Staying ahead of the emails constantly streaming into your inbox can feel like a never-ending black hole. As an entrepreneur, your time is better spent managing your small business and delivering to your customers - not trying to find that Zoom link email or not knowing if you responded to that client request.

Every entrepreneur wants to sit down at their desk in the morning not feeling behind or buried in administrative work. You want everything you need at your fingertips and distractions held at bay.

The problem is that we sometimes have workplace culture expectations about responding to emails quickly and being available during non-work hours via our smartphones. When you combine that with not having the systems or tools in place to organize and declutter your email inbox, the time lost trying to manage your emails can take a significant amount out of your productivity time.

After several years in business, I have fine-tuned a few strategies for not only managing my email inbox effectively but also how to actually get to Inbox Zero consistently. The tips, hacks, and tools work with each other and protect my precious time and attention. I encourage you to try any and/or all of them and see what works for you!

Every online entrepreneur wants to learn how to market their business in a way that feels good and actually works to generate leads and sales. Somewhere along the way, you might have heard that Pinterest marketing is one of the best organic traffic sources to market your business.

Pinterest isn’t another social media platform - it’s a visual search engine that uses keywords to show the right content to the right users. People go to Pinterest when they’re looking to solve a problem or get ideas and inspiration for a project. By using the right keywords and having scroll-stopping graphics for your content, Pinterest will suggest your blog, or lead magnet, or product to the users it thinks needs it.

The problem is, there is a lot of old, outdated content out there for how to use Pinterest as a marketing strategy for your business. Many of those teachings rely on hacks and gaming-the-system advice that are now likely to get your profile marked as spam.

Some of the advice assumes that you are sitting around in your yoga pants all day with coffee that’s still hot, manually pinning your content several times a day. We all know that’s not real life, and your daily routine can’t revolve around Pinterest.

Add to that the fact that Pinterest has gone through some MAJOR shifts in their platform and algorithms in the last couple of years, and it’s hard to sift through what now makes a good Pinterest marketing strategy, and what routines or processes will get you nowhere fast.

We all want to believe we can better ourselves and change bad habits. Much like starting a new diet on Monday, New Years Day provides a starting point that the whole world can get behind. Much ado is made of January 1st and resolutions - and for good reason.

I have both stuck with and broken many resolutions over the years. But like with most goals, the idea and the vision in my head of what life would be like once I made those changes is far more romantic than the reality. The reality is we have deeply cut neural pathways that define our behavior - and changing those habits is a feat like no other.

I don't know about you, but although I know myself to be a fiercely determined individual - I'm not really keen on setting myself up for negative self-talk from the beginning of the year.

Anytime you realize something isn’t working for you, your business, or your life - is a good time to make a plan to improve.

More than any other technique or plan I have tried, I know that creating more simplicity in my life is the quickest path to improving habits.

Who doesn’t love a good productivity tip or hack? It’s easy to believe if we find the right app or trick, we’ll magically become more productive and check off the never-ending to-do list. But getting more done in your day is about more than the perfect tip - it’s about understanding your own ideal week and how you work best.

When I started my own business, I had part-time child care for my toddler and no idea how to structure my day. Then I read a few blogs about time blocking and thought I had discovered scheduling magic pixie dust. I mean, who doesn’t love a good system?

Have you ever wondered how you can better take advantage of the holiday season traffic spike on Pinterest? It can be hard to think of new and useful ways to market your business on Pinterest if your business is something other than DIY, decor, fashion, or food. This easy guide is actually helpful for those of you that aren’t in a classic Pinterest category to still ride the wave of Pinterest holiday traffic.

The holiday season on Pinterest is full of decor ideas, inspirational DIY crafts, and homemade comfort food recipes. Typically the amount of traffic coming to Pinterest spikes during the holiday season, and searches for all things Christmas and the Holidays start showing in summer.

One of the most common questions I get from members of Pin Power Method is how to take advantage of this seasonal traffic spike if their business doesn’t relate to what we think of as those “classic” Pinterest categories.

One of the most challenging things about owning a small business or being an online entrepreneur is how to keep track of your time, tasks, and projects.

If you spend any time searching on Pinterest for planner inspiration, you’ll quickly see that bullet journals, digital and printable planner ideas, and creating your own DIY planners are everywhere.

In fact, my Planners board on Pinterest is consistently one of the most engaged with and active boards on my profile. I could spend all night saving Pins for minimal bullet journal spreads - the simplicity and ease make me so happy!

But as anyone who’s attempted to dive deep into the bujo life can attest to - it takes time to create those spreads every day, week, and month - time that is in short supply these days with online school now another to-do.

On the other hand, finding the “perfect” planner that’s pre-made and works with your needs and planning style can be near impossible.

When I re-did my office floor a few months ago, I took the opportunity to clear out some old office supplies. I tossed 8 different printed/bound planners that I had tried over the years and didn’t quite fit what I needed.

I knew I wanted to create my own planner that combined keeping track of my Pinterest content marketing, plus goals and monthly and weekly spreads.
