Time Management

Posted by KC Morgan Jun 13, 2006

When day-to-day hassles and responsibilities get in the way, it's hard to work on plans and ideas for the future. You can't expand your business if you barely have enough time to take care of the business matters you already have. And you thought self employment would give you more time!

How do you make time when you seem to have no time? First, figure out your routine. What do you have to do every day, what do you end up doing every day anyway, and what do you spend the most time on? Try to set aside one "errand" day, if you can, to take care of all chores that need to be done away from your home office. When you work from home, being at home is important - so try to get as much "away from home" things taken care of during the weekends or on "free" days you give yourself.

Learn how to juggle your time between work and chores, this is the key to time-management. Once it's all in front of you in black and white what you need to do and you know roughly how much of your day those things might take, you can shift and bend your schedule to best suit your needs.
