Women Business Owners and Time Management

Women entrepreneurs rarely have time to think consciously about time management, but the truth is, without it they fail.

And women business owners (who are forced to manage their time more or less efficiently) sometimes forget how the rest of the world lives, until they accidently find themselves back in that space. Like driving somewhere at 10 AM. What is wrong with these people? Why are they driving so slowly? How about lunch with "the girls"?  Why do they sit there after the lunch hour has expired?

This must be the reason why women entrepreneurs seem to have an immediate link to each other. It's a sisterhood dedicated to time management. And that must be why so many women in business do a lot of their shopping online, which is good for me and my business!

A recent NY Times Blog Shifting Careers post, 5 Time-Mangement Tips, by Marci Alboher offers some great advice and links to more information expanding on these suggestions:

1. Tame the e-mail beast (including an InboxZero video presentation at Google)
2. Eliminate unnecessary meetings
3. Put up boundaries
4. Find your rhythm and schedule around it
5. Say no

Isn't that last one often the hardest for women?

I think email is the biggest problem for most people. It's spending time on Minor things while letting Major things get you down
