Have you ever thought to yourself that there aren't enough hours in day, or felt overwhelmed at tasks facing you? If you have, this article can help you!
1. Clarify your goals and strategy. Be very clear about your aims and ambitions, both short and long term. Write them down. Once you know what you really want to achieve (and why) it's easier to make decisions about what needs doing, and to plan accordingly.
2. Focus on your top priorities. You'll be more productive and profitable if you identify and.focus on areas most important to your business. Work on fundamentals first. The Latin word 'fundamentum' means foundation - so take action, build strong foundations and rest should follow.
3. Schedule time. Literally write an appointment in your work planner (you do have one of those, don't you?) to set aside a realistic block of time for your priority actions. This reduces anxiety over not having enough time and keeps you focused.
4. Say no! Consider Jim Rohn's suggestion. "Learn how to say no. Don't let your mouth overload your back." Always check your schedule before committing to anything new. Don't allow others to divert you from your objectives.
5. Create supportive systems. This includes systems for filing, management information and communication.
