Multitasking isn’t just a productivity-killer, it’s a recipe for unfocused and fragmented work. Focusing on a single project for an extended period is a skill that requires cultivation.
Instead, consider the key themes forming your work life. These might include creative work, business development, sales, customer outreach, administration, marketing, design, etc.. Now, while planning your week, map a theme to each day. During a normal workday, spend two-to-three hours on tasks related to your chosen themes. If you can spend longer or even the entire day , that's great. If not, adapt accordingly.
Instead, you're spending Mondays on marketing, Tuesdays on hiring, Wednesdays on creative work, Thursdays on business development and Fridays on administrative tasks. You could even plot these themes in your calendar and hold yourself accountable by tracking how long you focus on each theme. Say you want to write a business book this quarter. Creative work represents a theme for the next three months, so break writing the book down into smaller themes like writing, research and editing.
