Have you heard the saying, time is money? It is true in one sense, but you can make more money, you cannot make more time. Time is elusive and we can be masters at wasting it or maximizing it.
As a business owner, are you wasting time or maximizing it? Are you like Goldilocks and using it ‘just right’? I work with many clients who are trying to do everything themselves on time management because when you are a one-person show, you better use your time wisely. Remember, time is not like money, there is no opportunity to get more of it or make more of it. Once gone, it’s gone.
So how do you learn to use time to your advantage?
There are many time management books, articles, and tools out there but most of them miss the boat. (I should know, I’ve tried more than I can name!) But why?
Because I’ve learned that the single most important thing you need to use your time wisely is to know how you work.
- Do you have energy in the morning, afternoon, or evening?
- Do you like to work on the computer or handwrite your ideas?
- Are you visual, auditory, kinetic or a blend?
Once you know this, then you can implement time management tools and tricks that make sense for you. Stop trying so hard to fit a square peg into a round hole and maximize your time like you never imagined!
