Poor work processes can have a bad effect on efficiency, productivity and profits. As a business owner, you have a daily, overflowing arrival of information from e-mails to an ever-building pile of paperwork. Can organization aid your business? According to a National Association of Professional Organizers survey, over 28% of workers feel organization of their work space could save up to an hour a day.
The biggest time saver can be taking control of your email. Don’t fall into the trap of reading emails and thinking I’ll respond later. Later never arrives and soon your inbox is full of important and unimportant mail. Scott Allen, Co-Author of “The Virtual Handshake” recommends “Most people configure their email reader to interrupt them every time an email comes in. This means you are interrupted throughout the day. Instead, we suggest keep your email reader closed most of the day. Only check email once a day.”
