Home Office / Small Business Time Management
Too often we confuse time management as something to do with a clock. The only thing a clock does is tell how long it takes the sun to go across the sky. And that’s an event over which we have no control.
Webster’s Dictionary says “Time is a continuum in which events succeed one another from past through present to future” Time is a series or a succession of events. If this is true then having control of your life means controlling your time, and controlling your time means controlling the events in your life. And nowhere is this more true than running your own business, especially if your working from home.
May I suggest to you that everything is an event. Here is a list of events you are probably familiar with:
- Watching this video is an event.
- Developing a business plan is an event.
- A networking lunch is an event.
- A phone call is an event.
- Planning daily tasks is an event.
- Buying a computer is an event.
- Organizing your files is an event.
Time is an occurrence of events such as these in sequence, one after the other. Rather than focusing on time, we must focus on events. Some events are more critical to your business than other events. The question now is to manage events. As Alan Lakein, an author and expert on time management emphasizes, “Control is the key concept”.
