Time Management

Boundaries Make You More Productive

Did you know you can get more done in less time? A little over a week ago, I cut my workday in half. I went from working 8 a.m – 8 p.m. with not enough to show for it, to a very reasonable 10 a.m. – 5 p.m., with weekends off. The result: I’m accomplishing twice as much in half the time … and I’m lovin’ it!

If you set your own hours and especially if you work from home, it’s crucial to set boundaries. When my husband and I tell others that we both work from home, we’re usually met with an incredulous “I don’t have that kind of discipline … how do you do it?” type of response. The truth is that it begins and ends with boundaries.

What Tasks Make Us More Productive?

Busy? Too short on time to get everything done that’s clamoring for your attention? Yeah … me too.

In a way, it’s a nice problem to have. For me, it means business is good. But staying too busy for too long leads to burnout. And letting important things slide because you just can’t get to them isn’t the answer either.

If you can’t find the time to market your business consistently, expect a dry spell ahead. As small business owners, we are all too familiar with the feast or famine syndrome. Nine times out of ten, it’s a result of failing to find the time to promote ourselves a few weeks or months back.
