The Problem of Time Management

If you already

manage a home business, then you are also probably

aware of how it can consume most of your time. Most

likely, this happens against your will. After all,

there are probably many things that you want to do

with your time, such as spending time with your

spouse and your children, going out with your

friends, listening to music, reading some books, or

what not. And yet, the task of managing your home

business seems to take up all of your time. What

can you possibly do?

What was described in the

first paragraph is a classic example of a time

management dilemma. Millions of people, not just

home business owners, feel that they are not in

complete control of their time. This tends to make

people miserable, since most people want to feel in

control of their lives. After all, what is your

life but a measurement of your time? As long as you

are unable to spend your time in a manner that you

wish, you will never be truly happy, no matter how

much money you earn or how many accolades you

receive.


Managing Your Time Properly

Set your priorities.

The cardinal rule of time management is this: Set

your priorities. In life, there is probably nothing

more important than setting your priorities, since

they will set the stage for just how much time you

will spend on each area of your life. You must

clarify in your mind exactly what you want in life,

and determine to spend more time on those things

that you feel are most important.

In the immortal

words of Goethe, “Things that matter most must

never be at the mercy of things that matter least.”

If your home business is the most important to you,

then it is only right that you use most of your

time on it. But if it isn’t, you should begin to

scale back on the time you spend on it. You can

either 1) get someone else to do the job for you;

or 2) scale back on the amount of work you are

already doing. Remember: You own your home

business; it doesn’t own you.

When you work,

work. Time management gurus tell us that most

people don’t really work all the time that they

work. This means that they may be putting in 8

hours at work, but they’re not really working for

all of those 8 hours. They may spend an hour here

chatting with officemates, another hour there for

lunch, and another utterly distracted. This causes

work to pile up and problems to surface at a later

time.

To avoid this, work all the time you work.

While you should definitely take breaks whenever

you need them, make sure you are not kidding

yourself and taking more time than you need to. By

focusing on the task at hand, you will get it done

quicker and with less effort, freeing up more time

for the other things you want to do.
