How to Make Time Dance to Your Tune as a Business Owner

in Project HOPE4 years ago

Time seem to be an enemy to lots of people these days, even people who sit idle still complain about how far time is going and everyone wish that just for a second, the clock will stop ticking and wait for them to catch a little more rest. Play a little bit more, or spend a little more time with friends before resuming work. The situation is even worse for small business owners who have to carry out most of the task on their own, it is unfortunate that time will never stop for a second, irrespective of how well we wish time will hold on a little bit as it keeps going about its own business.

What can we do to make the best use of this time that never seem to be sufficient for us? My friend’s daughter asked her Mum, I was surprised to hear such a question from a little girl, then I proceeded to ask her what she wanted to do with time, she replied by telling me she needed more time for her Mum to keep her store opened as this will help them make more money. I then realized that both the young and old always feel that time is not enough for them. We cannot stop or disturb time from carrying out its duties, but there are ways we can get more productivity from time.

Do away with bad habits that serve as a time waster, you might have developed a constant habit that wastes your time but you have been feeling very reluctant about it. Fully maximizing your time implies that you have to get rid of a certain bad habit. Examples of such bad habit are: spending too much time playing video games, getting too attached to the internet without doing any useful thing.

Getting easily distracted is another form of time waster, while working a friend may ask you out on a date and you know that going on that date implies that you might not be able to finish what you set out for the day, sometimes because you want to please your friend, you leave your task behind and tag along, that is a form of distraction that you need to fight against if you want to make an effective use of your time.

Make the best use of your effective periods, as we have various human faces, so do we have great differences when it comes to our active periods. Mr A may be very active at the early hours of the morning, Mr B during noon, and Mr C might only be active at night. In order to make an effective use of time, it is important to find out that moment when you are active the most and set your difficult task to that time. This does not mean every other period of the day should be a waste, it should also be used carefully and effectively.

Time is always an essential factor that entrepreneurs like, this is really going to be helpful to so many people.

I will be glad if entrepreneurs on this platform find it useful.

You actually made me remember one of the words of a great man named Muhammed Ali when he stated that "he who wants to enjoy life should avoid wasting time". Time is actually a free gift given to every mankind and it now depends on how you utilize your time which can either makes you successful or failure.

I have actually learnt a lot from your write up and I hope to start practicing most of the basic key principles you've highlighted in your post in case I decide to own a business 😀.

Thanks for sharing this great post with love from @hardaeborla in courtesy of @crypto.piotr and I hope you have a great day ahead ❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕

I am happy you find it useful @hardaeborla, thanks for the lovely greetings.

You have to learn to manage time, plan, and have a mind map that allows you to always be focused on your goals.
It is also a good exercise to always listen to children, because their wisdom helps us solve things that seem impossible to us.

As much as some people like to ignore children, I always love to listen to whatsoever their little lovely minds have to say.
