"Time is the scarcest resource, and unless it is managed nothing else can be managed."
/Inc Magazine posed the following questions to small business entrepreneurs: "So if we are working more hours than ever before, why then do most business owners feel like they don't have enough time to grow their business? That seems counterintuitive. You aren't short on time....you are short on attention. Sitting at your desk all day, doesn't create value for your company if you are focusing your attention on the wrong tasks."
Too many art gallery owners don't value their time highly enough and spend too much of it on tasks that should be automated, like making price lists, or copying/pasting jpgs and work labels, or searching through notes to find the collectors for a certain piece or artist. Likewise, artists lose creative time crafting pdfs of available works for their dealers or collectors, or figuring out where works are, or calculating how many sales they had last year.
Michael Mankins writes in the Harvard Business Review: "Our research indicates that the average company loses more than 20% of its productive capacity — more than a day each week — to what we call “organizational drag,” the structures and processes that consume valuable time and prevent people from getting things done."
