Get Organized Today to Make Money Tomorrow
by Russ Dalbey
Some people are their own worst enemy when it comes to being successful.
It’s not that they’re lazy, or doubt their ability to get things done. The
problem is they have so many great ideas and want to do everything at once. As a
result, very little actually gets done. This slows them down in accomplishing
simple tasks – their minds are constantly distracted, and they end up frazzled
and frustrated at the end of the day!
Even if this doesn’t sound like you, remember: organization and daily planning
is key to getting the most out of your home-based business. Decide what’s on
your plate for the day and keep everything in order. It will really pay off in
your long-term profitability.
Every business needs to guard against inefficiencies, because they cost money.
But avoiding waste is even more important for entrepreneurs than big companies,
because the cost of the inefficiencies is coming directly out of your pocket.
One of the biggest sources of inefficiency for an entrepreneur is lack of
organization. Being unorganized will definitely cost you time. And, as the old
saying goes, time is money!
Stay organized by making lists. Do this once a week – write down everything that
you’ve been thinking about doing. Written lists make it more likely that
everything will get done, because they clear your mind and allow you to focus.
Once you have your list, prioritize the tasks in order of importance and by
deadline. If you have some large projects to take on, create a separate list
with the steps required to achieve these major tasks.
After completing each item, you’ll get real satisfaction from being able to
cross off one of your “to-dos.” And you’ll know where you stand in what you need
to accomplish.
You might find that spending five minutes before each workday to create a daily
list of tasks will make you more efficient too. If you can, get whatever you’re
avoiding done first! Dreading a task all day will only serve to bring you down.
Just get it out of the way, and the rest of the day is cake.
Having lists and working through them methodically will also reduce your overall
stress level. Some people have trouble getting to sleep at night because of
thoughts they can’t “put to rest” – using daily lists can even help with that!
Most entrepreneurs are creative by nature and could stand to improve their
organizational skills. To be your best, step back, take a breath from your busy
routine, and get your ducks in a row. Don’t hijack your chances of success by
being disorganized and inefficient.
