Time is your most precious resource. It is the most valuable thing you have. It is perishable, it is irreplaceable, and it cannot be saved. It can only be reallocated from activities of lower value to activities of much higher importance to you. In many instances, sacrificing time to pursue a podcasting passion comes with struggles.
Knowing how to use time wisely so that you can maximize productivity will pay of beautifully once you begin to build your influence and podcast brand.
I used to think that time management was only a business tool, however it really can help spread podcasting awareness and allow you to be more creative and do more with your podcast. Having time to actually dedicate all of your attention to the podcast and be able to get ahead of the game by recording multiple episodes at once really will relieve stress and keep podcasting fun.
Podcasting should be your passion to begin with or else you're in the wrong industry. But not having enough time or cramming podcasts together can be stressful and detrimental to the quality of your podcasts, which could severely tarnish your podcasting reputation and leave you not wanting to continue podcasting.
In order to better time out your podcast and manage it effectively, you need to understand what goes into being able to spare time out of your busy day. With a few simple tweaks to your everyday life, you'll be making more time for your podcast in no time!
By using these 6 techniques to manage your time, you will put your podcast on the fast track to success.
1) Develop a sense of urgency
2) Stop Procrastinating
3) Always think on paper
4) Work in real time instead of planning for later
5) Make a visual to-do list
6) Create an environment conducive to productivity
Always work from a list. When something new comes up, add it to the list before you do it so that you don't throw off the schedule that you have created. Incorporating your podcasting schedule and to-do lists into your everyday life will make time creation easier and less of a task.
Training yourself within your everyday life to be more task oriented and hold time to a higher standard will ease the difficulty of keeping a consistent and timely podcasting schedule.
