I am concerned about my time management; could you give me a few tips?


First of all you have 24 hours in a day, there is no way you can make this 24 hours become more than 24. So it is my opinion that you need to improve the management of your priorities. In other words you need to understand and detail what your key priorities are for the year, each month and every day. It is only when you understand and commit to these priorities that your days will be less stress filled. You have to remember that you are a business person, not a juggler. The more balls (priorities) that you are juggling, the more stressed you will become. As a business person your main priority must be obtaining new clients or keeping your regular clients more than satisfied. Is this your top priority?

Secondly, eliminate activities in your life that are not priorities. I don’t have to tell you what they are; as you know them already. Just take action to drop these from your daily activities.

Finally, if your goals are not results driven and priority focused combined with a tremendous amount of action then you are not passionate enough about your goals in the first place.

When you get your priorities set and do work that you are good at, you life will be more relaxed. If there are some areas that you are dabbling in, without true success; pay someone to do it for you. An example of this is when business owners ask me to help them with their marketing.

  1. I feel this can be applied to regular everyday life. Am I right? Your title drew me in by the way. And I like that you aren't long winded and you get to the point.

    Yes, the aspects of the points in this blog can be implemented in everyday life. In fact when you start to take these actions on the simple things in life, you get a better understanding of them. With this understanding you can see how you can use it in developing a business or growing a business.
