5 Step Time Management Skills You Need To Know

Article Category: Advice

Author Name: Noelle Pachao

Time management skills are crutial to have to be productive and successful in your business. One of the best webinars I've ever listen to was Empower Network's Tracey Walker interview on 5 step time management skills everyone should know.

Time Management Step #1: Identify IPA's and Separate Them From "Necessary Things" To Be Done

We all have lots to do or get done. However there are those entrepreneurs that seem to get it all done, be happy, and still have time for fun, and family!

Learned to identify those specific activities that are Income Producing Activities (IPA's) and do those no matter what! You can easily spend a bunch of time doing "stuff" that isn't directly related to generating sales or income. And when that habit is formed, you usually feel overwhelmed, frustrated, confused, etc. The reason is because you are not totally clear on what it is you need to do to make money, directly.

So in order to to help alleviate those issues, identify the things that are directly tied to your income versus other things you just need to do and begin to understand how these time management skills can assist you.

Time Management Step #2: Select A 2-hr Block Of Time Where You Work Optimally

We were taught to go to work every day for 8-10 hours, then fit the rest of their life into the time that is left over. So I'm sure its hard for you to understand that you can work less and actually make more.

What makes this possible is the fact that your income is no longer tied to the time you spend doing "stuff". At our jobs, we go to work for 8 hrs, and we are paid for being there those 8 hours. Whether we ride the clock, spend time on the phone or actually do the job assigned, you are paid for the time you are present. If you take off, generally you are not paid for that time unless it is accumulated sick days or something like that.

Your money isn't tied to the time it takes you to get the job done. It is ONLY tied to the effectiveness of you reaching your ideal customer and demonstrating to them why they should buy from you. If that takes you 1 hour, then great! If it takes you 3, that's okay too. But to take 8 hrs to complete your IPA's in your business means you are clouding your activities with non-IPA's and those need to be removed.

So, select the 2-hr window during the day where you will have no interruptions, no distractions and can work focused for the entire time block.

Time Management Step #3: Create Your To-Do List Each Night

After you have identified the few IPA's in your business, and selected the 2-hr productivity block, the next thing you must do is to write your IPA's down as part of your actions for the next day.

If you take the time the night before to consider what needs to be done the next business day and get it sorted out then, the next morning you are able to jump in and immediately get started! There is nothing to think about, you know what you need to do...so simply do it!

This helps to build the habit of planning...because we all know "failing to plan, is planning to fail".

As you continue to build on the right habits, you form patterns that are successful patterns as opposed to unsuccessful ones, like procrastination.

Take a few minutes, plan out the next day of IPA's and give yourself a shot at being as productive and effective as you can in the time you have allotted to work your business.

Time Management Step #4: How To Use The 2-Hr Block and Be Productive

So now that we have our IPA's identified, our 2-hr time window blocked off and our to-do list completed, it is time to get to work and use the time management skills we have talked about already. And here's how you are going to do it...follow along precisely.

1. Take any stopwatch or phone and set it to 60 min. Hit the start button. During this 60 min block, you are going to blow through your list of IPA's, getting them done, efficiently. You are to focus only on the list of things you wrote down the night before and nothing else.
2. Once the stopwatch goes off and those 60 min are up, STOP working. Be accountable to your own time!
3. Rest the timer now for 10 min and start. During these 10 minutes, this is a debriefing phase for you to take a break. Do whatever you like here. Grab a snack, meditate, return a phone call, check email, whatever. Just so long as you are not "working". Once that 10-min break timer goes off..STOP. It's time to get back to work!
4. Set the stopwatch one last time for another 60 min and start. Continue to work through your list of IPA's over this time and remember to stay focused. No phone, no Facebook, no email, no nothing! Only IPA's are to be done here! Once the stopwatch goes off this time, you are done working or the day!

Time Management Step #5: Rinse and Repeat

So you have now finished a day's work in your business. You have also done it maybe for the first time using these types of time management skills. How does it feel to have only worked 2 hours but still have all your income producing activities done for a change?

You should now feel a sense of completion, accomplishment and happiness.

Now all you have to do is repeat steps 3 and 4 over and over and over again, making adjustments in your IPA's where required.

Having Time Management Skills Can Change Your Life!

Once you really get good at performing your IPA's in short spurts of time, you'll realize that life is so much more rewarding. You'll have more time to spend with your husband or wife, your children or whatever.
