Management is a very important skill and as freelancers this is imperative. What we need is a good management system so we can very easily find time to do the things that are most important to us. It really does not matter what profession your are in, time management is very important for all of us.
It is a very challenging thing for many of us to be able to manage time successfully. This is especially true if you are a freelancer or self employed person in any industry. In a traditional working environment it seems easier to manage your time because you have a boss giving you orders.
It is a nice feeling to be in control of your future and have no one but your self to answer to, but being disciplined is the key to success. We may not enjoy doing the paperwork, answering the phones and handling challenging customers, but this is something we have to deal with as freelancers.
If we set and maintained goals everyday, it would actually make our working day a lot easier. It is always good to write them down, either on paper or digitally. There are even goal setting programmes you can use to aid you in this process of achievement.
I think we have all be guilty of spending time daydreaming or browsing the internet looking for unimportant things during our working day. Many successful people teach that we do not always need more time, but we do need to make better use of the time we already have. Sometimes we need to share our responsibilities will others who can do better jobs than us.
A good way to be organised is to use some sort of CRM (Customer Relations Manager). This is a piece of software that stores any type of information, such as contacts, ideas, sales figures, invoices and much more. It is useful to keep your information stored in one secure place, even better if its online on a secured server with a backup utility.
As independent businessmen we all know how important it is to save money, so it is always a good idea to save your information in digital format. Gone are the days when we fills our shelves with stacks of paper. Hard-drives and USB pens are far more efficient. It also helps to create more space for you in your office or bedroom. - 31394
