Time management is always a MAJOR issue when you work from home, freelance, work on a contract basis or run your own business. It’s very easy to get side-tracked from what’s important. One of the things my mentor David Ledoux always instilled in me is… Tracking what takes up most of my time. Basically taking a notepad and writing down how much time I spend on activities. WHY? Avoid Frustration and wasted time!

By knowing how much time you spend on things you can then look at what’s most important and make a suitable timetable which will allow you to dedicate more time to such activities.  BONUS - You’ll also be able to tell how much of your valuable time is being spent “wasted”. Things that distracts you. Things you can avoid doing. Also consider this - even though something is important or cash generating, does not mean it should take up most of your time. This is when you should consider getting some additional help.
