As an entrepreneur, you know your business involves a lot of efforts and includes many time-consuming tasks.
When I started my business I did my best efforts,
- I worked many hours a day.
- I hardly slept
- I used several time management techniques, but none worked for me.
- I studied and trained as much as possible in several areas of my business
But there came a time when responsibilities surpassed me.
- I started postponing tasks
- Some new projects required skills I didn’t have
- I had many ideas to develop my business but had no time to carry them out.
I realized that despite my efforts my business didn’t grow as I wanted and I had to do something to solve this problem.
So I decided to make a list of tasks that although were important for my business, were time-consuming.
Maybe this list can help you to identify tasks that consume much of your time.
