Sustainable time management tips for the self-employed and entrepreneurs: More money through efficiency and sustainability
// By Simone Janson

Time management is only for people who have too much time, many and especially self-employed think - and overlook the fact that efficiency and sustainable business significantly contributes to the success of a company.

How self-organization and time management significantly contribute to the success of your business

You may have heard about time management before, but you have never had the time to study it. But as a self-employed person you should, because time is money - and it's your money and your time wasting on bad work organization, not your boss's money. The impact of this can be demonstrated once a year by the global productivity study by American consulting firm Proudfoot Consulting:

On average, 32,5 days a year are wasted in German companies - due to management errors such as too much administration, duplication and endless conferences. Time is money: the German economy loses 170 billions of euros per year. The Germans are still doing well in an international comparison. Worldwide, 30 percent of the working time worked is spent unproductively.

Optimize processes: Work organization under control

Maybe you are just a relatively small company, maybe even a one-man operation with a very manageable structure and few orders left. But the more your business grows, the more customers it has, and the more jobs you need to handle side-by-side, that is, the more your business grows, the more important it becomes to have your work organization under control.

Because the bigger you get, the more effort you have: The bureaucratic effort grows, for example due to demands of the tax office or the hiring of employees, you have to create more files, manage more projects, keep track of more appointments and much more. Then it is good if you have worked in a well-organized and structured way from the outset, preferably right at the start of your formation. After all, if wrong work techniques are involved, it is even harder to change these behaviors afterwards.

Ecological business on the rise

An equally important aspect today is sustainable, ecological management: More and more entrepreneurs understand the importance of being actively involved in the environment and of carrying these activities outside. Because entrepreneurs are an important pillar of society.

The environmentally conscious, efficient organization of all workflows needs to be well planned and thought out. Take advantage of periods in which you have few jobs targeted to practice time management techniques and implement sustainability rather than just sitting around waiting for new customers. Then you are prepared when suddenly you are overrun by orders and customers.

Work organization under control = company under control

But even if you intend to remain a microenterprise, it is important that you have your time management under control: the better you plan your time, the more you can accomplish in the time you have available. Because the success of your company depends not only on your expertise: "Who has his work organization under control, has his business under control," a (slightly modified) proverb. Not without reason: For what advantage do you have, if you have many orders, but only little money for it, because you have not properly assessed your time and bad negotiation? Or what brings you, if you deserve well, but have forgotten important dates at the tax office? And what do you get out of it, if you are competent and committed, but delay important decisions and thus lose customers?

The health suffers

But not only productivity, but also your health suffers from bad time management. "Of course," you will say, "Everyone has stress, that's something completely normal these days. If you have time, you are doing something wrong. " In fact, it is just chic among start-ups to be rung several times a day by mobile phone or to complain about the constant on-going load. But does that make sense? The fact is: Who does not begrudge himself regular time off, stays permanently unhealthy and thus productive. And thus the success of the company is again endangered. Therefore, ensure a balance between work and private life and separate both - as a self-employed person, this is not as easy as you may have noticed. Only then can you be motivated and happy in the long term.

As a self-employed person, you have a clear advantage in designing your work organization: you are not dependent on the requirements of a supervisor, but you are the boss yourself and can organize it in the way that suits you best. But that also has its drawbacks: you have to organize yourself practically, nobody forces you to work and nobody stops you from working too much. And you have to make all decisions yourself. This can be onerous in the long term.

Organization helps to work more productively

After all, optimal work organization not only helps you to work better and more productively, but also to convince others of your qualities. How an optimal effect on others, be it employees or customers, is practically also the result of a good self-organization. Because: Other people notice uncertainties very quickly - whether these are missing motivation and goals or poor planning and preparation of your work. The more motivated and confident you are of yourself and the better organized and prepared you will meet others, the more competent you will be to the outside and the better you can convince others of yourself. And the more organized you work, the better and more efficiently you can plan and conduct work processes with others.

You find time management techniques cumbersome and believe they have no time for that? This only seems to you at the beginning. Research shows that you have to practice a technique twenty-one times before it becomes flesh-and-blood. Then do it automatically! Your previous, possibly less effective way of working, you have learned at some point. Just try something new!

Steps to successful time management

Good work organization therefore affects the success of your company in several respects. Take a look at the following examples of typical self-employed situations. They make it clear that the best organization can greatly enhance the success of a business and that reading it helps you to do so. Maybe you will recognize yourself in one situation or another.

After reading this text

Mr. A. just can not get motivated to work. Tomorrow, tomorrow is his motto. How should that be?

Mr. A. has been aware of what he has and what is needed. Since he now knows what he wants, it is much easier for him to control it and he does not postpone even unpleasant work.

Mr. S. does not manage to win new customers because he himself is not quite convinced of his performance.

Mr. S. has analyzed his strengths and weaknesses and now knows what he can and can not do. That motivates him.

Ms. P. has made her goals clear and now knows what she wants. Then she chooses the projects and rejects projects that promise no long-term success. This will help you focus on the essentials and do your job better.

Ms. L. is often tired and exhausted. She works day and night and yet she will not finish. She often has the feeling that she is working and can not get anything done.

Mr. K. has created an efficient system of order in which it is easy for him to deposit and recover things. He also found the right organizer for his addresses and scheduling after some trial and error.

Mrs C. wants your customers to be always satisfied. If someone complains, that's a big blow for you, because she just can not handle her own mistakes.

Mr. F. Feels simply overwhelmed by the daily rushing to him work: Doing his real work, do the accounting, receive customer calls, stay in the industry always up to date - that's just not.

Mr. F. has hired an employee on 400-Euro-Basis, to whom he simply delegates work. He has also simplified the bureaucracy and now knows better with the daily flood of information from newspapers, industry magazines, textbooks and eMails deal. For customers, he is only partially accessible.

Mrs. N. takes a long time to make decisions. If the decision is then made, you often think about it for a long time.

Mrs. N. has discovered systematic decision-making methods for herself. So she can clarify her decision making process. And even after she is no longer uncertain, but can make it...
