Have you been thinking about working with a time management coach?

Do you want some compelling reasons as to why you should work with a time management coach to help you better manage your time? 

Time management is always an important topic…and for good reason! 

We literally cannot escape time management in today’s world. 

We all use clocks, calendars, planners, and more to keep ourselves on track at work and home. 

If you want to make the most of your time, you need to learn how to manage it.

Above all, you need to learn how to manage it well. 

In this post, you’ll find a collection of seven smart reasons why you should work with a time management coach. 

You’ll find some thoughtful insight into why time management coaching might be something you’ll want to look into on your entrepreneurial journey. 

They help keep you accountable. 

Accountability is absolutely crucial when it comes to time management. 

Do you consistently arrive late to appointments and miss deadlines?

Do you easily lose track of time and have been doing so for a long time?

If so, something may be amiss.

You may be unconsciously blind to your actions and the negative consequences that follow. 

When you work with a time management coach, you have real-time honest conversations about how you managed your time over the past few weeks.

Your coach can help keep you accountable to both your time management goals and actions. 

What’s more, sometimes simply knowing someone is on your side encouraging you to make better choices is a boon in and of itself.

You want to make time management a priority because you know someone is spending their time and energy with you to help you succeed. 

They help you grow as a person over time.

One of the great things about working with a time management coach long-term is that they can help you navigate different situations and scenarios throughout the year. 

Time management isn’t about simply living in the moment. It’s also managing how you relate and react to time over the course of several days, weeks, and months. 

Working with a coach for a lengthy period of time allows you to experience all the different cycles of your professional and personal life.

It can be helpful to have someone coach you through all of life’s experiences. Just imagine having someone by your side as you go through work projects and personal celebrations.

Don’t forget, you’ll be managing your schedule for the rest of your life. Having someone coach you through the ups and downs of at least one calendar cycle can be an extremely valuable learning experience. 

They offer a non-judgmental environment. 

Asking friends and family for advice can be a double-edged sword.

Sometimes guidance can be spot on and other times it can be lacking. And sometimes we can’t hear what others are saying because our existing relationships muddy the water. 

That’s why working with someone who has no prior relationship with you can be helpful. Your coach is there to help you succeed, and they can do so from a neutral position.

They can help you see where you need to change, grow, and adapt through the lens of time management, all in a non-judgmental environment. 

What’s more, when you work with a time management coach, you gain access to all their years of experience, knowledge, and wisdom.

It’s like tapping into an amazing source of information that is both ready and willing to serve you in your highest good. 

They can see things you can’t see. 

How many times have you tried to unpack your busy work schedule only to end up being frustrated or confused?

When you work with a time management coach, they can point out things you can’t see in your schedule. 

For starters, coaches can help you cut through the noise and help you see what you’ve been avoiding.

They can point out where you’re falling short and where you’re not being honest with yourself.

A coach can also help you identify where you are overextending yourself or not taking proper care of yourself within your schedule. 

They can see gaping holes in your schedule and pockets of time that you haven’t yet considered.

They can show you new ways of approaching old problems. Or come up with simple solutions to some seemingly difficult issues. 

It can be quite helpful having someone take a look at your current situation through a different lens.

A coach brings their own unique experience, perspective, skills, and learning to the table. They can provide a wealth of ideas and learnings from their own life experience. 

They can provide you with a variety of time management skills and solutions. 

A time management coach can introduce you to a variety of time management skills and solutions. 

Yes, you may have heard of some time management skills before, but you may not have heard the whole story.

You don’t know what you don’t know. So you might as well help yourself by availing yourself of the knowledge to help you become a better manager of your time.

You may not be aware of or have considered modifications of techniques or approaches to a skill. 

What’s more, a time management coach can recommend specific techniques to you that are more in tune with your own unique situation.

They can recommend techniques that are a good fit for your personality, natural preferences, tendencies, and habits. Or they may recommend techniques and skills that encourage you to think about time in a new way.

They can help you better manage time in all aspects of your life. 

Another great thing about working with a time management coach is that they can not only help you better manage time in your work life, but in other areas of your life as well.  

Sure, they can help you manage project deadlines, run efficient meetings, and delegate tasks to others.

But they can also help you streamline all the different deadlines, meetings, and tasks you deal with in your personal life. That includes items related to your relationships, health, errands, and personal care.  

A time management coach can help you spot unconscious patterns, habits, and tendencies you may be following.

These items can also show up in different areas of your life without you even realizing it!

Lateness, procrastination, always saying “yes,” and lack of delegation can come front and center to your awareness when you work with a coach.

They can help you with your time management mindset. 

Lastly, working with a time management coach can help you improve your time management mindset.

I always remind my clients that time is a social construct. If we want to manage our time well, we must appropriately learn the rules of the game in order to effectively “play” with time. 

Here’s a brief example. When you think about time management, do you think of time as being abundant to you? As in, you have more than enough time for yourself and your loved ones?

Or perhaps you view time through a lens of lack? As in not having enough time, being rushed, or having to do things in a way that is not in sync with your schedule?  

When you work with a time management coach who is dedicated to help and guide you through your time management mindset upgrade, you’ll start to view things in a new light.

And that’s what’s especially needed if you want to become a better manage your time both today and everyday.
