Business Development: Allocating Time for Time Efficiency

Making the most out of your day can be ensured in as little as 10–15 minutes.

If you’re a fan of Brian Tracy then I’m sure you’re familiar with his bit on making everything you do more efficient. When you’re a “solo-preneur” you really have to balance your time with client work, content production, marketing strategies, email follow ups, meetings, CRM, lead generation, and so much more. It gets difficult to know where to begin AND because you are your own boss it’s easy to get distracted or put too much emphasis on one aspect over another.

The answer to becoming more efficient is simple and not so unique.

Ready?

Write down the tasks you wish to work on and accomplish the night before or early morning of. If you have large tasks, create chunks that are efficient to making the entire task accomplished before the deadline. That way you can work on each task on your list until it is done in its entirety.

Plan out your day, work your plan, and achieve more. It is one of those things that you have to try and really act on in order to see the result.

Planning your day makes your day way more efficient. That is how Gary Vaynerchuk is able to schedule out 5 minute, 10 minute, 2 minute meetings with his employees without missing a beat, without missing his family time, and without missing a Jets game.

That is how I am able to answer emails, generate content, improve my pitch, engage on social media, work on client work, and simply am able to operate my business.

Try it for a week. See how you feel. Get up at 4:30 or 5:00am and write down the most important things you want to accomplish by the time you end your work day. Let me know how you feel about your efficiency on twitter at Erick Hoxter.
