Time management is perhaps one of the most difficult aspects of entrepreneurship.
I'm 55, and I've worked in Fortune 500 companies, owned my own businesses, and attended time management workshops, webinars, and seminars. The number one tip that has stayed with me this entire time is to make sure that you're blocking time on a calendar for the things that you feel are a priority and important in your life.
Important things that you need to block out time for can include lunch, taking breaks, breaks with family, answering emails, making phone calls, etc.
Unfortunately, if you don't block out those times, these things have a tendency to fall to the wayside and never get done.
If you find it to be something important, mark that time off and stick to it. Otherwise, you won't do it.

In this video, I'm going to talk about divorce in Florida and bankruptcy. Hi, everybody. I'm A.J. Grossman, divorce lawyer, and owner of Leap Frog Divorce.
So some of my clients have come to me seeking a divorce and almost simultaneously either going through bankruptcy, or they're thinking about bankruptcy. And they really want to know how a bankruptcy will impact their divorce or how a divorce will impact their bankruptcy.
So, for the last decade, actually longer than a decade, I have focused my practice solely on family law, divorces and paternity. I don't do immigration. I don't do criminal law. I don't do personal injury, and I don't do bankruptcy. So when I get a client who is either thinking about bankruptcy or is going through a bankruptcy, I either find out who their bankruptcy attorney is, or I connect them with a bankruptcy attorney because there are some very important considerations between a divorce and bankruptcy.
And the number one question I get from my clients is if I get a settlement agreement in my divorce, does that makes my spouse responsible for certain credit card debt? If they don't pay, will the credit card company go after them and leave me out of it? Am I off the hook if my divorce settlement agreement makes them responsible for those credit card debts? The long answer is no. And the short answer is no. You will not be off the hook.
And why is that? Because a divorce settlement agreement is not binding on a third party like a creditor, like the credit card company that issued you the credit card. So if during your marriage that you guys put debt on that credit card, technically you're jointly responsible and what we call severally responsible for that debt. So what that means is that credit card companies can come after both of you or either one of you individually, and they're not going to care what your divorce settlement says. So if you have those concerns, you might consider meeting with a bankruptcy attorney.
Of course, if you are in a position where you're thinking about bankruptcy anyway, and you don't have a bankruptcy attorney, I can refer you to some wonderful bankruptcy attorneys I know. And we will work together, me as your divorce lawyer and that other attorney as your bankruptcy attorney will coordinate and work together to create the best strategy for your divorce involving both a divorce and bankruptcy.
