Organise Your Time Before It Runs Out
Apr 27, 2015

Organising your time is perhaps the most important factor in ensuring you and your business are both efficient and therefore productive.  Try to be strict and allot a certain amount of time each day, or each week, to your own work. Be realistic when allocating timescales to your work so you have enough time to complete each task effectively. This will make it a lot easier for you to know your capabilities and ensure you’re not snowed under by unrealistic deadlines, mountains of work and phone calls from angry customers.

Seconds Out Whatever you are creating, be it a physical product, written work, ideas or designs, divide the process up into measurable sub-tasks. In business, these milestones are referred to as Key Performance Indicators or KPIs. It makes it easy for you to check you are hitting your targets and your business is growing as you planned.

Just a Minute Not all pieces of work are easy to break up into manageable segments. Sometimes you need to be adaptable and feel your way through a project. Many good ideas float away into the ether and are forgotten so it’s good to have a notepad handy into which you can jot down any considerations that may be useful to you in your work.

Seek Help Advice from experienced business people and self-learning are invaluable tools for you. Running a business can be an educational process and how you negotiate that learning curve is to some extent your responsibility. Learning and advancing will promote a sense of satisfaction, which will make it all worthwhile.

Hours of Time If you are working alone in your business, self-motivation is key. No two people work in quite the same way.  Some of us are early risers who can do a day’s work before noon. Others are night owls who work best in the wee small hours. Organise and build your work schedule around the time you have available. If you’re working from home, avoid distractions, such as watching the rolling news channels, getting engrossed in personal social media or browsing the internet. There are times for these activities and work is not one of them. Prioritise tasks, ensuring to highlight any that are time sensitive. Time is of the essence and effective scheduling will help you to juggle your family and business life to achieve the ideal life balance that works for both you and your family.
