Scheduling work

After a few manic weeks with my other trainer away, things have calmed down a little.

Time to trim down my appointment calendar. The last few days I have been working through my clients that I normally take in the evening and started to prepare to move them to Jess instead. The overall aim is to only take clients in the mornings, Monday thru to Thursday 07:00 to 14:00

All afternoons, evenings as well as my current fridays and weekends will be free!

What does this allow me to do. By segmenting my day like this, I can clearly set time to do more specific tasks, so mornings for appointments, afternoons for my own workouts then working on my business and other projects, then the evening is free to spend with my wife and/or shooting, snowboarding etc etc. something that is sadly lacking in my current calendar.

With the Corporate Athlete project getting close to live, despite the busiest period I have had with appointments, I know that future projects will come easier.

I spoke with Ben the other day and we talked about scheduling and planning your week, I passed him the Weekly Planner from the 7 habits book, which has helped me enourmously over the last 12 months and has become a very powerful tool for my other trainer too.

If you have not got a copy of this book or the planner, get it now!
