Hello, hello, hello and welcome to the Food Blogger Pro Podcast. This is a solo episode and it is where I, Bjork Ostrom, just share some thoughts sitting here talking into a microphone and hopefully those thoughts, ideas, concepts, whatever they might be, have an impact on you and the work that you do. That is why we create this podcast. That is why we show up here every week. Because our hope, our desire is to have an impact on you and the things that you are doing, whether that be in the specific space of growing, building and eventually creating a business out of a food or recipe blog. We have hundreds and thousands of people who have different stories of doing that and having success in this really specific niche that we've decided talk about, which is food blogging. But also there's a lot of you that listen who are from all different types of businesses. You're interested in digital businesses, probably things online. But there's a lot of people that listen to this podcast who don't have a specific or aren't in the specific niche of food or recipes, but they just want to see what other people are doing. They want to hear what other people are doing. And that's what I'm going to be doing. On today's podcast, I'm going to be sharing about some of the routines that I have. And these might be some routines that you'll be able to pick up and apply to your day to day or week to week or month to month. And the great thing about routines is that once you put them into place, they kind of run on their own. You're not having to remember to do them every day because they are a routine. They're something that continually show up on your calendar or in your task list, maybe use a certain to do app. And I'm going to be talking about not only how I schedule these routines and how they're a part of my normal day, but also specifically what they are. And what I've found is that some of the boring, methodical things that I do on a day to day or week to week or month to month basis are some of the most important things. And that's why I schedule them and make time for them. Even though there's oftentimes some urgent thing that could happen. These non urgent things, as you layer them in, as they become a foundational part of how you operate. These non urgent things that are routines can become really valuable over time. So let's go ahead and jump in. There's gonna be five different routines that I'm gonna be talking about here Today. And they're not all in one category. These are just things that I thought of as I was thinking through. Hey, what are some of the most important routines that I have as it relates to the businesses that we do that maybe other people could pick up as well? So we're gonna talk through each one of those. I'm also gonna share how I schedule those so I don't forget about them. Number one, daily filtering of non urgent emails and a monthly or weekly review. Now those of you who have been doing this for a while, or even those of you who haven't know that email is a beast, right? It's one of the primary ways that we communicate, but it's also one of the primary ways that people market and pass along non urgent information. And what I've learned over the years is that in order to be truly productive, I need to approach email intentionally. I need to think really hard about how I handle email because if I don't, I could just spend all day emailing and a lot of you can probably relate to that. So one of the routines that I have developed is filtering non urgent emails and then reviewing those on a weekly basis. Now for some of them it ends up being monthly because they're extremely non urgent. But for the most part, I try and do this on a weekly basis. And one of the things I'm gonna be talking about here is another routine is this idea of a weekly review. And during the weekly review is oftentimes when I go and filter through or look through the filtered emails that I have. So what exactly does this look like? Well, the first thing to know is that this is an ongoing thing. It's kind of like weeding a garden. Filtering your emails is kind of similar to what it would be like when you weed a garden. You don't just do it once and then forget about it. You're having to constantly do it. And I'm doing this on a daily basis. So anyt I get an email in that I would consider non urgent, but I still want to be aware of, I filter that. And this is specifically for Gmail. But what, what filtering means is that you create certain parameters that will be applied to an email that comes in. And if that email checks all of those different boxes, it will, it'll get filtered into a certain label. Now in Gmail, labels are similar to folders. And essentially what that means is it doesn't go in your inbox. And the trick here is to know that the distracted brain will see an email come in and it will Read it or respond to it, or get distracted by it. And it can be a huge drag on productivity. So the filters that I set up are for these basic labels. There's a few different more or a few more, but these are the most important labels that I have. So number one is receipts. It's amazing whether it be Amazon or, or products that I'm subscribed to or that we use within our business, how many times I get an email for different receipts. And this actually ties into another thing that we do, number three, the quarterly bank review, which I'm gonna talk about a little bit. But this can also happen with receipts. But when a receipt comes in, I don't wanna see that right away. I probably know that I made that purchase and it's just distracting to have to filter those or work through those in real time. So that's one of the labels that I have. Another one is called and Learning is probably the most active label. There's the most kind of random information coming in there. And in the Learning label, I'm