may have subscribed to and it doesn't compel you to take immediate action, take
this immediate action: unsubscribe. You can always subscribe again. But
chances are you won't. Do this faithfully and you will find you spend a lot less
time juggling email.
Kenneth Vogt helps founders outpace the growth of their businesses at Vera Claritas. Mark W. Schaefer (Twitter: @markwschaefer) www.businessesgrow.com You need to focus only on the activities that are
critical and revenue-producing. For example, if you are having website tech
problems, don't spend time fixing it yourself, especially if you love to do that
sort of thing. Delegate as much of the administration as you can so you can focus
on developing the core business, acquiring customers and solving problems.
Mark Schaefer is a college educator, a keynote speaker and the author of five books including The Content Code. Kim WalshPhillips (Twitter: @KWalshPhillips) www.IOCreativeGroup.com I am constantly learning and evolving, but I am
most a product of David Allen's "Getting Things Done" and Dan Kennedy's
"Ruthless Management of Profits and People." I write everything down that I
have to do the minute I think of it on one large post-it note in my planner and
then I assign things to do each day to specific times of the day. Anything that
will take me more than 15 minutes is put in my official scheduling calendar and
blocked from other appointments my assistant makes. I also keep a list of tasks
that are non-energy tasks (like ordering flowers for a friend or emailing my
travel agent to book a flight) that I can do at night when my brain is spent. I
follow the Rockerfeller Habits model of quarterly rocks and have action items
each week to get those things done so I work on what's important, not just what
is urgent. And finally, I outsource anything I can using fantastic tools like
Amazon Prime for two-day shipping and Peapod for grocery delivery so I don't
have to go to the store, FancyHands.com to book appointments, look up vendors,
research products, etc., Thumbtack for finding any household task that can be
done, and ZocDoc for making doctor appointments. Being a mom of two little
ones and running a multi-office agency requires all of the help I can get!
