Business Issues
What to Delegate & What to Keep
There comes a point in the business life of a successful small business when it requires more time and energy than you, as the owner have, and when the business can no longer be considered a small business. You have 16 waking hours and 7 days per week in which to get things done. When your business gets so busy or big that it requires more time and days than you have, you may experience overwhelm.

Implementing a Time Management System Pt. 2B
My editor and I work on creating and marketing my FIBI (For Investor By Investor) meetings--that's a shared system. She and I have committed to assigned tasks and dates of completion. The shared system is an agreement-- you create it, you send it to them for approval or clarity, they send it back for your final approval and you put it where you can both see it.

Implementing a Time Management System Pt. 2A
So far I've discussed the time management strategy of dividing your to-do list into tasks and projects. Your list of tasks gets checked off one-by-one and your projects' subset of tasks-- the same. One thing I want to emphasize is, not to use due dates on your tasks. Trust that you know what's next, what's best for you and when it needs to happen. When your tasks are context appropriately broken down, you know which ones you should do first, which ones you can do quickly, and what you need available in order to complete each.

Implementing a Time Management System Pt. 1B
Continuing on the blog post topic from last week, I want to discuss the implementation of a time management system. By now you know the step (and importance) of breaking your to-do list down into tasks and projects. You also know that your tasks should each have an action and an object. Each project on your list should have an implementable task with a verb and object/noun associated with it.
Radio: Implementing a Time Management System Pt. 1B
Last week on the radio show I started the discussion of implementing a time management system. This week's show will pick up where the previous episode left off. Breaking down your straight-forward tasks and projects with their various steps in order is how you manage your to-dos and ultimately your time.

Implementing a Time Management System Pt.1a
I have discussed the topic of time management numerous times throughout this blog. The topic is one that is important and essential to the success of a business run by a sole proprietor or entrepreneur. But when I say time management what I'm actually talking about is the management of your mind. Mind management is the management of your mind and expectations and your relationship to the things you need to get done. If you spend your time the way you want, you get what you want out of your time.
Time Management Now
Do you know the difference between a to-do list and a project list? A project has a list of to-dos. The to-dos are the small, action steps taken in order to complete a project. Sometimes we listmakers add broad projects to our list instead of the small, actionable, tasks that should be added.
