Business owners: How to identify where you are spending your time

What do business owners do?

Business owners, Directors and CEOs come in a variety of shapes and forms. Some are quiet and assertive, others are culture focused or results driven.

Whatever type of business owner you are, you like to think you know what you’re spending your time on, right?

But do you actually know what you are spending your time on?

Business owners can sometimes get swept away,  pulled from pillar to post with arduous tasks, so it’s reasonable to suggest that you may not be spending your time on what you think you are.

How to identify where you spend your time

Identifying where you spend your time doesn’t have to be difficult or stressful.

The best way to do this is to simply keep a list of the tasks  you do.

• Not what you need to do
• Not what you want to do
• What you actually have done only!

You could also go as far as allocating the time you spend on tasks to gain a deeper insight into your day. There are a range of free online timer tools that can help you with this, or you can simply do it the old-fashioned way – pen, paper and a clock –whatever is comfortable for you.

Why you should identify where you spend your time when thinking about Half-Retirement

You need to know where you are at the moment in order to be able to  make a positive step towards Half-Retirement without causing your business problems.

Your list of tasks will be the starting point that determines how you advance towards your Half- Retirement. From this list you will discover what you do, what you like to do and what areas of your business require a little extra “you-time.”
