www.commoncraft.com We've spent years at Common
Craft creating a business
that scales like a startup, but with only two employees. Time management and
planning are key. Our philosophy comes down to the idea that you plant the
garden you want to tend. We are very intentional
about the seeds we plant
because some plants may suck up all of your time without providing any
nutrition.

www.tammylevent.com As CEO of Elite Travel my days are filled with several
things that I need to do. At the same time I also have several projects on the side
such as training travel agents through
my Travel Agent Success Kit, speaking at
conferences worldwide and contributing to a number of publications. Needless
to say, it’s never a dull moment. I’m always asked how I do it all and it boils
down to two simple things—First, I text myself
a daily list of tasks I must
complete before my work day is done and then as I complete them I delete them
from my list. Second, if I don’t have time to fit something in I’ll either
reschedule it for the next day or if I can I’ll outsource it. In fact, outsourcing
frees up a lot of time for me.
I have a writer, a web designer, a graphic artist,
other agents, and more that I can call on to handle tasks for me. If you need to
free up time in your schedule I would highly recommend outsourcing. It doesn’t
cost as much as you might think and it will open up
a world of possibilities for
you.

www.TheAudacitytoPodcast.com Make appointments with yourself. I often
struggle with getting around to do things. I get wrapped
up in one project and
forget the other things I need to do. That's where making and following my own
calendar helps. Schedule time to work on nothing but that task that needs to be
done. I even have "email processing" and "social-network participation"
scheduled into my average days. This gives me dedicated time to focus on these
tasks. It also gives me freedom in the rest of the day
to avoid being distracted by
those tasks because I know I have a set time for handling them.
