Being a small business owner, being productive is key to success. Productivity is essential to growth and efficiency in your business. Below are my best tips for being productive in your small business.
1. Spending time on the right things, and not just busy work.
Write down all the tasks in your business by category. Is there anything that can be taken off the list, either cut because of unimportance, or delegated to another employee or service for hire? You do not have to do it all for your business, it's impossible! Exploring areas in your business that can be streamlined is key to growth.
2. Batching (and Prioritizing) Tasks
The word used for lumping together similar tasks and completing them all together is called batching. Looking at your task list and calendar to decide what tasks use the same tools, same system, or are same type of work, and place those tasks on the same days. This is fully dependent on your business category and needs. Think of it as creating "theme days" for your business.
3. Setting up Healthy Boundaries
Setting healthy boundaries for yourself and your time is important to avoiding burn out. It is up to you to decide what your energy and time goes into. You want your business to be sustainable and consistent to your clients, but you cannot be productive if you are burnt out.
4. Creating Monthly Goals
Evaluating your business monthly and setting goals will keep your business on track, as well as encourage growth. Setting goals also helps your employees see the vision you have for your business.