putting all of the different emails that I want to be subscribed to that I want to be aware of, but I don't necessarily want to process through that in the middle of my day. An example would be Yoast WordPress plugins. So Yoast has some really important SEO plugins and they're important for what we do on Pinch of Yum and food blogger pro, W.P. tasty, the board for everything that we do. So I want to be aware of what's happening. Another example is Google Search Console. So I'm subscribed to the Google Search Console blog updates. I don't want to read through those on a random day when I'm just about to record a podcast like I'm doing now. So I want to filter those, but I still want to make time to read those, but I want to opt in to when I consume that content. So all of those go into a label called Learning. The other one is called Investments. And that's like any investment type content, it's kind of like Learning, but it has to do with angel investing. And any type of like investment oriented content goes into that label. And then the Food Blogger Pro forum. So I'm subscribed to the Food Blogger Pro forum. So I get a notification anytime somebody posts. But as you can imagine, that would be a lot of content that I'd have to go through in real time because the forum is very, very active. And we're. When those emails come in, I don't Want to have to process those in real time. So I have those go into a label as well. Those are the most important labels that I have. Now, how does that work? Well, anytime that I get an email in that I know lands in one of those buckets, what I do is in Gmail, I say filter messages like this. And what that will do is it will start the process of me being able to build a filter. Now, a couple quick tips of things that you can do. Number one, sometimes I will get emails from somebody that I'm interested in, getting the updates, the notifications, or maybe it's like a newsletter subscription. But that person also would maybe email me just as a friend. And an example would be Mark Doust, who has an agency called Quiet Light Brokerage. It's actually a brokerage, not an agency. But what they do is they buy and sell websites. And that's not something that we're doing actively, but I'm always interested in that industry and kind of following along more than anything, just as somebody who wants to learn about how people are building websites that they eventually sell or acquiring websites, and then building. And then building those after they acquire them. So I love to get those notifications, and I'm super interested in what they're doing. And I'm also emailing with Mark just occasionally as a friend, and we get together and, you know, he shares industry trends and what's happening and changes that are making, and so he really has an interesting look into the world of online businesses. But I don't want to filter messages from Mark that are actually messages to me, not newsletters. So what do I do? Well, a quick tip is that if that exists for you and you want to make sure that you don't filter those out, what I do is I will filter any message that comes in from Mark's email address, but I'll make sure that it only gets filtered if it has the word unsubscribe in it. And I know that, you know, Mark's not going to email me and say, hey, would you want to unsubscribe from this? If it's a personal email, but the notifications will have an unsubscribe in it. So that's a. It's a quick little tip, something that I use quite a bit as a filtering mechanism for any interactions that I have with somebody who has both a marketing email or notifications that come from blog posts. But also I'm emailing on a personal level. So if that is something that you feel like, if you feel like you've ever been overwhelmed by email and can't process through all of your email. There's a good chance that part of the reason that that's happening is because a lot of the emails aren't emails that you actually need to process through in real time. You could wait a month or sometimes I even wait two months to process through the learning folder, the learning label that I have in Gmail. Because that doesn't need a quick response. It's just a way for me. It's kind of like reading a book. It's just a way for me to consume information and I don't need to process that. Another quick tip here is once you read through those emails and you've processed them, what I do is I remove them from the label. So all email comes into my inbox. I've turned off for Gmail. I've turned off all of the other, like, automatic filtering that happens. So if you use Gmail, you know that there's those other buckets that email can land into, like promotion or, you know, I forget what the other ones are because I haven't turned off. But there's these other buckets that they. Gmail automatically filters those. I've turned those off. So everything comes into my inbox. And then I'm manually picking. I'm saying I want these emails to go into these labels. They skip my inbox. So I don't ever see them in my inbox. They just skip my inbox. They're still viewed as unread, but they land in those labels. Now, another quick tip is I only have my labels show up in Gmail and if there is an unread message in them. So I know that at the end of the week, let's say that I go through and I process all of the receipts that I have. What I do is I will process the receipt. I forward any of the relevant receipts to Shoeboxed for each of the businesses we have. So then Shoeboxed will store a digital copy of that receipt. And then what I do is I mark the message, I remove the label. So then it moves it out of the label and it technically, within Gmail, it goes into all mail. So the system that I have, kind of the funnel is everything into Inbox, and then on a daily basis, I'm filtering those into specific labels, if they should be applied