Welcome to the 5th issue of 5 Minute Friday from The Backpack CPA! Every Friday I share a short email with tips & resources to get you thinking about your
Professional & Personal Development!
Let's start "growing" through our professional journey instead of just "going" through it!
A few wise words from the Dalai Lama...

💪 Professional & Personal Development
This week was quite an eventful one for me with the business tax deadline yesterday and several other random things happening, but I was able to get everything thing done on time (actually got more done)!
On the topic of getting things done, I found this article that talks about simple tricks we can use to GET MORE DONE. Below are 7 simple ways from the article (some may sound crazy, but if you read the article they'll make sense):
Work with Background Noise, Not Distractions
Grab a Coffee Nap or a Catnap
Stay Home (sometimes you get more done by just staying at home!)
Crank Up The Heat (we tend to get more comfortable & chill in cooler temps)
Drink More Water
Get a Blue Light
Work fewer hours (tough one, but we actually don't "work" the whole time we're working)

📗💡 Learning/Tools
One strategy/tool that really helps me get work done is planning ahead. Each night I plan out my next day so that I know what to expect and my mind/brain also knows what to do. Remember it's just a plan, and sometimes not everything goes according to plan. Here's a sample of the one page I use to plan out each day. If you'd like a PDF of the template, send me a message at vic@thebackpackcpa.com.
If you want to chat about anyting feel free to send me a message or even book a time to chat https://calendly.com/vbcpa/thebackpackcpa!
Stay inspired & keep growing 🚀,
