Entrepreneurs often feel that despite physically leave their work area they continue immersed in their job functions.
While at first it may occasionally happen, after some time this feeling becomes part of their routine. This can be detrimental to their family life, personal well-being, and health.
Do you see yourself in any of these situations?
You don’t get rid of your Smartphone or constantly you check your company email.
You don’t take vacations because you do not trust other people to do your tasks.
Only you do the work instead of delegating it to others because only you do well the tasks.
You work even on weekends.
I must tell you that if you find yourself in these situations is likely that the balance between your personal and professional life has been lost.
Automate as many tasks as possible.
All entrepreneurs have the same amount of hours a day. The difference is that many of us have managed to automate our work through systems that help us meet our objectives.
There are many tools that can help you to automate several tasks related to your business.
Delegate all tasks that distract you from those things that are really important
When starting a business all entrepreneurs assume various responsibilities and roles. The shortage of financial and human resources force us to have to do many things while not necessarily dominate or like every task. We can spend a lot of time doing this to save money and ensure that our product or service meets the expectations that we as entrepreneurs have established.
If we want to grow our business is essential to learn to delegate the less important tasks
The time you save delegating functions allows you, focus on the overall strategy of your business and devote time to important and urgent issues.
Thus you will considerably increase your productivity.
You may wonder why I mentioned first to automate and delegate tasks. Well, according to my opinion it is because failing to automate and delegate tasks, will be very difficult to achieve what I mention below.
Every morning
Get up early. Take your time to have breakfast, take a bath and dress up.
Write your goals for the day (the most important, followed by those that have to do but urgently).
Finally check your email. If any of the emails change your goals, you make the necessary adjustments.
Plan
To achieve an order is necessary to register all your work week. In that record you must include the professional and personal tasks.
Analyze the priority of each task and divide them into important and urgent.
Avoid multitasking
An entrepreneur needs to perform dozens of tasks (especially in the in the initial stages).
But your level of focus is your best ally to increase the level of productivity and is important to give priority to meeting the most important tasks at first, and later meet with the less important tasks or delegate them to someone else.
Concentrate
Do not waste your time on distractions. To be more productive and have free time is vital that you focus on what really matters.
How often do you check your email, Facebook and cellphone?, take your own calls or leave this task to an assistant? Any of this situations will distract you from your business.
Make schedules to meet specific tasks and thus have uninterrupted time to do your job.
You need time for yourself and your social life.
Do not think that by taking time for you and your personal life you’re being less professional. In fact, if you do, your career will also benefit. Enjoy free time and do not feel bad about it.
Remember that it’s necessary to have a balance between your personal life and your business. Thus, you will not get frustrated and make ensure to succeed in your personal life and your business.
