Working from home taught us several things and one of them, no doubt, is that we were wrong if we thought that spending more time in the house will let us complete all our projects. Many of us struggle to achieve personal and professional plans, even when we barely leave the house. The problem is not the number of hours we have but how we use them. Still, the solution is in our hands, and it requires little effort, consistency, and self-awareness: time management. 


Joining me today is Trevor Lohrbeer, serial entrepreneur, Founder of Strategic Life Tools, and Lead Writer at Lean Decisions. He is also the creator and founder of Day Optimizer, an app designed to convert entrepreneurs' and consultants' daily to-do lists into a daily schedule to help them leverage their activities and achieve more using their time more efficiently. 


We had a fantastic and enlightening conversation about time management and how important it is to acknowledge first what kind of person we are before implementing any action plan. According to Trevor, this is central; since morning birds and night owls are creative and active at different times, their schedules and planning should also be distinctive. We talked about how to deal with interruptions, and he kindly shared some tools to fight procrastination. Trevor also shared beautiful insights about branding and visual branding, tips for entrepreneurs, and much more.
