Time management is a big concern for a lot of home based business owners. I keep hearing, "There are just not sufficient hours in the day..." or "Where does my time go?" Face it, we all live busy lives. Work, family, and other commitments keep us all hopping. To utilize better time management, it's essential to acknowledge what the specific problems are.

 

The most important step in time management is assessing our schedules. On a sheet of paper, write up a "typical" week for you, by looking at your current schedule you will be able to identify places where better time management could be used. Ask yourself why you're feeling disappointed with your schedule? Create a list of what you wish to change and what you want to make room for.

 

After you've carried out this, take a piece of paper and draw three columns. In the first column, have a list of all appointments, events, or commitments which are "set in stone", things that take place at a fixed time and occur everyday, weekly or monthly. Such as work, club meetings, or standing doctor's appointments. In the second column, write "flexible" tasks or commitments that can be done around your "set in stone" commitments, like grocery shopping, home cleaning, or having lunch with a friend. In the third column, place those "occasional" appointments, doctor appointments, a school play, or an old friend coming into town (or anything that does not belong to the other two columns).

 

Then using a calendar (preferably one with large spaces for the days) Or make use of a notebook and label each page a day or two (depending on how much you're trying to accomplish daily or weekly.) Begin putting in the items from your 3 columns, beginning with the items which are "set in stone" then the items which are occasional, leave the "flexible" things to last since you are capable to put them in around the other items.

 

The objective is to balance out your days and to maximize your time.
