Effective Time Management – Block Similar Activities Together

December 12, 2008 by Anne Bachrach Leave a Comment

Here’s a thought on doing similar activities together.  Let’s say you have a mailer that you do or would like to do, but you don’t want to send it out to 1,000 people all at one time because you can’t adequately follow-up with that many people all at once. You can complete the task and create the 1,000 mailers all at the same time and put future dates on them so they can be mailed when you have them scheduled to be mailed.  If you mail invoices on a regular basis, you can do them in advance if they are the same.  You can print envelopes and get them ready all in advance for months at a time.  I like to plan ahead and I think this is being efficient with my time.  You could easily send out your assistant to buy different kinds of cards for you to use throughout the year for birthdays and special occasions.  This person could also address the cards so you wouldn’t have to do this part of the process.  This person then gives you the cards when they are to be mailed for you to sign and for them to stamp. 

 

Think about your business and what you can do ahead of schedule and all at the same time.  What things do you do or can you do that could easily be replicated and do it all together in advance?  Could you or your assistant do thank you letters in advance for something?  Do you have mailers you could do all at the same time, just change the date?  Do you have periodic correspondence that goes out to clients that you could do all at one time, maybe with minor modifications?  You may be surprised at home many things could be easily replicated and done in advance.  This is another way of being effective and efficient.

Testimonials

I’ve sometimes thought of myself as not coachable – fits & starts on progress – but when I looked at where I’ve come, I can tell it works. This year, I’ve experienced over 50% growth – and with that growth came some confidence… confidence to finally go after what I know I should have done – we’ve added a flat-fee-only option to our offerings, and that’s ALL I’ll be targeting for 2014 and beyond. With that under our belts, I can foresee another 50% growth year for each of the next 2 years!

Mind over matter, right? Sometimes, that’s easier said than done. When we’re faced with a laundry list of to-dos and with not enough time in the day, it can be easier to distract ourselves and push things off to the next day. And when more items get added to our list, it becomes overwhelming, and we continue to procrastinate even more. A vicious cycle, but one that can be overcome. That’s the good news!
