Step 4: Find Your Time Vampires

Time management isn't just about organization, it's also about identification – figuring out the elements of your business which are hindering progress. This could be something as simple as a  scheduling conflict, or something more serious like a manufacturing issue. In many instances it will be how tasks are undertaken, and how much time is given to administration.

How long do you spend answering emails or engaging on social media with potential customers and investors? Could this be streamlined? Are members of your staff unable to complete tasks quickly because of the software they are using? In some extreme circumstances you might find entire aspects of your startup's workday which need outright removal. No matter what facet of your business is taking time away from your agenda, there will always be a way to increase efficiency.

Be wary of organizational processes which are unimportant and take up too much time. In order to identify the time vampires in your routine or organizational setup, keep a log of activities for a week and see how long tasks are taking. If a task seems to be taking unreasonably long, then it probably is. You might also identify tasks or habits which take up too much time and are entirely unnecessary.
