Time management for sole traders

Every business owner is incredibly busy, and as a sole trader, you have even bigger demands on your time, as you’re having to do everything yourself. So let’s look at some specific time management tips for sole traders to make your lives that little bit easier.Time management is really ‘activity’ management

Prioritize

The most important things need to be done first

Switch off notifications

Turn off your electronic notifications (e.g., email, Facebook, Twitter, etc.)

Learn to say no

You can’t do it all, and when you have a meeting in the diary you probably find it quite easy to say ‘no’ to another one at the same time.

Get good at planning

People who feel overwhelmed often find that things ‘creep up on them’ and that they have too much to do in too little time.

Outsource and automate

Get a virtual assistant to help with anything

Use a diary system

Don’t rely on your memory as it is easy to forget things and overcommit yourself
