The 9-Step Plan to Managing Your Time

by Daria Steigman on July 13, 2010

9-Step Time Management Plan for Business | Steigman Communications, llc | Independent ThinkingMy latest column for IABC’s CW Bulletin is out, and it is about time: how we claim it as business owners, and how we can manage it to keep ourselves from being overwhelmed or letting critical tasks and projects slip through the cracks.

It can be a challenge for even the most organized. I’ve written before that it doesn’t take a superhero. While I wish I had a time turner, like Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter books, I live in a world where the wizardry is really just a product of hard work.

The column looks at 9 strategies for managing your business. They range from identifying the five business buckets to prioritizing the big stuff to understanding cash-flow cycles.

You can read it here.  Then come back and tell me: What would you add?

It Doesn’t Take a SuperHero

by Daria Steigman on October 9, 2009

Shazam!Why do people keep asking, “how do you find the time to…” [fill in the blank]? Lately, the question’s been in relation to social media, but I’ve heard it in a lot of business contexts over the years.

I don’t have a time turner, so I haven’t figured out yet how to be in two places at once.

News flash — I don’t find the time, I make the time. It’s all about prioritizing. Family and friends, client work, business development, networking, learning, and so forth. I can’t tell you how to organize the 24 hours in your day, but I can tell you there’s no magic formula.

So next time someone asks you how you find the time, remind them it’s all about setting priorities.
