How can you do everything with your computer contract job schedule?  You need time to devote to finding long-term computer consulting clients, but you will be already working 60, 70 or 80 hours a week.  

A Time Study

With a computer contract job, you need to look at where you spend most of your time and determine if there are some things you are doing that you could delegate, automate or even eliminate altogether.

As an example, maybe you are sitting around building PCs and putting in motherboards and power supplies 10 hours per week, which is something you could delegate.  If you are minding retail traffic in a retail computer store and you have someone else that can do that for a day per week, this is another good way to manage time.  

Delegation is Key

You need to consider which computer contract job tasks you can delegate based on your staff.  Then you can give yourself a free day to a day-and-a-half per week to work on cultivating business-to-business clients.  

What Should You Do with Extra Time?

With free time earned through delegation of computer contract job duties, you can go to networking events, plan marketing strategies, go out on sales calls and make follow-up calls.  

The Main Idea

If you are already working way too many hours, even with some computer contract job delegation and time management, you just need to find the time to get everything done.  Look out for where you spend computer contract job time and see if you can delegate a few things to free up some time for important marketing and networking tasks.
