10 Great Tips for Effectively Managing Your Time

Procrastination is hard to avoid. But there are some tips to help you trick your mind into focusing on the task at hand. Here are our favorite.

1. Set and know your goals in a short term and long term capacity. All else is a distraction or time waster. Stay focused by planning your day around tasks that actively generate income and grow your business.

2. Remove distractions and procrastination enablers. Don’t go on social media or answer personal texts. Learn to identify self-induced interruptions and triggers so that you can regain more control over your will power.

3. This might seem unrelated, but practice self-care! Getting sufficient sleep, exercise, and downtime will all help you be more effective in time management.

4. Set your priorities by urgency. Consider breaking them up into lists that you keep on a white board in your office, such as “important/urgent”, “important/not urgent”, or “urgent/not important” which refers to tasks that make “noise” but have no lasting value and are better when delegated.
