Thinking They Can Manage Time
You can not manage time, you can only manage yourself around time
by changing your mindset and habits. You can not add more time
to your day nor stop the unending movement of time, you must manage
yourself first by planning, having clear goals, taking daily actions
steps and make a commitment to be conscious of your time daily.
Keeping a Traditional Rigid Schedule
You do not have to follow the traditional 9 to 5 schedule, work
at your highest peak performance to reach your highest productivity.
Be flexible. You didn’t go into business for yourself to
work harder and longer as you did for your previous employer,
“work smarter not harder.” Make time for yourself, block
it on your calendar, take a brisk walk, get a pedicure, take a
power nap, just do something to allow your creative energies to
flow.
No Written Job Description or Mission Statement
Do you have a written job description? Do you know your core functions
and work objectives? Even as a solo-entrepreneur, there is a need
for a written job description. A job description is a written
summary listing the elements of a particular job, purpose, duties
and equipment needed. It provides an organized plan, determines
work objectives, explains core functions and gives clarity to
what is important to you and your business. It gives you a plan
and direction of your work flow. Your job description is a good
place to include your mission statement. Your mission statement
outlines you and your organization’s vision, why the organization
exist and what it hopes to achieve in the future. Also it serves
as a resource to monitor your performance and measure if you are
meeting your business objectives. Steven Covey, author of “The
7 Habits of Highly Effective People”, states that a mission
statement is a “connection with your own unique purpose and
the profound satisfaction that comes in fulfilling it.”
