Face the facts. There is no way to manage time itself. You can't move 2pm to 9am just because you want to. You can't stretch an hour by 5 minutes. Oh, but I wish I could. And I bet that if you had the "magic power" you would manipulate time too. Management means that you can move things around and rearrange things. This is so not the case with time. It is what it is. A minute is a minute and they are whizzing by right now. The video below will give you a framework to think about time in a new way. This is two minutes well spent.

One of the most important skills to have as a business owner is to know how to set up a simple process, for yourself as well as others.
The first thing to do is get all the pieces and parts required to do the process together in one place, or at the very least listed on a piece of paper.
If I'm looking to figure how to use a new piece of equipment, the first thing I want to know is how to turn it on and off and how to adjust it. Most people don't read instructions or take tutorials, but I find that by taking the instructional tutorial for new software or new equipment I can use the equipment better and get more out of it.