to a label. So then they'll skip the inbox in the future. And then once a week or on some occasions, if it's not as important, once a month, I'll go through and I'll process all of those different labels and try and get those to zero. So it's kind of like different versions of Inbox zero. I'm trying to get to Inbox zero as much as possible in my actual inbox. But the trick is my actual inbox is as much as possible things that I actually need to process through in real time. And if they're not, then they go on a label. And then once a week or once a month, I'll get those labels to label zero. I'll filter everything or I'll go through and process through everything, remove them from the label. So eventually everything just goes into all mail and I am neat and tidy in my inbox. And also I don't miss any of those important things that I want to process through eventually, but not in real time. So that's a lot. But I think there's going to be some people who listen to this podcast who are like, oh my gosh, that's something that I can apply now. It doesn't have to be exactly like that. You can use your own version. But I think there are going to. There, there, there are a lot of people here that listen to the podcast who email. It's a big issue. And what you need to do is intentionally approach it and say, how can I continually improve this and make it more approachable? So that was, number one, daily filtering of non urgent emails and then a weekly or monthly review. Speaking of weekly or monthly review, one of the things that I do on a daily basis is a daily routine, a daily review. I kind of look at the day ahead and that is something that actually shows up as a recurring item. I use a task manager called things, but maybe you use asana or something like trello. But with Things, I have to show up as a daily reminder. So it's the first thing that I do when I'm building my day. I say, okay, my morning routine. What am I gonna do with my morning routine? And now it's not super intense, there's not a lot to it, but it's essentially a list of things that I do to start my day off. A few of the things that are on that that have been really helpful. Number one, I just do a review of the calendar. So I look ahead. And what I try and do is every day I try and look ahead at the week. Now it might seem a little bit repetitive to look ahead at the week every day because you're gonna be continually reviewing these things that are coming up. But I found that to be really helpful. So I'm not forgetting anything that's coming up. And I have a little bit of a mental framework of how the week will unfold. So every day I'm reviewing the calendar not only for that day, which is really important, but also for the upcoming week. And as things need to change or tweak or adjust with my calendar, I can do that on that day. And maybe it involves emailing somebody and saying, hey, can we change this date? I saw that there's a conflict, or just within my own calendar saying, oh, I know that I have this thing like a podcast recording, which I'm doing today. I need to make sure that I make time for that. And when am I going to do that? I'll put that in my calendar and make sure that I hit that. The other thing that I do is I review my actual tasks. So in my calendar, those are things that I know that I need to be at a certain place at a certain time, and I know I need to do it. Then I also have tasks that are happening, and those tasks can be done in between the time that I have for the actual scheduled items that day. So an example would be responding to Food Blogger Pro form threads. So that can kind of fit in at a certain point. I don't necessarily have to schedule it. I know that I need to make my scheduled things happen, whether it be this podcast recording or meeting with somebody. But I don't necessarily have to make the Food Blogger Pro forum responses happen at a certain time. So I can put that as a task and that will show up. And I know that as I work through my day, the different tasks, I can go ahead and cross those off the list. So I'm reviewing the day and then also building that day. And what does it mean to build the day? Well, I sort order the things that are most important. And one of the cool things about things, which is again, the. The app that I use to do this, is that you can put things in your day to do list, but then there's also a way you can drop it into the evening. So I also have things that I don't need to do throughout the day. I just drop those into the evening area. And so I'm not looking at those or concerned with those, but I still need to do those today. An example is I've been on this campaign to attempt to reduce the amount of hair that we have to deal with from our dog, Sage. So I have this recurring routine that comes up in the evening where I say, brush Sage, because if I didn't have that on there, I would forget about it. And Sage is a shedding machine and we love her regardless. But it is one of the things we have to deal with with Sage is all of that shedding. So that's on my list for this evening is to brush Sage. Now, it's not something that I want to be thinking about while I'm at work. So I just drop that into this evening and know that when I get back home, that's one of the things that I need to hit. And in reviewing the day, I'll organize and say, okay, what are the most important things? What am I going to start with? And then what are the things that aren't as important or that can be done later? And I'll drop those into this evening. And so it's kind of a sort ordered list of things that I need to hit, sorted by what's most important or what I need to do right away. And then at the bottom are the things that I can wait on or that I'm doing when I get home. So every day I actually am reviewing that as part of my daily routine. So it's a little bit of