Routines

Wow! It is September and everyone is getting back into school routines, fitness routines, but have they also figured out their business routines.

Little things that can make a big difference in a business success can easily slip through the cracks whether life is just busy or whether things like summers and vacations get in the way.

This blog has not received any attention from me since the start of the summer. It is part of my marketing and communication plan so in addition to consulting my clients on routines sometimes I have to consult myself.

To get your business in a routine -
1. Determine how each duty impacts the big goal.
2. Clarify how often this duty is necessary.
3. Who is doing each duty?
4. What is the most productive time to do the duty? Phone calls at lunchtime and dinnertime usually produce lower results. E-mail newsletters sent on Mondays get lost in the weekend in-box.
5. Schedule in the duties - be sure to set any electronic schedules to repeat. Write it down for this week and all the weeks until Christmas.
6. Set up a reminder system - do you send yourself an e-mail whose delivery is delayed until the correct time? Do you have it in your daily schedule that you review daily? Do you have a business buddy who will check on you?

Routines can increase the productivity of all apsects of your business - start today! Do not wait for tomorrow.
