Setting the Tone

‍

I have a no-phone policy every morning. These moments of undisturbed inward focus create the mental space I need.

‍

Afternoon Reset

‍

By noon, most of my core tasks are done and fatigue starts to set in. A quick walk serves as my reboot, refreshing me for the rest of the day's demands.

‍

Task Prioritisation

‍

I schedule blocks of intense focus for urgent work. It's a way to make sure I get the most out of my peak productive times.

‍

Knowledge as a Daily Diet

‍

I read articles related to mine or my clients' fields every single day. It’s a way to keep myself updated with the latest trends, breakthroughs, and emerging theories in design and branding.

‍

Setting Boundaries

‍

One of the most important lessons I've learned is the ability to say 'no' to projects and engagements that do not align with my objectives or values. By setting clear boundaries, I safeguard my time and energy for plans that truly matter.

‍

"These habits not only shape my day but have also been instrumental in crafting the distinguished career I enjoy today."

‍

Hands-On Leadership

‍

I love my team! They're invaluable to the work we do. Once a week, we come together not just for business but for a genuine catch-up. Whether we're brainstorming the next big idea or sharing the latest TikTok trends, these moments strengthen our team dynamics. (Plus, they're just so much fun.)

‍

Time Management

‍

My Apple calendar is my lifeline; it's where I schedule everything, from work meetings to personal appointments. Designating specific slots for emails, project management, and creative tasks ensures that I'm able to maintain a balanced focus on both urgent tasks and long-term objectives.

‍

Data-Driven Decision Making

‍

In both my personal and professional decisions, data plays a crucial role. Whether it’s tracking the ROI of an ad campaign or evaluating team performance, informed decisions are at the core of my approach.

‍

Unplugging

‍

I turn off my devices an hour before bed. It's my way to wind down and get in a quick read. I'm currently halfway through Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before?
