Explained: The Reason Why You Never Have Enough Time (and How to Fix It!) -- TTG025

Hi, Peter Boolkah here and welcome to today's edition of The Transition Guy where we are going to be covering the default diary. This is a follow on from the Steven Covey's Time Matrix edition, so make sure that you've covered that first. So we're back on time and the first question I want to ask you as business owners and entrepreneurs is do you have a robust diary in place? do you have set times for set things? Chances are the answer to that is no. That means you don’t make the best of your time and then wonder why you don’t have time. Looking at the Covey Matrix, we will look at the stuff that you should be doing and boxing it so we are most efficient.

So really if you want to start operating in a more efficient manner, you've got to change the way you work and that's where the default diary comes in is actually starting to say, "How do I zone my days? How do I zone my weeks? How do I start to be more structured?"

Make sure you have time for your marketing. Make sure you have time for your training of your team. Make sure you have time to do your admin stuff, to do your marketing and all of the other things that business owners need to do. So put the time in. If you don't block it out, remember the rocks. If you don't schedule it in and put it in your diary, either rubbish will take its place, you will never be in control, you will never take the business to A, where you wanted it to go when you first started a business and B, where the business can go. That's it for today and remember, failing to learn is learning to fail.
