Time Management for Entrepreneurs - Effective Scheduling

Today's blog is on effective scheduling and how to do it. It's absolutely vital to the health of your business. A man that fails to plan, plans to fail. Getting your schedule done properly can mean the difference between making money that day or losing money that day. True entrepreneurs know this and are able to schedule their tasks effectively.


Effective scheduling is done in 5 steps.
1. Identify how much time you have
2. Block out the necessities such as work or commute
3. Schedule in your high priority and urgent tasks
4. Make sure you have contingency or slack time
5. Schedule in time to meet your business or personal goals

If you reach step 5 and you don't have a lot of time left, go back through your day and see what you can delegate, or cut time down on. The point is to get your time very lean so that you know exactly where you are going next and how long it should take.

I've personally seen my productivity shoot through the roof when I implemented this versus just having a task list for the day. The entrepreneurs that get results are the ones that run their business like a business, and what business do you know that doesn't have a daily agenda?
