tip from EC to all Entrepreneurs out there is to really schedule 3 things as best as you can. Work hours, Physical Exercise Hour, and Mindfulness time. According to many studies, having some sort of meditation and stillness throughout the day can greatly benefit. Ones concentration and their work. Pro Tip: Do some intense exercise 3 times a week that really makes you break a sweat. Then while you rest, listen to some guided. Your body and mind can thank us later 😊. 

Bio-hack yourself

This final tip and trick is to hack your mind in a way that can train it. The trick is to train your mind to be more effective. When listening to something with which you associate it with. One tip of ours is to listen to music that helps you concentrate when working. Many people tend to listen to music that they like when working. But, the problem with this is that your mind does not associate a song with work. If you listen to songs that you listen to while at a party, but also listen to them while working. Its possible that your mind may just be singing the songs instead of getting you in that productive flow. So, try experimenting and listening to music with no words and just pure chill instrumental. It might help you save time and keep you more focused. 


We are all busy entrepreneurs that have a million things on our mind at one time. And, helping to train the mind and get into that productive flow state can be quiet challenging. But by following our tips and tricks for time management, it may be possible to crush those entrepreneurial goals easily.
