And while there\u2019s no denying the many benefits of digital, it appears the opposite of these predictions has in fact happened, especially for women trying to run a business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 24\/7, always-on culture means entrepreneurs are now wasting up to 21.8 hours of their time on low-value tasks \u2013 digital noise like emails and newsletters. The average business leader spends 72 hours per week<\/a> working, while the average person receives 121 emails<\/a> every day! <\/p>\n\n\n\n A whole industry has emerged dedicated to helping people to slow down, notice things, be mindful and create space amid the digital chaos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While we don\u2019t want to add to the noise, we do want to share 3 tips for women founders that could help you feel more in control and less swamped by what<\/p>\n\n\n\n Learning is for life, not just the classroom<\/p>\n\n\n\n There\u2019s so much out there, it can feel overwhelming, especially if you\u2019re chasing your tail each day trying to grow your company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But learning is a lifelong lesson and there\u2019s gold to be struck if you know where best to look. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Tip 1<\/strong> is to decide on what it is you need to learn. No deleting. No decluttering. Simply deciding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For the woman founder, that\u2019s likely to mean topics that fall into the world of business \u2013 nurturing the right mindset, financial know-how, team management tips and so on. But you also need to take account of your personal development, which as a leader, will run in tandem with your company\u2019s growth. Topics that fall into categories like taking a break and reflecting on your own progress, as well as that of your company, will also be very relevant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A healthy relationship with your inbox can only come after you make that decision. Skip this step and you won\u2019t solve the problem \u2013 you\u2019ll just swap one set of distractions for another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Everyone has different styles and preferences and tip 2 <\/strong>is to identify the way you learn best. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Then you can start choosing the right input and tools to support your learning.

If you\u2019ve decided you can do 10 minutes a day or 20 minutes a week of learning, stick to it. When a newsletter or email lands ask<\/p>\n\n\n\n Create a small, personalised learning system that fuels growth, not noise, in the form of a toolbelt you can turn to whenever you need. Limit your learning sources to<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you\u2019ve decided what you need to learn and how best you learn, it should be easy to see what doesn\u2019t fit and easy to stay loyal to the few things that do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Tip 3 <\/strong>is about calling time on an inbox that steals energy by getting familiar with the act of \u2018unsubscribing\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hitting \u2018unsubscribe\u2019 is not about being ruthless \u2013 it\u2019s about being ready to start creating the daily learning toolbelt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If content is practical, forward-looking and tailored to your niche, there\u2019s no need to get rid of it. Only let go of what drains you. Keep what fuels you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Learning to differentiate is important. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Bitesize chunks of value <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If something is short, sharp and makes you think \u2013 keep it, especially if the content enlightens and brings knowledge you can put to good use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wyseminds is a team of coaches who have all run successful businesses.
