Learning the art of self management as entrepreneurs

I was reading a really interesting social media post earlier today which I am sure will make lots of sense to all those entrepreneurs, particularly startups, who have to get the art of daily time management right in business. The article looked at entrenching good habits, particularly around making the most of creative time - the notion of being a maker in the morning and a manager in the afternoon. It makes sense if you think about it. As your own boss and manager of your time, you have to maximize your most creative hours when you are at your freshest, usually the morning when your energy levels are at their height. It then makes sense to tackle the more menial, administrative tasks in the business in the latter part of the day in the afternoon and early evening. However, this approach does take a certain amount of self discipline. For example, making it a rule not to constantly monitor your smartphone for messages or social media activity, and to ignore emails or restrict them appearing on your screens and mobile devices by restricting internet access or through apps like SelfControl. Learning the art of self management is one of the keys to success as entrepreneurs, but it is worth all the effort when you see the results.
