Have you ever wondered where all the time goes to each day? You start out the morning raring to go, feeling focused and ready for anything that life and business throws at you, but by the end of the day, you feel like you have hardly accomplished any of the tasks you set for yourself. Sound familiar? As entrepreneurs with increasingly busy lives, and lots of conflicting time pressures, sometimes it’s essential to take a step back and get some help when it comes to learning how to manage time better. There is a great book which might help all those battling with time management in their businesses right now. Written by Allyson Lewis, The 7 Minute Solution: Time Strategies to Prioritize, Organize & Simplify Your Life at Work & at Home is great for small business owners who have a problem planning their day. It takes a very different yet highly practical approach, encouraging readers to spend only seven minutes in the morning and seven minutes in the evening putting a business game plan together to maximize each day. If you are at that stage where every minute matters in your business and life, then this could be a good read to point you in the right time management direction.
