The Spinosa Factor

As of late time management has been an utter nightmare for me in terms of being able to address current and future client needs while still plotting a course for the future of Unleashed Technologies, LLC (UT). Recently I spent time engaged with a good friend of mine in relation to my time management issue. Now my friend is an executive solely focused on sales and it was a breath of fresh air to hear how he managed his schedule because it was always full. He discussed where he’d made cuts in his schedule and how he’d structured his daytime hours to maximize efficiency, response time, and help focus on client needs.

Then I realized… that’s one of the four primary roles I support on a daily basis. The luxury of splitting staff into focused roles is something that has to happen for my sanity and the forward progress of UT but expansion is a little less than popular right now even though we grow every month by a fair percentage. My four separate roles that have me serving as a COO, CEO, Sales Executive, and Project Manager.

Luckily since we have been growing additions to the team have certainly taken a fair amount of work of my plate in terms of project management but that does not mean I’m not still busier than a one legged man in an ass kicking contest. I’ve actually found a way to effectively manage these items and it starts with pre-planning my day the night before and utilizing the very early morning hours to finish internal work for the company. No matter how you slice it as a public representative your going to spend most of the day answering emails, talking with clients, and getting stuck in meetings. By waking up two hours earlier I’m hoping with a plan put in place the night before I’m learning that all items can be completed in a single day..

I mean I’m making a blog post for the first time in how long?
