Hello everyone, Jason Dunbar back again with another article on Time Management. In my last article I wrote that there really isn’t a such thing as time management, but rather a system of how to manage what you do in the time you have. Remember, we cannot create time, therefore we can’t manage it.
After writing the last article on Time Management, I decided to come up with a schedule of my daily activities in order to better manage the things I do in the time I have. I am not really a very busy person and I don’t have a laundry list of things to do on a daily basis. My only real responsibility is to get up in the morning and to go to bed in the evening. What a life. Anyway, I came up with a schedule to try to best utilize my time and on paper, it looked great, but when I tried to put my plan into action, it was a failure.
First things first, you need to a little bit about yourself and the things you need to do. For example, are you a morning person or an evening person? If you must travel from place to place, what are the traffic conditions and can you make any time adjustments? Also, another very important thing is, can you multitask or can you give certain tasks to someone else. Trying to everything yourself seems to big a big problem with most entrepreneurs. Do not be afraid to give some tasks to others.
After evaluating your situation and drafting a schedule, put it into action. You will begin to realize that maybe you do some things better in the morning and other things better in the afternoon or evening. This is where you begin to make changes to your new schedule to customize it just for you. Remember, not everyone is the same therefore choosing to follow a basic schedule probably won’t work. You need a customized schedule that will incorporate your specific needs and lifestyle. Tweaking your schedule to perfection will probably never happen because sometimes life just gets in the way, but having a foundation is the key to staying on track.
As far as my failing schedule, today was only day one and all I was able to follow correctly was get out the bed at 5:00 a.m. After that, it was down hill from there. Anyway, I will do some tweaking this evening and hopefully things will begin to look up. I will keep ou posted on how things go but in the meantime, if you do not have some type of schedule or time management system in place, I suggest you give it some serious thought.
Thanks for stopping by and paying me a visit.
