Show Notes

I've started tracking my time again, but only within three categories. Red tasks are things I shouldn't be doing, such as admin. Yellow tasks are things that are OK to do, but in limited quantities. Green tasks are things that grow the business, so I should be doing them all the time. I'm currently running at about 70% green tasks, which is great! Although I'm pushing to increase it to 80%. What percentage of your time do you think is spent on green tasks?
