As an entrepreneur in Glendale currently feeling buried, bound to your calendar reac-tively, or overwhelmed trying to balance it all, you’re not alone. Over nearly 40 years of training executives, leaders, and founders on multiplying their productivity, I’ve no-ticed most share a common frustration – lacking control over their time.
It restricts your ability to drive the business forward strategically when trapped dealing with urgent issues constantly. Through tailored time mastery coaching, I instill frame-works to take back ownership over your schedule so you dictate priorities rather than it dictating you.
Time: Where does it all go?
We start by analyzing exactly how your weeks leak away. I have clients track time spent for two weeks, categorized across different areas. Quickly high-waste activities get il-luminated, for example:
– Unproductive Meetings
– Email Correspondence
– Poor Delegation
– Context Switching
– Lack of Focus Time
– Personal Disorganization
As examples, excessive meetings or email often represent areas swallowing up 20-30 hours weekly for entrepreneurs I coach. Stop wasting time on unproductive tasks; you’ll free up a ton of energy to really make things happen.
Key Time Management Techniques
With analysis complete, I coach business owners on techniques including:
– Support Staff: Hire virtual assistants for admin tasks.
– Block Scheduling: Carve out consistent hours for thinking creatively, planning long-term, etc.
– Delegation Skills: Train managers and leverage direct reports for efficient del-egations.
– Email Rules: Triage techniques like send delays and deferred processing.
– Focus Time: Silence phone, emails, and Slack during deep work sessions.
– Nightly Planning: Set three MITs (most important tasks) to accomplish the next day.
Through a combination of tactics personalized to your situation, most entrepreneurs I coach uncover 10+ hours weekly to drive key business goals. Compound gained hours over months and years, and you unlock hundreds if not thousands of hours to-wards endeavors that accelerate revenues.
Not a Quick Fix But Sustainable Habits
While I provide frameworks, downloading tools or arbitrarily blocking time represents lip service until the habits stick. Lasting time management improvements start with building new rituals. Like a personal trainer guiding healthier routines, I encourage daily discipline until optimized calendar utilization becomes second nature.
