"A Game"

Do this!
Answer this email!
Make these calls!
Clean house!
Be on time for lunch appointment!

These are the constant commands in our minds as we go through our days. We are trying to bring our “A” game to every situation so it is important to remind ourselves of all the things we are responsible for.

The issue is that when we only depend on our mind to remember, remind and execute a task it can become overwhelming. This leads to not completing task, late to appointments and potentially illness. As a business owner being in confusion is not acceptable.

At this point we must start to organize our strategy and minds. Technology is one of the quickest ways to unload all that we have on our plate to be better prepared.

For example
• Many online calendars now connect to our phones by sending text messages or syncing with them. This makes it easy to get reminders on the go.
• Set aside times in the day to check, answer and send emails so we are not spending hours trying to clear the account at one time.
• Schedule multiple appointments at one location so that we can cut down on being late. So potentially we would have 3 appointments at one location with two hour time between to cover overage.

These simple tricks can help us organize our days so that we can be on top of it all.
