Time Management Tips for People Who Don’t Have Time for Time Management

Let’s be honest: if you had time to read a time management book, you wouldn’t need one.

As a business leader, your calendar is a game of Tetris, your inbox is a digital avalanche, and your to-do list? More like a to-don’t list. You’re not alone. Many executives find themselves overwhelmed by administrative tasks, leaving little room for strategic thinking and growth.​

But here’s the good news: you don’t have to do it all. With the right support, you can reclaim your time and focus on what truly matters.

The Executive Time Crunch: A Common Challenge

According to a study by Harvard Business Review, CEOs spend an average of 62.5 hours per week working, with only 24% of that time dedicated to strategic tasks. 

That’s a lot of time spent on activities that could be delegated.

Enter the Executive Assistant

An Executive Assistant (EA) is a professional who specializes in handling administrative tasks, allowing you to focus on high-impact activities. From managing your calendar to coordinating meetings, an EA ensures your day runs smoothly.

Benefits of an EA:

  • Efficient Scheduling: They manage your calendar, ensuring you have time for strategic thinking.
  • Email Management: They filter and prioritize emails, so you only see what matters.
  • Task Delegation: They handle routine tasks, freeing up your time.​

By delegating these tasks, you can focus on what you do best: leading your business.​

Time Management Strategies for Busy Leaders

Even with an EA, implementing effective time management strategies can further enhance productivity.

1. Time Blocking

Allocate specific blocks of time for different tasks. This method helps in maintaining focus and reducing distractions. For instance, dedicate mornings to strategic planning and afternoons to meetings. 

2. The Eisenhower Matrix

Prioritize tasks based on urgency and importance. This matrix helps in identifying tasks that require immediate attention and those that can be delegated. ​

3. The Pomodoro Technique

Work in focused intervals (typically 25 minutes) followed by short breaks. This technique enhances concentration and prevents burnout. ​