task inception, but I have every morning a task that says morning routine. And it's review the calendar, review the day. And then also one of the things that I try to be intentional about is spending some time journaling. And it's not a lot and it's just pretty quick. It's actually just doing the five Minute Journal. And for those of you who have listened to the Food Blogger Pro podcast for a while, you know that we did an episode way back when, episode 1 24, and we talked to one of the founders of the Five Minute Journal, uj, and he talks about some of the ways that you can be using the five Minute Journal to increase your or to be intentional about gratitude and the ability for gratitude to have an impact in all different areas in your life and then also to reflect on your day at the end of the day. So that's one of the things that I try and do. I'm not 100% with it, but it is something that I have as a recurring task that I try and hit often. So that could be true for you. Maybe you have something that you want to make sure that you're doing on a daily basis. You can create a little task that's a recurring item. It's a routine that you have and you say, these are the things that I want to do every morning to start out now you could just remember that in your head. But what I found is it's really helpful to have something where you can actually go in and say every morning, here's what I'm going to do, check, check, check. That's going to help you build that routine. And after a while it would become second nature. You won't need to think about it. But sometimes we need that little framework to help us to move in the direction of establishing the habit. So that's number two, the daily routine. So number one was filtering of non urgent emails and doing a weekly or monthly review. It's a great routine to get into. Number two, a daily routine of going through the things that are most important to you in the morning and you can also do that at night. So you can have a morning and evening daily routine that you hit. Number three is the routine of a quarterly bank review. Now some of you I know are gonna think about this and you're gonna be like, ugh, this is super boring. And here's what I have to say. It actually is, it is terribly boring. And it is not necessarily something that I look. So what I do is I, I try and make it a little bit more interesting by doing something like getting my favorite cup of coffee and going somewhere different that's kind of fun to hang out at. And it kind of helps, but not necessarily. But it's a really important routine for me because what I've found is, especially over the years, as there starts to be more expenses related to the businesses that we have, there can be a lot of little things that sneak in as recurring payments that you don't actually need or that you did need at one point but you aren't using anymore. So what I do is I literally sit down at the computer, log in and I go line by line, I switch it. So I'm just looking at the expenses, but I go line by line and I make sure that I understand for the past three months, every single transaction that's coming through for the business. And I think about it in two different ways really. One is, do we need this? Is this something that we still need? And is it, does it make sense to continue to pay for this? If not, I cancel it. And that's an immediate win that you can have for your business because you've just increased the profitability of your business by canceling something you don't need. Number two, this is something that we do probably more often. A lot of times we actually do need the thing and we know that we will need that Service or app or software or subscription, we know that we'll need that on a continual, ongoing basis. It's actually really valuable for us. So in that case, what we'll do is we'll look to see, hey, if we're paying for this on a monthly basis, is there a way that we can upgrade to yearly and potentially save? So an example would be for a software service, Food Blogger Pro. So if you're a Food Blogger Pro member and you say, hey, we know that we're going to continue to use this, you can upgrade from a monthly plan to a yearly plan and then you get two months free. So if you say, hey, it makes sense for me to continue to be a member, I know that I want to do this moving forward, you can upgrade and then have that savings. That's true for a lot of different services and a lot of different apps. The incentive for the company is that they will charge you less on average per month if you pay for a longer subscription. So a month to a year or a month to a quarter or whatever it might be. Now, we almost always will start off a service monthly because we want to make sure that as we're getting up and running, that this is something that we actually need, we're interested in it, we're going to use it moving forward, and then after four months, five months, six months, we know this is something that we're going to use or this isn't something that we're going to use and we can either then cancel it or if we like it, if we want to continue using it, then we can upgrade. If they have that option for the discounted amount and sometimes it might not be displayed, but you can always reach out and ask. It doesn't hurt to ask and say, hey, really love the service, we'd like to upgrade, but wondering if we could get a discount if we upgrade to that next level. So that is number three, the quarterly bank review. Not super exciting, but it is one of the ways that we have been able to, with the least amount of work, see, save the most amount of money just by canceling or upgrading accounts or services that we have. Number four, a monthly review of Google Search Console. Now, if you haven't yet gone through the course on Google Search Console for Food Blogger Pro, please, please, please