How I Manage to Get Things DONE - Corporate Job, Talk Show Host, and Influencer!

Hey guys! I often get asked how I am able to get so much done while having a 9-5 job and I will spill all the tea on this blog post. First and foremost let me start by saying that in order for you to be productive, you have to have a productive mindset. What is a productive mindset? It's about finding efficient and effective ways to get things done. People with a productivity mindset don't just focus on outputs, they also focus on inputs.

Corporate America:

Earlier this year I returned back to corporate America after taking an entire year off to focus on my influencer business and other endeavors. Doing so helped me build character and discipline because I had to hustle every day in order to pay my bills. Although it wasn't always easy, in the end it worked out; but I also missed having that consistent check hit my account and that's why I decided to return. Nevertheless, I was very intentional with finding a job that gives me the perfect work-life balance and flexibility to still do what I need to do with my creative projects.

Talk Show Host:

I've always dreamed of having my own podcast/talk show. I love to have deep conversations with people and I always found myself giving other's advise in the midst of our conversations. So, I felt like it was only right to create my own platform and so far, so good!

I have to be VERY detailed and keep everything on my calendar these days because I don't, I will forget. So I have scheduled days when we film we make sure to get 3-4 episodes done in a weekend. BATCH creating is where is at. I find this very helpful and that is how I am able to stay consistent in these internet streets.

Influencer + Content Creator:

The beauty of being a lifestyle influencer with experience is that I have the leverage to create about my life (things that are happening, fashion, hair and makeup) so, I don't find it difficult because I am often on the go and I use that time to create. Some days are easier than others, but I really enjoy creating. It's part of my lifestyle at this point and it has gotten so much easier and natural.

I have to admit that my content has been a bit over the place for the last 6 months, but I am working on a content calendar to help me be more intentional with the content I release. Overall, It is so important to keep a calendar and being mindful of time management; if your time management suck you will never be organized with your time.

Me Time:

As much as I work, I also make sure I make time for myself. I know when to put the phone down and when to bring it out to create memories with the people I love. This is super important for me because slowing down is necessary for your physical and mental health. You have to be intentional with your "ME TIME" just as much as you are with being productive.
