To learn about the 3 pillars, download the worksheet using this link. And be sure to review and fill it out for your business. Once you have determined your pillars and tasks, then do a time audit. A time audit is writing down how you are spending your time.
Once you have done a week of time auditing, take a look at which items you are focusing on in each pillar. Are there tasks which you are avoiding? For more on scheduling success, check out this blog post.
