Productivity Hack 📓

There are many ways for people to get their tasks done. If you find yourself struggling with what to do first, try implementing the Eisenhower Matrix this week. It is a time management technique designed to improve productivity by splitting tasks into four categories to help you prioritize.

The first step is making a to-do list of all the things you want to complete. Then, categorize each one into one of the four categories. These categories of are:

• Urgent and Important

• Urgent but Not Important

• Not Urgent but Important

• Not Urgent and Not Important

Then, it is more evident what tasks are most urgent and should get immediate attention. With each task in a quadrant, you can further colour-code them into what is most urgent.

The Eisenhower Matrix helps to distinguish between urgent and important tasks so you can establish an efficient workflow.

Marketing Boost 📈

This week’s marketing boost is all about Instagram Reels. As 140 billion Reels are watched each day, it is critical to use them to your advantage.

Instagram Reels are videos uploaded to Instagram that are generally short but have a maximum of 15 minutes. However, the best-performing reels are generally between 7 and 15 seconds. Reels don’t have to contain videos within them; they can be made up of pictures, or video clips as well.

Instagram Reels are more than just videos, they use text and trending audio to tell a message. They don’t necessarily have to be educational, they can be for comedy, or just about anything. Reels are an excellent way to increase your brand’s recognition.

Here are a few tricks to get you started with Instagram Reels:

1. Make your Reels engaging by adding music, transitions, and text!

2. Get comfortable on camera: If you want to be in your Reels, practice makes perfect. Experiment with different lighting, angles, and shots, to really elevate that personal touch

3. Take your audience behind the scenes: Behind the scenes are greater ways to introduce new customers to your business and offer a space for you to share more about your brand’s personality.
