19. Some tips to help you manage your time

So since last week, I’ve been on a bit of a tiki tour around the country.  I’ve visited Wanaka, Aoraki Mt Cook, Tekapo, Twizel, Hazelburn, Darfield, Christchurch, Te Aroha and Ruapehu and of course I’m now back here in Taupo!  It has been a pretty hectic week!   But one thing has really stood out this week, and that’s the passion and determination shown by our tourism industry colleagues!  Despite everything that’s been thrown at them this year, they are still looking forward at how they can develop their businesses, target new markets and create new experiences for their guests, and as a consultant, I am incredibly proud to be working with these people.

But one common theme has cropped up in nearly every consult or meeting I’ve had and that’s  “Michelle, how can I figure things out so I’m not so busy?”

When we break that down, it almost always come down to time management.  It’s fair to say that most of us are doing the work of multiple people right now – most businesses have scaled back their operations to be able to afford to keep going – and as a result the staff how are left are multi-tasking like never before.  They are cooking, cleaning, doing the accounts, managing the social media, welcoming guests, doing maintenance and so much more!  And it’s tiring!  I feel for you if you’re doing this – but I have a few tips which may help you to get through in this episode.
