Tips On Time Management

Time management is something that doesn't sound so interesting and everyone assumes they have - yet recent conversations with some coaches shows that even though they think they are managing their time well, they are juggling at most half a dozen tasks instead of the possible twenty or more that they could. The advantage to juggling more tasks is that more areas of your business progress more rapidly - rather than a linear, one after the other progression - multiple layers of your business get to be developed. How to do this? -



1. Work out exactly how many areas of your business you are actually working on - not want to be working on - not would be nice to be working on - but actually working on

2. If it's less than ten, time to increase the load!

3. Work out how you spend your time - how much time goes on the areas of your business you like and are comfortable with, compared with the other areas that are important but

perhaps not as enjoyable

4. If you notice the imbalance, diarise the areas that you know you need to be working on

5. Chunk down on the things that need to be done so they are bite-sized pieces that can be done at a sitting, rather than seeing a huge project and wondering when you will

get the time to do "all of that"

6. Every week commit to at least one thing in each area of your business - even those bits you don't love!

7. Redo your schedule each Sunday night or Monday morning so you know exactly what needs to be achieved that week

8. Know how you will measure your success when you do the tasks - have an evidence procedure
