When it comes to time management within a business, it can be challenging to find the right balance. This blog will bring together a few important tips and tricks to help you find the best time management for your business.
Personal Organisation
Organising your personal time is step one to finding the right balance of time management for your business. If you tend to have the mindset of “I’ll think about that tomorrow”, then following the system Stephanie Winston created called TRAF would help you in this area.
For each piece of paper, choose one of the four TRAF options:
- Toss it out there and then
- Refer it to someone else to take care of the matter
- Act on it yourself
- File it in a convenient place for future action or reference.
This will allow you to avoid the constant fire fighting that consumes the time of so many business owners. If you face a problem as soon as it comes up, you will prevent important decisions from piling up to the point that you feel overwhelmed.
Projects List
As a business owner, it’s likely you have a million projects going on at the same time. Meaning it can be easy to lose track of how close to completion a particular project is. The solution to this is to keep an organised list or sheet with the name of the project, the name of the person working on it and the estimated date of completion. Doing this will allow you to keep track of everything going and help you understand what needs to be done and when it should be completed by.
Redefining Your Role
When starting a business you can find yourself taking on many roles and responsibilities and as time goes on these are roles that you may be able to delegate to your growing team. This will help free up your own time and give you the extra you need to spend on other areas of the business!
