The #1 System to Get Your Time Back
May 31, 2025
Setting up key systems in your business isn’t just a nice-to-have.
It’s a non-negotiable if you want to scale, increase your revenue, and stop feeling like your business is running you.
Today, we’re tackling one practice that will allow your business to grow smoother and faster and that is - knowing EXACTLY where your time is going AND how to get more of it back.
Because here’s the truth: if you don’t control your time, it will control you.
Most business owners fall into one of these traps. Instead of focusing on strategic or revenue-creating tasks they:
- Mistake being busy for being productive—but most of their time is spent on low-value tasks.
- Run their days with no real structure, leading to constant overwhelm.
- Get caught up in reactive work-endless emails, last-minute content creation, unplanned calls, and urgent-but-unimportant tasks
You might be working 40+ hours a week… but how much of that is actually spent growing your business?
Without a clear system, the answer is: not enough.
Today’s Action: Audit Your Time (20 min)
Before we fix your time management, we need to see where your time is going.
- Use a time log or diary or a task management software. Start by listing your activities, then record start and end times for each task. At the end of the day, review your log to analyse your time usage and identify areas for improvement
- Spot the gaps - where are you losing time to distractions, inefficiencies, or reactive work?
- Decide: What can you automate, delegate, or eliminate?
This might feel small, but it’s the first step to getting back in control. The next is to make sure that your time working for you, not against you. We'll discuss that next time!
For now - let me know how this exercise goes!
P.S. If you want to start managing your time like a pro now, let’s work together.
