For many, figuring out how to organize your small business activities can be overwhelming. Papers pile up, sticky notes multiply, vendors or clients need immediate attention, and emails compound flooding your inbox faster than you can sort through them. If you are like most of us, we focus on ONE thing before attacking the next item on our list (you have created checklist, right).
This is part 2 of getting your small business organized. Check out part 1 to learn about setting goals.
2. Organize Business Projects
Create a List
Create a basic list and remember to keep it simple and add as needed. Start with your top 3 projects you want to accomplish. We are looking for a list to help you succeed and not to overwhelm you, less is more. 😁
Check back later as I am still trying to figure out how to add templates for you to use. My goal as you can tell it’s not on my top 3, otherwise I wouldn’t have to tell you to check back later.
Prioritize as Needed
Be flexible with your projects timeline. It’s okay to reprioritize. Keep the most important projects current and upfront. By keeping them upfront, you maintain them current and focused on the task that matter most right now.
Create Checkpoints
Having a road map without checkpoints can get you lost on he road. Same with your business. Checkpoints help you monitor if you are still on the right track and align you back to getting to your end goal. From a short term goal (less than one year) to long term goals (longer than a year) always have a roadmap. Not it down and visualize how you want to arrive at the end of the day.
