Description

Feeling stuck staring at a never-ending to-do list? As a busy creative, deciding where to focus your energy can feel overwhelming β€” especially when everything feels important right now.


In this episode, I share a simple prioritization framework I’ve been using for almost 10 years: the Time Value Matrix. It’s a practical tool that helps you cut through the noise, focus on the tasks that actually move your business forward, and reduce time spent on the low-value work that drains your energy.


You’ll learn:




  • The 4 categories of tasks (A, B, C, and D) β€” and why knowing the difference is game-changing




  • How to spot your A-level, revenue-ready tasks (the ones with the biggest ROI)




  • Examples of how this works for digital creators, crafters, and artists




  • Considerations for letting AI help you with low-value tasks




πŸ‘‰ Challenge for today: Take your current to-do list and run it through the Time Value Matrix. Circle one A-level task and tackle it first.
