3 Strategies For Using Your Time Better

Most of us wish there were more hours in the day. But to be honest, even if we had more hours would we just waste them way? [bctt tweet=”Ask any successful entrepreneur or business owner and they’ll tell you that it’s not the number of hours you have, but how you use them”]

1. Work in Time Blocks

Create a block of time for each task you have to do and decide exactly how long you’ll do it. For example, one hour per day on an ongoing 6 month project. This keeps you on track and prevents you from spending too long on any one task.

2. Perform a Time Audit

Keep track of how you spend your time each day with a timer and write down the results. Over the course of several days, a picture will emerge showing how you actually spend your time. You may be surprised at where you’re spending it.

3. Choose Your Best Working Time

There maybe a time of day when you’re at your most productive. For example, you may be better at communications in the early morning or more creative in the evening. Identify these times and use them to schedule your daily tasks more effectively.
