It&#8217;s probably always been hard, but the challenge seems to have\u00a0increased with the speed of modern life and the ability to be over-connected all the time. During the parenting years, effective time management begins with a clear focus on long-term priorities and an acknowledgement\u00a0that life&#8217;s seasons are short. Just keeping that in mind can help you focus on the most important things.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\" https:\/\/www.doingwhatmatters.com\/time-management-for-entrepreneurial-parents\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2871\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/doingwhatmatters.com\/time-management-for-entrepreneurial-parents\/time-management-entrepreneurial-parents\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/doingwhatmatters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/time-management-entrepreneurial-parents.png?fit=560%2C315&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"560,315\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"time-management-entrepreneurial-parents\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/doingwhatmatters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/time-management-entrepreneurial-parents.png?fit=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/doingwhatmatters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/time-management-entrepreneurial-parents.png?fit=560%2C315&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2871\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.doingwhatmatters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/time-management-entrepreneurial-parents.png?resize=560%2C315&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Time management for entrepreneurial parents. \" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/doingwhatmatters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/time-management-entrepreneurial-parents.png?w=560&amp;ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/doingwhatmatters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/time-management-entrepreneurial-parents.png?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/doingwhatmatters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/time-management-entrepreneurial-parents.png?resize=520%2C293&amp;ssl=1 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h1>Making time for things that matter<\/h1>\n<p>Creating a life focused on things that matter often means steadily\u00a0downshifting to stay focused\u00a0on eternal values. It&#8217;s not easy to do, especially with a web-centered microbusiness. The loudest voices on the internet insist that it&#8217;s necessary to be online and constantly\u00a0engaged in order to be successful. Some days it seems\u00a0that only a hair&#8217;s breadth separates providing reasonable\u00a0service to others from losing your real life\u00a0to screen time, especially social media.<\/p>\n<h2>Look Up: It&#8217;s Time to Create a Real Life<\/h2>\n<p>So it is it possible to live with a focus on things that matter while running an online business? It is, and it&#8217;s worth it. Here, with an inescapable touch of irony, writer and speaker <a href=\"http:\/\/garyturk.com\/\">Gary Turk<\/a> uses YouTube to share a story of choosing to live life fully (or not).\u00a0It is worth watching.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Z7dLU6fk9QY?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h1>I Corinthians 13\u00a0for entrepreneurial\u00a0parents<\/h1>\n<p>Being\u00a0successful in business\u00a0starts with being successful in things that matter most.\u00a0Here then, with apologies to I Corinthians 13, are a few\u00a0thoughts on keeping priorities in view.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<ul>\n<li>Though I write with the eloquence of angels, but leave no time for my family, I become as discordant as sounding brass, or shallow as a tinkling cymbal.<\/li>\n<li>And though I have 100,000 followers on social media, and can offer good counsel on all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, yet ignore those closest to me, my knowledge amounts to nothing.<\/li>\n<li>And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I sacrifice all my time to answer customer queries, yet fail to love my neighbor or be present for my family, my good works profit me nothing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>I don&#8217;t get this right all the time, and I&#8217;ve never met an entrepreneurial parent who felt they did.\u00a0Staying focused on priorities is an ongoing challenge, but keeping that desire in mind is the place to begin. I have learned that\u00a0values-focused time management, in which I schedule my highest priorities on the same calendar as my business tasks is one of the best ways to stay on track.\u00a0Some of the most effective time management tips are the simplest.<\/p>\n<h2>Values-focused time management<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Keep work confined to the work day<\/li>\n<li>Reserve evenings for reading, contemplation, and family time<\/li>\n<li>Keep Saturday for home projects, community festivals, or family festivities<\/li>\n<li>Celebrate\u00a0Sunday as the sabbath, for worship, reflection, reading, home, and family.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When I remember to do these things, life is sweet. Work gets done; home and family are\u00a0cared for; there is time for reading and prayer; as well as time for fun. When life gets lopsided and either work or life is out of balance,\u00a0it can feel as if\u00a0something of value is missing. Some season of life are busier than others, but with a clear awareness of values and priorities, you can make necessary adjustments.<\/p>\n<h3>Three things you can do right now<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Begin by keeping a sabbath day of rest, even if your faith tradition does not expect\u00a0it<\/li>\n<li>Create a home that encourages time together, with games, books, music, and if possible, outdoor spaces\u00a0for gathering<\/li>\n<li>Learn to flow with the seasons of life, and do the right thing in the right season (children grow up quickly)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Entrepreneur-specific\u00a0time management suggestions<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Turn off <strong>all<\/strong> electronic notifications, so that you can work and rest uninterrupted (it&#8217;s amazing how much easier it is to\u00a0focus on priorities\u00a0when there are no distracting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.doingwhatmatters.com\/just-say-no-to-desktop-notifications-other-dings-and-beeps\/\">dings and beeps<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li>Designate specific times and places to check e-mail and social media (never in your bedroom,\u00a0during mealtime, or during family time)<\/li>\n<li>Try to confine business activities to business hours (not always possible if you must moonlight in order to build a microbusiness, but that is a topic for another day; moderation is still essential)<\/li>\n<li>Develop <a href=\"https:\/\/www.doingwhatmatters.com\/how-make-pay-5stage-business-model\/\">passive income streams<\/a> so that you don&#8217;t have to be present in order to be earning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"attachment_579\" style=\"width: 267px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.doingwhatmatters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/grandchildren-spring-2014-sm.jpeg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-579\" data-attachment-id=\"579\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/doingwhatmatters.com\/time-management-for-entrepreneurial-parents\/grandchildren-spring-2014-sm\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/doingwhatmatters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/grandchildren-spring-2014-sm.jpeg?fit=515%2C600&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"515,600\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"grandchildren-spring-2014-sm\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Sometimes you just need to dabble in the fountain. &lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/doingwhatmatters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/grandchildren-spring-2014-sm.jpeg?fit=258%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/doingwhatmatters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/grandchildren-spring-2014-sm.jpeg?fit=515%2C600&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-579 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.doingwhatmatters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/grandchildren-spring-2014-sm-257x300.jpeg?resize=257%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Time spent with children is never lost. \" width=\"257\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-579\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sometimes you just need to dabble in the fountain.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Above all, try to stay focused on the things that matter most.
