123. The Power in Valuing Your Time
Hey, this is Anne with your Coaching on the Go.
How do you treat your time?
How do you use time?
Today’s coaching is about trading valuable time for some of the tasks that aren’t worth your time.
It is a mind shift you get to do.
It took me a while to do this.
My coach asked me what things I do every day that aren’t worth my time, like cleaning the house or doing laundry.
I thought, “What?”
“I don’t have to pay someone to do that?”
“I’m saving that money”.
But actually, if you understand the value of your creative time and what you do, then you get to start thinking about the ways you use time.
What things could someone else do, that you could pay them for.
You would have more time for what you do best, what you’re gifted at.
I know for some of you, this will mess with your mind.
I am still cleaning my own house because I don’t know how I would have someone come in to clean.
But I am starting to hire people to do things and not do them along with them, to save some money.
The little bit of money that I’m saving by engaging in the project.
Is not valuable compared to content creation time or coaching time.
Your money assignment is to think about the things you do yourself that you could leverage somebody else to do.
I hired a VA, a virtual assistant when my coaches told me I get to start paying somebody to do some of the things that would take me an inordinate amount of time to do.
I can learn some of the systems, I’m certainly smart enough and you are too, but what’s the cost in wasted time if you paid somebody to do what they do best versus you trying to fix it yourself?
Instead of having people clean your business, you are doing it yourself.
You’re saving money, but when you factor in the time spent, you are working at a discount.
There is somebody in the world who would find what you are interested in paying a great contribution, then you can free up the time you would be using for that task you are not gifted at, and instead, use your time wisely, whether you are working at your giftedness, creating with it or you’re paying someone to do something that gives you more free time.
Challenge yourself.
Audit your time.
Start looking at ways you can leverage somebody else’s giftedness.
I have a friend who does a lot of handiwork.
I do a lot of remodeling myself.
Over the years I’ve found it to be satisfying, but now I’m getting to the point that for the time it takes me to remodel, I’m now better off hiring someone to do that painting or insulating.
Today’s audit is to look into your daily activities.
What is your time worth doing what you are gifted at?
What is the value of that time?
Where are you trading away valuable time, daytime hours, to do something you could bless somebody else by paying to do?
Okay.
