You have the first two keys from the last two posts and it’s time for the final key system. This is a place where many find themselves challenged and sad to say, for some it just goes right out of the window. Which isn’t good for business.
As a business owner, you have to manage yourself in a way that has you on top of everything and getting things done, so, yes, you need a system for that too. If you don’t currently have a time management tool that is working well for you, it might be time to assess why it’s not working for you and determine what tool would be more appropriate for your time management personality.
Once you have the appropriate tool, set it up, learn how to use every feature it affords you and use it to its fullest capacity. Additionally, set up other components as a part of your time management system. For example, you want to incorporate the use of a master task list and a daily task list along with the good time management habits of planning and prioritizing to shore you up. For more info on additional elements of a solid time management system, see my post on Your Time Management Tool Box.
When you put these things into place and use them regularly, you can be rid of the aforementioned scenarios and have control of every aspect of your business. Even when you’re wearing multiple hats, with these things in place you will be large and in charge, calling all the shots; able to handle your business.
