42 The #1 Mistake Authors Make With Time Management

In this episode, Rebecca Paciorek is sharing part of a live teaching session from inside the Authors’ Allies RoundTable membership. We’re talking about something most authors don’t think about enough — how much time you actually have each week to work on your author business outside of writing.

Before you choose marketing strategies, apps, or systems, you need to know what your real life allows. Otherwise you end up overwhelmed, overspending, or constantly feeling behind.

In this lesson, we talk about:

• Why authors need a realistic weekly time check

• How to decide what tasks actually matter

• The 80/20 rule for author marketing

• Why your business should fit around your life

• How to avoid paying for tools you don’t have time to use

• Building systems that work even during busy seasons

This episode is part of a class from inside Authors’ Allies, where we focus on practical, sustainable ways to build an author career.
