1 Prioritize Tasks

Imagine your daily tasks as a stack of weighted objects. Some are heavy, requiring immediate attention, while others are lighter and can wait. To manage your time effectively, you must prioritize tasks based on urgency and importance. Start by identifying the critical tasks that will have the most significant impact on your business. Use tools like the Eisenhower Matrix to categorize tasks into four quadrants: urgent and important, important but not urgent, urgent but not important, and neither urgent nor important. This method helps you focus on what truly matters, ensuring that you're not just busy, but productive.

El artículo es excelente y tomando en cuenta que la matriz de Eisenhower es una herramienta óptima para lograr mantener una metodología de la gestión del tiempo logrando así planificar, priorizar y delegar según corresponda. En mi experiencia hemos logrado mantener un esquema de trabajo dedicado con las buenas prácticas de gestión de tiempo y sin duda alguna la herramienta nos ha permitido lograr cumplir objetivos con enfoques dirigidos hacia el cumplimento efectivo y lograr mejor la productividad con el mejoramiento continuo empresarial.

2 Automate Work

Automation is your silent partner in the software business, tirelessly working behind the scenes to streamline operations. As a software engineer, you have the unique advantage of creating custom tools to automate mundane tasks. Whether it's setting up continuous integration and deployment pipelines for your code or using project management software to keep track of progress, automation saves precious time. Consider implementing automated billing systems, customer relationship management tools, and other software that can take repetitive tasks off your hands, freeing you up to focus on innovation and growth.

Agreed with the mentioned point. As a company you might think its a additional cost and time for the product delivery, but if you think about long term benefit, efficiency and productivity. I would suggest its a productive investment. You can simplify the future delivery pipeline as well as you can reduce manual interference by automate the process.

En nuestras organizaciones la Automatización forma parte de nuestra filosofía empresarial ya que más allá de que dispongamos de recurso tecnológico, recurso humano técnico y capacitado, también disponemos de herramientas propias creadas según nuestras necesidades y las de nuestros clientes para lograr así ser más competitivo en los giros de negocio que se relacionan. Además de alcanzar metas medibles, coherentes y consistentes, hemos logrado formar a profesionales integrales con actitudes y destrezas nuevas enfocada en la línea de Automatización. Cabe a?adir que para llegar a que los procesos se automaticen es necesario un análisis previo que tenga una planificación clara con equipos de trabajo capacitados.

3 Manage Energy

Time is finite, but energy fluctuates. Managing your energy levels is crucial for maintaining productivity throughout the day. Pay attention to when you're most alert and creative—this is your prime time for tackling complex coding problems or brainstorming new features. During lower energy periods, handle less demanding tasks like responding to emails or administrative work. Remember to take short breaks to recharge, and don't underestimate the power of a good night's sleep and regular exercise in boosting your overall energy and focus.

4 Learn Continuously

The tech industry evolves at breakneck speed, and as a software engineer turned entrepreneur, you must keep up with the latest trends and technologies. Dedicate time each week to learning new programming languages, frameworks, or business strategies. Online courses, webinars, and tech podcasts can be excellent resources for expanding your knowledge without taking too much time away from your business. Staying current not only enhances your skill set but also ensures that your business remains competitive and innovative.

El Aprendizaje continuo es una de las mejores prácticas para formarse y lograr ser un profesional integral. Si bien es cierto la tecnología es evolutiva y el ecosistema digital es tan cambiante que logra superar los tiempos de aprendizaje en ciertos casos; pero no por ese motivo podemos descartar la opción de seguir aprendiendo. Además de que en la actualidad disponemos de recursos informativos ágiles y con una accesibilidad más viable que hace algunos a?os.

5 Delegate Wisely

As your business grows, so does the workload. You'll reach a point where it's impossible to do everything yourself. Delegating tasks to others can be a game-changer. Hire skilled individuals who complement your expertise or outsource specific tasks to freelancers. Trusting others to handle parts of your business can be challenging, but it's essential for scaling up. Effective delegation not only frees up your time but also empowers your team, fostering a collaborative environment where your business can thrive.

Figure out your weaknesses and onboard trusted advisors who excel in these areas. Escalate early when you know you are overloaded so you can effectively manage the distribution of tasks. Don't try and do everything yourself, build a team around you.

Delegating wisely isn't just about offloading tasks—it's about empowering your team, optimizing productivity, and driving success. By assigning tasks to the right people, you ensure that each task is completed efficiently and effectively, this delegating provides team members with opportunities to develop new skills and gain valuable experience and allows you to focus on high-priority tasks and strategic decision-making. When team members are trusted with responsibilities, it boosts their confidence and job but it's always starts with clear communication, understanding team's strengths, and providing the necessary support and resources.

6 Reflect Regularly

Finally, take time to reflect on your progress and workflow. Reflection allows you to assess what's working well and what needs improvement. Set aside time weekly or monthly to review completed projects, client feedback, and financial performance. Use this insight to adjust your strategies and processes accordingly. Continuous reflection ensures that you learn from your experiences and make informed decisions that propel your business forward.

Things to keep in mind: 1. If you aren't making as much as your salary, don't quit. 2. Is this sustainable? Do you see yourself doing this for the next five years? 3. If you quit your job, you will have eight hours daily to work on this project instead of four. But those hours may not be as productive as you expect.

One key lesson I've learned is the impact of regular exercise. Heading to the gym or outdoor running not only makes me feel good but also significantly boosts my productivity and energy levels for the rest of the day. Mornings, after a good workout, are my prime time for focusing.

One thing that worked for me is working on your product first thing when you start the day rather than after wrapping up your day job. Instead of relying on nights and weekends, try to spend 1-2 hrs early in the morning on a regular basis. The rationale is that when you wake up, you are most energetic than at any part of the day plus you have a fresh mind. That’s never the case after you have finished your day job. While weekends will only help you in burn out.
