Episode 54: Time Management for Your Part-Time or Side Business

Time management can be more challenging for part-time business owners. Whether you work full time, run another business part time, or rely on several part time jobs or gigs, if your yarn-related business is part time, you may struggle to manage your time and stay productive. In this episode, I share my time management approach to being a part-time business owner: Start by setting your short- and long-term goals Look for "chunks" of time in your schedule that can be devoted to your business Arrange the activities required to meet your goals into types of tasks Organize the tasks into your available time slots Find a time management system that works for you Don't compare yourself to other businesses (especially those run by full timers) Find social support You can hear more details by listening to this episode.
