The Secret YOUR Schedule Reveals
Your schedule reveals a multitude of things about you. Most importantly it reveals your priorities. Could a stranger notices if YOUR Business’s Performance is important to you by looking at your schedule?
Personally and professionally, your schedule shows you what matters most to you. Small Business Owners, this is a truth. It’s a hard one to accept because we have the opportunity to be more fluid. Yet, fluidity could be what’s holding YOUR Business’s Performance back.
Your Schedule is a Self-Management Tool
Your calendar is how you manage your day. More importantly it’s how you manage yourself. This is especially true for Small Business Owners.
It cues you when you need to be doing certain things. These things are important enough to make it to your schedule.
Your schedule reveals what you have committed to and when you show up for it. It shouldn’t be used as a task list – that’s something different.
If you commit to a meeting or event, that’s a promise. You keep your promises, right?
Your calendar helps you remember your promises. Do you keep promises for your own well being and the well being of YOUR Business?
IMPORTANT: Place your self commitments on your calendar or they’ll be pushed aside for the other promises. As Stephen R. Covey says, “First things first”.
Priorities Guide Your Schedule
For the first several years of blogging, I was posting three times per week. I had it on my schedule. Blogging that often was a priority. I was doing an experiment and wanted to see how frequent blogging could improve my Business’s Performance.
It was a priority. Each week it was posted on my schedule. Even blocked off with enough time to ensure I completed this priority.
When the experiment was completed, I didn’t put it on my schedule. Guess what happened? I focused on the other priorities and haven’t been as consistent at times. This isn’t how I want to show up so I had to make a change.
What did I do? I placed it back on my schedule.
Why? That’s where my commitments, promises, and priorities are recorded to keep me performing at a high level.
