1 Set realistic goals

One of the first steps to managing your time is to set realistic and achievable goals for yourself and your farm. You may have a vision of what you want to accomplish, but you also need to consider your resources, constraints, and challenges. Break down your long-term goals into smaller, measurable, and specific objectives that you can track and review regularly. For example, if you want to increase your crop yield, you may set a goal to apply a certain amount of fertilizer per acre by a certain date.

Do what has to happen on certain days and if time allows do more of the less important things. I worked a full-time job, then came home and changed 3 lines of hand sprinkler pipe every day. It was a hard road for many a year, but I never lost sight of the end game. My hard work helped make my payments every year. And today I own my place.

2 Prioritize your tasks

Another key step to managing your time is to prioritize your tasks according to their urgency and importance. You may have a long list of things to do, but not all of them are equally critical or valuable. You can use a matrix or a tool like the Eisenhower Box to categorize your tasks into four quadrants: urgent and important, important but not urgent, urgent but not important, and neither urgent nor important. Focus on the tasks that are urgent and important first, then plan ahead for the ones that are important but not urgent. Delegate or eliminate the tasks that are urgent but not important or neither urgent nor important.

3 Create a routine

Creating a routine can help you establish a rhythm and structure for your day. You can use a calendar, a planner, or an app to schedule your tasks and activities, and stick to them as much as possible. Having a routine can also help you avoid distractions and procrastination, and make you more productive and efficient. For example, you may have a routine of checking your email and messages first thing in the morning, then doing your most important tasks before lunch, then taking a break, then doing some less urgent tasks in the afternoon, then wrapping up your day with some administrative work.

Working long hours on the farm can take a toll on your physical and mental health. That's why it's important to take breaks and rest throughout the day and week. Taking breaks can help you recharge your energy, refresh your mind, and prevent burnout. You can use your breaks to do something relaxing, enjoyable, or fun, such as reading a book, listening to music, or playing with your pets. Resting can help you recover from the stress and fatigue of your work, and improve your sleep quality and mood. You can rest by getting enough sleep, taking naps, or doing some meditation or yoga.