do that. We just got an email the other day from somebody who went through it, Food Blogger Pro member, and they said, my mind is blowing in a good way. They said by understanding all of the awesome stuff that's available within Google Search Console. So make sure you have it set up at the bare minimum. But number two, make sure that you're actually using it. And to do a monthly review of this is important because otherwise what can happen is you can kind of set it off to the side, you can forget that it's. That it's just kind of running in the background and you might not be getting notifications. Now, if your account set up in a way where you get emails, great, but maybe you've unsubscribed in the past and you're not getting those emails anymore. So we have a task for each of the businesses, for each of the sites that we have, where we go in and we do a monthly review of Google Search Console. Now, you don't have to go super in depth, but the things that you want to be looking for are any enhancements that you can make. And we're not going to go deep into what these are and what these represent. Uh, but essentially what you're going to be looking for are warnings or errors in the enhancements area. Uh, and this would, this would be Google telling you, hey, you're trying to tell us something with your website, the way that it's structured, or the data that you have, but something is a little bit off with it. There's, there's, there's either a big issue, an error, or kind of something that's a little bit off that you should probably look at and improve, which would be a warning. And you want to look through and make sure that as much as possible you are fixing or understanding at the bare minimum, what those errors are and why those warnings are coming up. So do that on a monthly basis. More than anything, you just want to make sure that there's nothing drastic coming up, any big changes that happen that you didn't notice. The other thing that you want to be aware of, the other thing that you want to be checking in on is the area within Google Search Console called Security and manual actions. And the only thing you need to do with this is just click manual actions, click security issues, and hopefully you have this green check mark and it says no issues detected, but sometimes there might be a very significant issue with your site and it might require you to dig a little bit deeper. Now, my hope is none of you ever have to deal with this and we talk specifically in that course on Food Blogger Pro about what these are and why it's important to understand these. But these are like red alert, drop everything you're doing and fix these issues. If you ever have a manual action or security issue within Google Search Console. So those are two quick things that you can check. And there's lots of different areas and we talk about all of those in the course. So if you are a Food Blogger Pro member, make sure to check that out. And you can add to your monthly review of gsc, as we call it, some of the other items that you might consider important, like the coverage area or even just checking to make sure that your site map is still successfully being crawled. Number five we're coming to the end. And this is I had mentioned this before. This is that weekly review. And the weekly review for me is a time to step back and to do the work of analyzing the work that I'm doing. And this is, I think, a big issue with people who are information or knowledge or digital workers is that we are always just doing the work as opposed to taking little blocks of time. It doesn't have to be long. It can be an hour or two hours to step back and think about the work that we are doing. And there is an episode of the Food Blogger Pro podcast where I talk with David Allen and he is the author of Getting Things Done. And in that episode, 165 foodbloggerpro.com 160 in that episode, he talks about how important it is for us as information or knowledge workers, how important it is for us to not just always work, but to take time to think about the work that we're doing and process the work that we're doing and improve the methodology and the systems we have as it relates to the work that we're doing. And for me, the routine of a weekly reminder review is one of the ways that I do that. Now, a few different things that are involved in the weekly review for me. Number one, it's stepping back and actually processing my physical inbox. So believe it or not, we still get a decent amount of mail. And I'm not usually processing that in real time. So I have a little inbox area. I'll toss it in there. And then on Friday, usually I'll try and slot it in on Friday, maybe a Friday afternoon, I'll go through and I'll process that physical inbox. Now, there's a lot of really important things in there, so I want to make sure that I'm actually doing that on a daily basis. Excuse me, on a weekly basis that I'm going through and processing that. Because if I don't, there might be bills or invoices or whatever it might be. So that would be one of the things that I do on our weekly review, number two, I process my digital inbox. And one of the things that's happening throughout the week is every single day, there's a ton of different things coming in. There's tasks, there's ideas, there's different initiatives that are happening. All of these things are coming in and those are happening at the same time that I'm needing to do other things and needing to go through the things that are on my calendar or the things that are on my to do list for that day. So what I do. And you can Listen to episode 165, David Allen talks about this. What I do is I have this digital inbox. It's kind of like the physical inbox, but it's just for digital tasks and ideas. And in those things that are coming in. So when those come in, I drop those into