Hey all - I’m Katy and I lead Riskonnect’s (B2B SaaS) Global Social Media program. 

My best productivity tip is: Schedule time to get specific tasks done on your calendar. 

 

Scheduling a specific time to get work for Social done is so helpful - especially for folks like me who work with global colleagues, that may lean towards scheduling a meeting first thing in the morning (when a social post is set to go out, or to be checked on once live). 

 

This can mean either time-blocking so that you always have time in the day to get work for Social done, or it can mean adding mandatory time into your day for both on and off the clock time. 

I’ve recently gotten into this! It’s nice being able to show people that I’m actually busy working. But it’s taking some time for people to realize that me being busy and actively trying to get something done in the time that I’ve blocked off for myself means that I’m not free to take on something else in that moment.

Ohmigosh, yes! Adding time blocks for focused work is so helpful to control meeting creep. If your company uses MS 365 there’s a feature in Outlook to set recurring focus time - part of the Viva Insights add on. I think MS Teams also has quiet time to block notifications.
