Just like you track your business expenses, you should be tracking your time. Start thinking of it as a budget.

• Where do you want your time to go?
• What’s your top priority right now?

A simple timesheet can help you track your time daily. After a few weeks, you'll have a clear picture of your "time portfolio." From there, you can make smart decisions about where to adjust and where to invest more of your time.

Time boxing is one of the best ways to keep your focus.

Here’s how to do it:

• Pick your top 3 tasks for the week that will bring the most value to your business.
• Block out time in your calendar for each task and protect those hours at all costs.
• Don’t let distractions like meetings, calls, or coffee breaks take over those slots!

By time boxing only your most important tasks, you’ll be more focused and productive—and you’ll have room for the rest of your schedule.

Here’s the key: Find the tasks that eat up your time week after week.

• Look for tasks that take more than 2 hours each week.
• Track what feels like a repeated time drain.

Now, don’t try to fix everything at once! Every month, choose one task to tackle.

• Can you automate it?
• Can you delegate it?
• Can you just eliminate it entirely?

Focusing on one task at a time will bring the biggest improvements without overwhelming you.

The more intentional you become with your time, the more you’ll see real results.

• Spend your time on high-leverage activities.
• Outsource or eliminate tasks that don’t add value.

By investing your time in what matters, you’ll get more out of your day and move your business forward faster.
