Business-Tips for Time Management
By: Lakshmi Menon
Unless we devote enough time for our home
business we cannot expect to get positive
results. Just setting up a home business is
not sufficient. It will not run on its own.
You may think that you are fully occupied
with your home management and left with no
free time at your disposal, even though you
wished it so. If you really want to make
some extra bucks from home along with
managing your home and kids, lack of time
cannot be considered as an excuse. If that
strong will is there, all that you have to
do is make adjustments with your routine
work at home and proper time management. It
can be easily achieved by little bit of
planning and organizing our routine work.
1. It is worth remembering the old saying,
“If there is a will there is a way”. If
you organize your work in a better way you
will be surprised to find that extra time
that you very badly needed to devote towards
your home based business.
2. Spend some time thinking to find out
where your time is spent more than it is
absolutely needed. Ask yourself “Can I
manage this work by reducing 15 minutes of
my time spent for this”? If more of your
time is spent in cooking you have to sit and
think how you can finish your cooking faster
and get some time from that task. The easier
thing will be if you plan what you are going
to do in advance instead of rushing each
time. A planned work can be finished faster
than the one done without any planning.
3. Teaching the kids to be self- disciplined
and self-reliant is another method to find
time. If they can do some of their work
without your help you will get some free
time. The older child can be given the
responsibility of taking care of the younger
ones when you are busy with your home
business or other work, for which don’t
forget to reward them for their
understanding. Also engage them with
something they enjoy doing when you are busy
with your work.
4. Are you spending more time watching
television? Do you think it is absolutely
essential to spend that much time? By giving
up some of your regular serials and soaps
you will find some extra time at your
disposal.
Not only the ones mentioned above, anything
which takes your time such as gardening,
shopping, paying bills, running errands,
visiting friends and relatives, afternoon
naps, chatting and gossiping with friends
etc can be reevaluated and you will be able
to squeeze some time there.
In the beginning, this type of adjustments
will be little difficult, but soon you will
see its worth. But once your mind is set for
finding time to work for your home business,
gradually it will become a practice of
finishing your work faster. You will soon
find the extra time for what you always
wanted to do.
