So many people go through life stressed, rushed and never truly focused on the task at hand. These people are so “busy” yet they rarely accomplish their goals on time and often are unreliable for co-workers, subordinates or their friends and families.
If you struggle with time management and feel like there are never enough hours in the day, there is help available in the form of time management training. While it might seem impossible to take back your time, by implementing some simple practices you can prioritize your days and ensure there is enough time for everything and everyone in your life, including yourself.
As a professional business coach in the Fort Wayne area, I work with clients from companies of all sizes and industries. My specialty lies in one-on-one coaching with executives or managers, and my goal is to determine the wants and needs of my clients and help them make a plan to reach their goals.
So many of my clients initially struggle with time management. Starting your own business, being an executive in a large company or being a new manager can all be challenging endeavors, and managing one’s time is crucial in these roles.
People who struggle with time management often are not focusing on one task or conversation at a time, instead they try to juggle multiple things at once when the wiser thing would be to focus their energy on the right single thing.
By being unfocused, you open yourself up to errors and if you’re a leader, being unfocused on your people can lead to frustration and low morale.
So, we have established it’s important to be focused, but what should a leader focus on? This is the focus of my time management training, and the secret of high performing leaders.
Ultimately, your time should be focused on reaching your personal and professional goals. If what you are doing is not pushing you in the direction of a clear, timely and attainable goal, you shouldn’t give it priority. Looking at your schedule through this lens is a game changer, and allows you to put your focus where it should be.
So many people get into a routine or start going down a path with a definite plan and fail to adjust where needed. This is a big issue for people who struggle with time management, because effective leaders need to be able to take a step back and ask themselves if their current course of action is the right one.
People who are effective time managers can adapt and they realize what is important and deserves their attention, and what isn’t.
My clients have enjoyed a new outlook personally and professionally after applying these simple strategies, and through one-on-one coaching I can help anyone analyze their schedule through the lens of their goals to create the habit of effective time management.
