Tidy Your Physical Space
Simple, but effective! Creating physical organization in your physical office space is proven to have an immediately flow-on effect on your own productivity and business. The saying “tidy space, tidy mind” isn’t without truth here!
Ensure your space is tidy, organized, clean and provides you with a sense of accomplishment and inspiration.
Go Digital
In this day and age, digital paths are popular because they work! Don’t clutter your space with stacks and stacks of paper and boxes of files. There are digital options available for near every aspect of your small business such as:
- Clouds to keep documents in one place
- Customer service chatbots to streamline customer queries
- Accounting services that don’t require you to travel to a physical office
- Scanning applications to turn physical copies into digital copies
Create A “Catch” Space
A catch space is designed to be the first point of contact where all incoming items land to then be addressed or delegated.
Physically, this can be a small file organizer in a prominent place such as your desktop. Virtually, this is likely your email inbox (reduce any subscriptions to random unimportant newsletters to keep this space streamlined).
A catch space helps you to prioritize work and ensure it ends up in the right hands.
Delegation
As a small business owner, it can often feel like you do everything. Often time you do when you just start a business so you need to be smart about what you are capable of.
If some work is beyond you or not an efficient use of your time, look at where you can pass this work off. Do you need another worker? An assistant? Or perhaps you can look into some digital options to will fulfil your needs and reduce your workload so you can focus on the important stuff!
