If Magic Spoon Creative Director Dhiya Choudary could go back in time and give herself a to-do list for how to best structure her workday, here is what she would do.
1. Pay Attention to How You Work Best Naturally
Determine what times of day are best for creative thinking, and what times of day are best for meetings and 1:1s. Now throw all the introspection out the window because you work at a startup and every day is a new adventure! (you’ll never be bored).
2. Project Managers are Friends not Foe
Embrace this.
3. Make a To-Do List of Priorities Every Single Day
Now look at your calendar, and revise that to-do list. You’re simply not going to do that thing today, stop trying. But that other thing - do it right now. Please, I’m begging you.
4. Block Out Lunch Time
Shocker, the migraines will *magically* disappear. (Also maybe drink water).
5. Please Leave the House, Or the Office
You can call it taking the scenic route to your next meeting.
