Your Ultimate Get It Done Day Checklist: Productivity Tips for Women Entrepreneurs

As a busy entrepreneur, you know how frustrating it is to stare at a to-do list that never seems to shrink. You’re working hard, but some days, it feels like you’re spinning your wheels instead of moving forward.

What if you could dedicate one day to tackling your biggest priorities with clarity, focus, and momentum? That’s the idea behind a Get It Done Day—a strategic, purposeful approach to turning your to-do list into a done list.

In this blog post, I’ll walk you through a simple yet effective system for planning your own Get It Done Day. By the end, you’ll have actionable strategies to take control of your time and energy. And if you’d like to go even further, I’ll share how working together in a VIP Day can supercharge your productivity and create lasting results.

Step 1: Lay the Groundwork for Success

A productive day doesn’t start when you sit down to work—it starts with thoughtful preparation.

Define Your Top Priorities

Start by asking yourself:

What’s the one task that, if completed today, would make the biggest impact on my business?
Which projects or tasks have been hanging over my head the longest?
What feels urgent but isn’t necessarily important? (This is your chance to say no or delegate.)

Write down your top three priorities for the day. These should be your non-negotiables—the tasks you’ll feel great about completing even if nothing else gets done.

Pro Tip: If you struggle to prioritize, try asking, “What will move the needle the most in my business?” This question helps cut through the noise and focus on what matters most.

Set Up Your Workspace for Focus

Your environment plays a big role in your ability to concentrate. Take a few minutes to optimize your workspace:

Declutter: Clear your desk of anything that isn’t relevant to your work.
Prepare Tools: Make sure everything you need—files, notes, snacks, water—is within reach.
Create a Vibe: Good lighting, a comfy chair, and your favorite playlist can make all the difference.

When your workspace feels good, you’ll feel more motivated to dive into your work.

Plan Your Schedule with Intention

Time blocking is your best friend when it comes to a productive day. Break your day into focused sprints, with planned breaks to recharge. For example:

Start Time: 9:00 AM
Morning Sprint: 9:00–10:30 AM (Work on your most critical task)
Break: 10:30–10:45 AM
Mid-Morning Sprint: 10:45 AM–12:15 PM (Tackle the next priority task)
Lunch and Reset: 12:15–1:00 PM
Afternoon Sprint: 1:00–2:30 PM (Work on your third priority task)
Wrap-Up: 2:30–3:00 PM (Review progress and plan next steps)

This structure keeps you focused while preventing burnout.

Step 2: Execute Like a Pro

Now that you’ve set yourself up for success, it’s time to get to work.

Start with Your Hardest Task

Research shows that we have the most energy and focus earlier in the day. Use this time to tackle the task you’re most likely to procrastinate on. Getting it done first will give you a sense of accomplishment and free up mental energy for the rest of the day.

Quick Tip: Struggling to get started? Ask yourself, “What’s the smallest step I can take right now?” Often, taking that first step is all you need to build momentum.

Minimize Distractions

Distractions are the enemy of productivity, but you can take control by:

Turning off notifications on your phone and computer.
Letting family or coworkers know you’re unavailable during work sprints.
Using tools like website blockers or timers to stay on track.

Celebrate Small Wins

Every time you check something off your list, pause for a moment to appreciate your progress. Productivity isn’t just about getting things done—it’s about building confidence and momentum.

Step 3: Reflect and Plan for Tomorrow

At the end of your Get It Done Day, take a few minutes to reflect:

Celebrate Your Wins: What did you accomplish today? Write it down.
Identify What’s Next: Are there tasks you didn’t finish? Decide whether to roll them into tomorrow’s plan or let them go.
Refine Your Process: What worked well? What didn’t? Use these insights to make your next day even more productive.
