Welcome to Part Two of our Guide to Managing Time (managing a 60-hour workweek) mini-series! Be sure to read Part One, Creating a consistent schedule.

– Prevent exhaustion by getting help. Working 50+ hours is tough for anyone to handle, no matter how energetic you are or how much you love your work. That’s why it’s important to know when it’s time to share some of the work with others. If you try to do absolutely everything by yourself, you’ll get stressed, exhausted and overwhelmed very quickly.

– Delegate.If you work with other people in your business, ask them if they can take on some of the tasks. You can also brainstorm with them for fresh new ideas if you feel like your business is hitting a slump. For those in a management position, remember that you hired other people so that you wouldn’t have to do everything yourself. Let go of the need to control and delegate!

– Build a team. If you’re a one-man business, considering building a team so that you won’t have to do absolutely everything by yourself. Gather other like-minded people together who have a genuine interest in your work. Asking for help or advice from friends or family is also a great way to get input from the outside (and it’s free of charge ;)).

– Find a temporary replacement. There come points in our lives when we realize that we simply can’t do everything that we want to. This is when you need to learn to say “No,” and to recommend someone else for the task. If you’re in a volunteer position, ask if someone else can take over for a few weeks while you sort out things in other areas of your life. If you find that you can’t keep up with blogging, ask a friend to write a guest post for you! It’s okay to put one area of your life on hold while you focus on other tasks. Just remember to keep the big picture in perspective – and that means not neglecting any areas of your life.

Working with others is a great way to relieve stress, build camaraderie and make extra time for you. Being a team player pays off!
