#FixItFriday: 5 Goal-Oriented Ways to Wrap Up Your Work Week
2025-02-28 00:00 - 23:59 (America/New_York)
Every experienced business owner knows how easily small tasks can pile up and become overwhelming. So, The MTM Network by The MTM Institute has introduced “Fix It Fridays”—a dedicated time to organize, file, and complete those mindful management tasks that often get pushed aside during the week.

As each work week comes to a close, we like to end on a productive but peaceful note. This week, we’ve focused on five goal-oriented strategies to help you wrap up any week efficiently while setting yourself up for success in the week to come.

1. Outline Next Week

If you like to plan ahead or just aren’t a fan of surprises during your business day, outlining the upcoming week is a great way to minimize distractions. By setting goals weekly, you can plan further out, allowing for more strategic planning and efficient use of your time.

2. File, Scan, and Shred Documentation

If you prefer a quiet end to your week, consider dedicating an hour or two to organizing your paperwork and digital files. Throw on your favorite band or podcast and lose yourself in something simple but productive.

You’ll thank yourself every tax season.

3. Update Your Budgets and Bookkeeping

Setting small work windows, breaking up financial tasks, and mentally preparing make any project more manageable. Ending the week with these tasks can be easier for some because we know a break is coming. Consider blocking time at the end of the week to keep them from piling up.

4. Engage on Social Media

Odds are you’re already using social media, so why not batch your efforts to end the week? Dedicating an hour or more to a single platform, campaign, or hashtag makes more room for strategic planning. Committing that time weekly helps build lasting relationships around that focus.

5. Tie Up Loose Ends

One of the most productive ways to end any week is to block time for surprises, things we never get to, and things we never finish. Whether it’s updating leads, going through mail, or something different each week, blocking time for “whatever” makes room for surprises.

Wednesdays: Midweek Mindset Refresh | Free Networking Online
2025-09-03 00:00 - 23:59 | The MTMN on Twitter
By Wednesday, we’re halfway through the week, maybe feeling behind on goals, juggling too many priorities, or wondering if we’re managing it all the right way. The last thing we need is another high-priced, high-pressure event distracting us from our business goals. So Instead, we offer free networking online with The MTM Network… where you already are and on your own time.
Our Midweek Mindset Refresh is a gentle pause in the week to reset, reconnect, and remember that success doesn’t have to come at the cost of your well-being. Whether building your own business, working a day job while pursuing side projects, managing a team, or navigating any combination of work and life — this space is for everyone.
Use the links below to connect on the social media platforms of your choice. Then look for our #MTMNmindset post on Wednesday mornings to comment, share and connect. That’s it. Come as you are, when you’re ready and engage with members for free.
Free Online Networking Plus Mentorship
Mindset matters as much as marketing. Boundaries matter as much as the bottom line. And sometimes, the most productive thing you can do is slow down long enough to check in with yourself and team.
We don’t need more productivity hacks. We need space to pursue our goals at a pace that feels sustainable. Learn how to identify your ideal audience, manage contacts, and develop a sales strategy from MTM Network mentors to build a network on your terms and at your own pace.
Each Midweek Mindset Refresh Includes:
A Space for Pressure Free Connection
This is about creating a space where you can connect with people who get it. No pressure to share, no expectations to be “on”, just the option to be part of a community that lets you work toward your goals on your own terms.
Mindset Shifts That Actually WorkSimple practices, gentle reminders, and permission slips for the moments when imposter syndrome shows up or burnout feels inevitable. Think: clarity over chaos, progress over perfection.
Community Check-insConnect with other professionals who understand that “hustle culture” isn’t the only way to achieve your goals. Share what’s working, what’s not, and what you’re learning along the way.
Social Networking As Professional Networking
Networking doesn’t have to feel awful. We know it’s uncomfortable for many people, so we focus on making it less painful.
The Business Value: Social networking helps build professional relationships from anywhere and can lead to referrals, collaborations, and opportunities.
Join Our Mindful Business Community

“In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different.” -Coco Chanel “It’s good to get out of your comfort zone and test yourself.” -Lily Allen “Find like-minded business people who you can talk to about your day-to-day activities. They will see solutions that are hidden in plain sight.” -Mark Hudson “Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence.” -Calvin Coolidge “Success in business requires training and discipline and hard work. But if you’re not frightened by these things, the opportunities are just as great today as they ever were.” -David Rockefeller “Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” ~Ralph Waldo Emerson, Writer
