2. Entrepreneurs are very busy
individuals. Fortunately, there are
things that entrepreneurs can do
to improve their performance.
Here are a few productivity hacks
to help keep you and your
business on track.
3. Decide your own work schedule.
Every individual has a time of day when they are
most productive. If you're more productive in the
early morning hours, then that's when your
workday should start. Individuals who are better at
working during the evening should have a
workday that consists of working during the
evening.
It's crucial to work a schedule that includes your
peak performance hours. It's also essential to
safeguard that time so you can run their business.
4. Try to review emails when you don't have
deadlines to meet or clients to serve. Consider
dealing with email when you are taking a break
from work to get coffee or prior to a meeting.
This will allow the interaction to help you plan
other things that you need to take care of
without disrupting your workflow and the
schedule you've set.
Reduce distractions.
To help reduce distractions that come from email,
phone calls, and social media notifications. By
turning off your cell phone, you can decide when
it's best to connect with other individuals.
5. Prioritize tasks.
Take care of the most pressing issues first. Tasks
that are a challenge are best tackled first when
your energy is highest.
Determine what tasks you absolutely must
complete and which you would be better
served by delegating to others.
Apply the Pareto Principle which states that
80% of your results stem from 20% of your
actions. Figure out which 20% of actions
create 80% of your revenue and put your
primary focus on them.
6. Have a comfortable office.
Creating a comfortable work environment is
essential because the workplace helps maintain
energy and focus.
Stay organized. A cluttered office can cause you to
lose momentum because you're spend time looking
for unorganized paperwork.
If your work requires sitting for long
periods, consider investing in ergonomic
chairs.