my inbox. But I need to take time to actually go through that and figure out what I'm going to do with those, whether I'm going to move on them right away, whether I'm going to consider them. Maybe at another time, I need to process that digital inbox. So that's another thing that I do with my weekly reviews. I go through and I say, okay, let's take a look at these different things that are in the inbox and what am I going to do with these? How am I going to move forward with them? Maybe am I going to make the decision not to move forward with them? And if so, when do I want to be reminded of them? So right Now I have 68 different things in my inbox. So I have to go through and I have to process those and I have to make sure that I understand what the next step is for that. So that is one of the things that I do, another one of the things that I do in that weekly review. Then I take some time to ask myself three questions. I look back at the week and I ask myself, what went well? What are the things that it was like, hey, this was awesome. This was something that was really good that I should try and continue to do moving forward? And I jot down some notes about that. I also ask, what could be improved? So were there things that I did in the previous week that were subpar or didn't quite feel right, or things that I would just generally want to improve on as I move forward? I reflect on that and make some notes on that, and then I look forward and I say, what can I do for this upcoming week to make it great? So I look at the upcoming week, I say, okay, what are the things that are happening and how can I be intentional about making that week the week coming up really awesome? Now, there are times when I get to the end of a Friday and I've gone through everything that I that I need to do in that day. And this weekly review has to get pushed into the weekend. Or maybe I do it on a Saturday or Sunday. But I really try and prioritize getting this, getting to this at least once a week. And whether that be Friday, Saturday or Sunday, what I found is that it's kind of a restorative thing to do. It's not task oriented. It's not like I'm trying to accomplish something. It's a time for me to kind of take a deep breath, to process and to look back while also looking forward. So that's another really important routine that I have and that is the weekly review. So obviously there's a lot of routines that exist for all of us. There's a lot of routines that exist for me. But those are five routines that I thought you might be able to apply in your day to day, week to week, or month to month. And hopefully these have an impact not only on how you feel about the work that you're doing, but also the impact of the work that you're doing. Just a quick review. Number one is the daily filtering of non urgent emails and then a weekly or monthly review of those. So the things that are coming into your inbox are mission critical, but you don't miss the things that you still want to learn about or process. It's just that you don't see those coming in in real time. Number two, the daily routine and making sure that you prioritize those things that you want to start out with in your day and get into the habit of doing things like reviewing your calendar or even reviewing the upcoming day. And if you are somebody who would do something like journaling, that would be a part of that as well. Number three, the quarterly bank review. Making sure that you aren't paying for things that you're not using or for the things that you are using that you upgrade those to the point where or for the purpose of saving. So you know that you use something, you know that you have a service that you like, you can upgrade that and save on that over time. Number four, the monthly review of Google Search Console. If you're a food blogger pro member, make sure you go through that course because there is some really awesome stuff. If you're not familiar with it, that it's kind of like this secret information that it feels like Google shouldn't be giving you, but they do because they want you to understand search better. Actually had a conversation with a friend in a totally different industry who, who's trying to improve the his site's search engine optimization. It's kind of in the tech and IT world. It's actually focused in on apps, phone apps and iPad apps and, and, and things of that nature. And, and he didn't know about Google Search Console and I told him about it and he was like, oh my gosh, this is awesome. We're super excited about this. So if you're not familiar with it, make sure that you get familiar with it and then build in that routine of checking in on it once it, once a month at the very least. And then number five, that weekly review. This is kind of a time for you to step back, to not feel like you have to be super task oriented, to process through each and every little task that you have and to be super productive, but instead to spend time thinking about the work that you're actually doing, to step back and do the work of critically analyzing and being present to your work. And for me, that looks like going through our physical inbox and my digital inbox, making sure that I understand when I'm going to move on those things and processing through those and then also reflecting, saying what went well, what could be improved and how can this upcoming week be great. So those five different items are items that you can, if you feel like it would be helpful for you, fold into your routines and we would love to hear from you. If you're a Food Blogger Pro member, you can jump to into the forums and share other routines that you have or in the show notes for this podcast, if you have any thoughts, you can drop some other routines that you have that have been important for you and we would love to hear from you.
