Way back in 2015 when Olive started Primary School and I suddenly had 6 hours a day to work on and in my small business *insert lol here*! 7 years later and I still feel like there are NEVER enough hours in the day to do all the things I want to get done! Being organised and saving time can look like lots of different things but here are 5 resources I use to keep me on track.
6 Ways to Get Organised And Save Time:
- List, Lists, Lists: I literally love lists and notebooks, lists inside a notebook are my absolute favourite! Lists are very important by creating lists you are able to focus on what really matters. Make daily, weekly, and monthly to-do lists of important tasks, this then helps you to organise, prioritise and reward yourself. Review your daily priorities at the beginning of each day.
- Scheduling: Whether you are scheduling meetings, social media updates, or diarising working time and networking whatever it is scheduling helps to;
Frees up time 
Frees up headspace 
Keeps your content consistent Work smarter, not harder -
Reduce Clutter: Clear your workspace – tidy space = tidy mind! Keep only the most critical items or information you need daily on the top of your desk, and clear away cups and rubbish at the end of each day. Work on keeping your office as much a paperless space, store resource materials you rarely use, and throw out duplicate information, keep “things” to a minimum.
- Outsourcing: Virtual Assistants (VA’s) can provide you with a plethora of tasks that they can take off your hands from answering your business phone to organising and replying to your emails, creating social media posts, and even website development. The list is endless freeing you to do more of what you love.
- Automation: There are so many repetitive tasks within our business that we can automate, taking out the human interaction which leads to saving time, and money which improves productivity and increases workflow. Here are a few things you can easily automate in your small business every day;
Social media Email marketing Scheduling meetings Managing invoices Customer feedback
- Download An App: There is pretty much an app for everything these days that can help you stay on track right from your smartphone and if you can find one that does multiple jobs then YAY! Time management apps allow you to set reminders and schedule and automate meetings and appointments. Apps usually sync up with your computer and store everything online so you can access it from wherever you are. I have been using CatchApp.
