Time Management Can Be Achieved with 5 Key Work Areas

Stop Spending All Your Time on the Little Stuff.

This year is already moving pretty fast, therefore, your time management needs a quick pick me up. 

If you're ready to grow your business and generate sales you have to function in an environment that facilitates execution.  I've accomplished the almost impossible in the last year with my new launch and brands.

How did I do it?

I Broke My Growth Barriers and Divided Up My Time.

If you're ready to grow and need a little push, here are six broad categories to divide your time and what three activities you can start with.  Other type of work can be added customized to your business:

Client Work – Clients or customers.  This includes providing services and products to them.

·         Follow Up to Questions, Requests, and Inquiries from Clients

·         Update, Organize, and/or Finish Client Projects and Research

·         Create Quarterly Communication Program for Announcements, Special Offers, and New Product Introductions

·         ..:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> 

Administrative Work – This includes paperwork, phone calls, email, scheduling and other busy work to keep the business running.

·         Work a formatted daily activity sheet that includes all those things you HAVE to do to keep the business running – phone calls, emails, scheduling, checking messages, going through mail, etc.  Spend only one hour per day doing your daily activities first thing in the morning.

·         Maintain your daily to do list (things higher level than daily activities) by keeping your list in a spiral notebook and dates each page.  Write all details for each to-do and check off as you complete.

·         Check your project folders and update details, dates, and delivery schedules.

Strategy Work – This is your center of taking action on anything, strategic planning, reading, cont. education, documenting, etc.

·         Commit to strategic planning at least 5 hours per week.

·         Check your goals, milestones, and actions and update progress and results.

·         Engage in market research, product research, and new technologies research each week.

Marketing Work – You want to spend your time persuading your target audience to buy what you're selling.

·         Post a Blog Entry every week.

·         Write a new Article every week and post on directories.

·         Work your marketing plan every day.

Procrastination Work – This work involves sitting around feeling bad because you're not doing what you were suppose to do so you do something else. 

Don't worry procrastination work is a valid way to divide up your time.  There aren't three activities because it's defined by you.  Try to come up with your procrastination schedule to determine your BEST procrastination activities.  Once you see the things you do, you probably won't do them anymore. 

If your environment is not conducive to how you conduct business it will be very hard to complete simple tasks -- so get organized and divide your time.
