ORGANIZE YOUR WORKSPACE & FILES

Use cloud storage or other electronic filing systems to reduce paper usage when applicable. I use Dropbox and OneDrive.

A physical filing system should be color-coded and categorized in one of these formats:

  • Alphabetical

  • Numeric

  • Alphanumeric

You should have a designated business drawer or filing cabinet to keep all of your physical files organized.

ESTABLISH BUSINESS HOURS

Establish business hours to inform your clients and your team of your availability. This will also help keep yourself on task because designated business hours allow you to schedule your day and accomplish daily business goals.

SELECT AN INTEGRATED BUSINESS MANAGEMENT SOLUTION

Select an integrated business management solution or customer relationship manager (CRM) tool such as Dubsado, to manage clients, contracts, emails, invoices, and other business processes.

Integrated systems save you time from accessing multiple systems and tools to operate your business.

CREATE DAILY TO-DO LISTS

Create daily to-do lists to track tasks and record daily accomplishments. Use a calendar, Google Docs, or an app such as Slack, Trello, or other tools to set and create to-do lists or ticklers for yourself, your clients, and your team.

PLAN, CREATE, & SCHEDULE SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS & EMAIL CAMPAIGNS

To ensure you’re regularly engaging with your social media audience, you should create, plan, and schedule your social media posts and email campaigns. Social media posts and email campaigns increase traffic to your website, improve brand awareness, and generate sales.
