Time Blocking For Retailers And Makers: 5 Habits to Unlearn as a Retail Entrepreneur Part 3

1/23/2020

Confession time: I’m a planner through and through. How about you?

Whether you like to plan like I do, prefer to keep your schedule loose and flexible, or anywhere in between, I’m sure you’ve also felt the driving need to work “on” your business more so you can take it further, faster.

Enter the practice of time blocking, which organizes your day into time slots.

This works really, really well until it doesn’t.
I don’t know a single merchant, retailer, creative, or entrepreneur — heck any person — who didn’t start the day with a well-laid plan that got run over by something unexpected.

You’ve identified your highest priorities for the day then... BAM!
  • An employee doesn’t show up on time
  • A vendor sent you something that’s different than what you ordered
  • Your important package isn’t in your hands like you counted on
  • Software and tech issues are taking longer to resolve
  • You have the ramifications of theft to deal with
Where’s the timeblock for that?!?

This episode of Retail Charm School: Time Blocking for Retailers and Makers shines a light on the time management challenges you have with running a small inventory-based business and shares insights and action steps to protect your time so you can work “on” your business and “in” your business can coexist profitably.
