Time management is a concept not many have ever truly mastered. There are professionals who are ‘good’ at it, but the vast majority of us will never really master time management. For entrepreneurs, time management is especially tricky. We are so committed to what we do that it is hard to simply leave a task and move on to something else. We love what we do, so we sacrifice time for other tasks to feed our passion.
But time management is a concept that is often misinterpreted. We can’t buy more time, nor borrow from the future. What we have is what we have. There are 24 hours in a day, no more yet also no less.
What we can do is simplify our days and prioritize and organize them by tasks that engage us. By allocating time and attention to the tasks we like to do, or want to do, it will go a long way to creating good time management. By paying more attention to the things we like, we will have more stamina to do them also. We will yield the best results from doing this.
What we then need to do is allocate smaller chunks of time from our day to the tasks we don’t enjoy or hate even! By allocating small parts of our day and thereby not procrastinating or even worse, avoiding totally, we still get the stuff we dislike completed.
