Leverage your Time and Use it More Productively

In business, time is one of your most important assets. There are many time management tools available, yet many business owners fail to implement the ideas into their daily schedules.

If you are looking to become more successful in business, there are a few simple strategies that will help you to immediately boost your daily productivity by leveraging your time.

To start, identify where you are wasting time throughout the day. You may be spending more time than you realise on activities such as reading emails, making personal calls, searching the internet or simply preparing or organising your day.

If you are unsure of your own personal time wasters, create a daily time tracker and record what you complete throughout the day.

Once you have a few days of data, you will be able to identify potential distractions that you can eliminate.

Using time management tools such as a day planner or a software program are essential business tools. There is a large difference between using the tool and using it effectively.  Your time management tool should include all business, personal, charitable, health related and any family obligations that you have throughout a given week.

As you are using your time management tool, you will need to prioritise your daily activities and responsibilities. Begin each day by reviewing the tasks that you will need to complete and set performance milestones for yourself throughout the day.

Eliminate all tasks that are unnecessary to ensure that you complete as many important tasks throughout the day as possible. Establishing a daily routine is also beneficial for ensuring that you leverage your time throughout the day.

Outsourcing is a powerful business tool. No matter how large or small your business may be, leveraging other people to carry some of your business load can allow you to focus more of your time on valuable business tasks.

Don’t waste time waiting for appointments, meetings or through waiting in traffic. Always have something to do while you are waiting such as an audio book to listen to, a report that needs to be read, a business book or just a blank notepad that you can use to plan your day or next project on.
