Time Savers
Copyright 2005 Writer's Eye Advisory Service
I'm sure that you as a business owner, have discovered the value
of using your time wisely. When it comes to running a business,
time is money. Your work, time and resources should be directed
toward increasing revenue in a balanced schedule. Your time
should be spread among the following areas: planning, taking
work breaks, celebrating and reflecting. The following list of
time-savers addresses each of these areas. These ideas are
designed to encourage saving time, by balancing the use of your
time.
Write your to-do list. Remember to include no more than five
items. You can always remove or add items, as your schedule
permits. The purpose of this time-saver is to establish a
specific focus for your work day.
Choose the highest priority project. LIst all actions that are
necessary to complete that project. Choose one action, complete
it and continue through your list. The purpose of this
time-saver is maintain the focus of your work day.
Use a timer or other device, so that you can focus on completion
of your project. Remember that you can also listen to a tape, CD
or a radio or television program. Choose the device that is
least distracting to you. The purpose of this time-saver is to
keep your focus on completing your actions.
Use your calendar to schedule time for each project (action by
action), as well as for your work breaks and other regular
appointments. Give yourself ample time to complete your project.
The purpose of the calendar is to clarify priorities, direct
long-term planning and increase productivity.
Find a work buddy. Call this person, before, during and after
you complete a part or all of your project. Share your process
and your success.Small business
owners greatly benefit from
interaction with one another. It's helpful to socialize,
problem-solve and celebrate The purpose of this time-saver is
take care of your support needs.
Reward yourself after each task is completed. It's important for
you to give credit to yourself for what you have accomplished.
I've put stickers on my to-do list. I've eaten snacks, made a
short phone call or sent an email. I've also looked out my
living room window, to rest my eyes and enjoy the view. This
time-saver is designed to encourage you to care for your
individual needs.
Schedule breaks between tasks. Don't wait until you have
finished your project.. Break your project into a series of
actions. Schedule your breaks after completing at least two
actions. Working without breaks promotes low productivity and
increased errors. The purpose of this time-saver is to promote
indivdual renewal and balance.
Finally, keep a notepad nearby. Remember to record the
following: 1) Actions that you would rather take than working on
your project. 2) Reminders, random thoughts or anything else
that isn't immediately relevant to your current project. 3) Any
interruptions. 4) Any other distractions. The purpose of
recording this information is to look for hidden time-wasters.
You can use this information to help increase your productivity
and decrease your errors on future projects.
Please note that implementing any or all of these time-savers
will increase your efficiency. Choose and implement one for a
month. Track your results and see what improvement occurs.
