Create An Organised Time Management Plan So You Can Stop Screaming - Aaargh I’ve Got So Much To Do I Don’t Know Where To Start

<h1>Create An Organised Time Management Plan So You Can Stop Screaming - Aaargh I’ve Got So Much To Do I Don’t Know Where To Start</h1>Author: <a title="Sherrill Church" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/sherrill-church/164954.htm">Sherrill Church</a> You know you need to put in the hours to run your Face Painting or Children’s Entertainment business effectively, especially if you intend at some stage to ‘give up your day job’, but your other commitments elsewhere are such a drain on your time. You may have the additional responsibility of keeping home and bringing up the kids (if you have them) and sometimes it can all get too much. Oh yeah, and then there’s your social life – social life I hear you say, what social life.   You need to set a discipline in the ever-feuding battle between ‘Organisation vs. Disorganisation’.   To become smartly organised and on top of your game in your Face Painting or Children’s Entertainment business you need to think about everything, and I mean everything, that your daily and weekly life throws at you and devise a structured time management plan to help you through.   Sit down in a quiet room and make a comprehensive list of everything, yes everything that you do daily, weekly and monthly. This is the basis for your time management plan.   Your list would need to include all eventualities such as:   <ul> <li>Time to focus on your business</li> </ul>   <ul> <li>Time spent in your employment</li> </ul>   <ul> <li>Time to get ready and prepare for work</li> </ul>   <ul> <li>Time spent with your significant other</li> </ul>   <ul> <li>Time spent with your children</li> </ul>   <ul> <li>Time spent with your family</li> </ul>   <ul> <li>Time for grocery shopping</li> </ul>   <ul> <li>Time for household duties</li> </ul>   <ul> <li>Time spent socialising with friends</li> </ul>   <ul> <li>Time to exercise, take a stroll, walk the dog</li> </ul>   <ul> <li>Time for shopping, window or other</li> </ul>   <ul> <li>Time to relax, chill out, watch TV, read</li> </ul>   <ul> <li>Time for short breaks and holidays</li> </ul>   <ul> <li>Time to sleep – ah!</li> </ul>   Draft a 24/7 time plan with 30 minutes slots (a bit like an appointment diary), perhaps doing one page per day, and take every action above and feed it into the relevant time slots. Don’t forget to include empty time and quality time.   By doing this will give you a clearer picture of how much actual time can be devoted to your Face Painting or Children’s Entertainment business. If it turns out that you only have 14 hours per week available then you must make sure that you use that time effectively and prioritise each week by only doing actions in your business that are going to be wealth creation in order to move the business forward. Don’t waste those valuable 14 hours doing un-necessary tasks that will keep your business stagnant.   So stop saying that you haven’t got enough time – you probably have, you just need to make better use of it!   Sherrill Church is a small business coach and author of The Complete Book of Face Painting by Mimicks (Random House, UK) and Fantastic Fun Face Painting (Sterling Press, USA).

To become smartly organised and on top of your game in your Face Painting or Children’s Entertainment business you need to think about everything, and I mean everything, that your daily and weekly life throws at you and devise a structured time management plan to help you through.

Sit down in a quiet room and make a comprehensive list of everything, yes everything that you do daily, weekly and monthly. This is the basis for your time management plan.

Your list would need to include all eventualities such as:

Time to focus on your business

Time spent in your employment

Time to get ready and prepare for work

Time spent with your significant other

Time spent with your children

Time spent with your family

Time for grocery shopping

Time for household duties

Time spent socialising with friends

Time to exercise, take a stroll, walk the dog

Time for shopping, window or other

Time to relax, chill out, watch TV, read

Time for short breaks and holidays

Time to sleep – ah!

Draft a 24/7 time plan with 30 minutes slots (a bit like an appointment diary), perhaps doing one page per day, and take every action above and feed it into the relevant time slots. Don’t forget to include empty time and quality time.

By doing this will give you a clearer picture of how much actual time can be devoted to your Face Painting or Children’s Entertainment business.
