Tools to start your side hustle

5 extremely practical products to help you start your side hustle and keep things organized and productive.

1. A notebook

- It seems obvious but a good notebook helps you stay organized and creative. Personally I like the notebooks with dots instead of lines so I can not only jot down lists and ideas but also make diagrams, drawings and doodles. I use this one so they stack aesthetically as I finish a new notebook.

2. An even better notebook: Self Journal by BestSelf

- We all love notebooks... but this one is truly different. If you need more of a heavy hand than a blank notebook I highly suggest this 13 week planning journal that will keep you on track to meet all your goals. Thirteen weeks is the perfect bite sized amount of time to truly track progress without feeling overwhelming.

3. A productivity timer

- It's hard to focus after a full day of work and it's easy to push aside working on your side hustle when your tired. One hour of productive work per day can really help move your business along faster than you think. Use a visual productivity timer to help you push through and give yourself a clear end time. You are much more likely to finish that important task if you hyper focus for one hour. I prefer to use a physical productivity timer such as this to keep my dedicated side hustle time distraction free.

4. Noise canceling headphones

- Keep your day compartmentalized and head to your favorite coffeeshop / bar for an hour before or after work to focus on your side hustle. You will be surprised how much you get done when you only have an hour of extremely focused time. It's easy to get distracted though so it's always a good idea to invest in some noise canceling headphones. My personal choice are Bose.

5. Some Inspiration: $100M Offers: How to Make Offers So Good People Feel Stupid Saying No

- Get inspired and learn the art of building a business. Alex Hormozi covers his story on how he went from nothing to a multi million dollar business. Even if you are just creating a side hustle this book is chock full of mindsets and tactics you should bring into any new business. I found this book to be a great audio book to listen on my daily walks!
