3 Ways to Stop Wasting Time and Stay Laser Focused

Goal Setting & Achievement Podcast: Business|Productivity

Most entrepreneurs have a difficult time understanding exactly how to stop wasting time. When you’re self-employed, it’s easy to take a “short break” to surf the internet, check email, return a call, talk to a peer who stops by your office, or read blogs, but those “short breaks” can easily turn into hours of wasted time each day. This includes unnecessary chats with colleagues, long lunches, or non-focused or misguided meetings that do not accomplish goals and resolve issues.

The success of your business venture depends on your ability to buckle down and learn how to stay laser focused. Let’s talk about three essential steps to help you stop wasting time, stay focused, and have productive work days, so you can be on the path of achieving your goals.

1. Always Prioritize

2. Get Organized

Answer this question, How much time do you think you waste each day? Remember it all adds up. Five minutes here, 10 minutes there, and 30 minutes on something fun yet not productive.

Did you know that some of the most productive people in the world swear by time blocking? Ever heard of Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Michael Hyatt, or Cal Newport? Yep – all time-blockers. They’re squeezing every drop of productivity from their days, and so can you.

Consider using a time log to occasionally monitor what you do with your time every day for a week or two. You might be amazed at how you actually spend your time versus how you think you spend your time. To download a sample time log, go to http://www.accountabilitycoach.com/time-log/. Simple instructions come with this exercise to help you fill it out.

3. Delegate! Delegate! Delegate!
