Do you never have enough time to get through your task list, leaving you constantly dealing with urgent issues on the fly? Here is how to organise your time around what matters.
Or are you in the driver’s seat, completing projects on time and working productively and efficiently?
The thing is time management is an illusion. We need to see time management for what it truly is: our priorities and how we allocate time against them.
So what are your priorities? In our minds, almost everything that affects us directly is ‘urgent’.
But doing an analysis of what’s the highest value work, what’s the lowest value work, and asking yourself, how can I get more high-value work in my business and have someone else do the low value can significantly improve your profitability and your freedom.
To organise your time, start by listing everything you do in a week and sorting it into high-value work and low-value work. Then ask who else could take on the low-value tasks. Every hour you free up for high-value work is an hour that improves your profit and your freedom. If you want to see where this leads, have a read of what time freedom is and why it matters. For some general background, there is a helpful overview on Wikipedia.
