Top 4 Productivity Tips that Work 100% of the Time
Is your dream biz turning into your worst nightmare?
If you're feeling overwhelmed these days with your never-ending list of To-Dos. . .I feel you. In fact, I can still remember the days when I tried to carry EVERYTHING on my back.
And I'm not even kidding!
I was handling admin work, bookkeeping, client communication, marketing, inquiries, you name it. I guess you could say that I was too busy wearing too many hats (someone please hand me an award for Superwoman of the Year, lol).
And the thing is, at that time I really thought I was giving my best. That is until I realized that. . .I wasn't.
You probably know how that ended for me, right?
I was trying to "handle" everything, but things were just falling through the cracks. I was missing the mark with my clients, and I just felt super drained. And my task list? It just got bigger and bigger! *oof!*
So of course I had no other choice but to come to terms with the reality that I wasn't able to do it all on my own. Now I'll have to be honest; admitting that to myself was a hard pill to swallow, being the independent person I am. But I'm so glad I did!
Ever since then, things have turned around for me. The change didn't happen instantly, but it did take place. Little by little. Now I'm enjoying more freedom than before, all the while feeling more accomplished + confident at the end of each week.
Wonder how I did it? Check out some of my favorite productivity tips! :)
4 Things You Can Do to Be More Productive
1. Outsource your tasks
A lot of entrepreneurs don't outsource, simply because they feel it would be cost-effective to do everything themselves. Why spend on something you can do yourself, right? Wrong! Just think of all the $$$ you're losing simply because you no longer have the time to take on new clients!
When you delegate your tasks to someone who knows their stuff instead of handling everything yourself, you don't just save time, but you also get to grow your business better. Why? Because now you get to have the time to market your services and just focus on your zone of genius.

2. Use templates
If there's one thing that I'm sure you'll agree with, it's that when it comes to business, CONSISTENCY is the name of the game. Using a template is one of the best ways for you to stay consistent with your clients while providing faster responses, thus saving you lots of time in the process. Whether it's for your email responses, your proposals, your welcome packets, or your reports, there's always a template that you can use, so make sure you use them for your biz!
3. Automate your processes
Instead of you trying to work for your business, make your business work for you! Automating your business processes will not only help keep things simpler and easier to handle, but it will also help you lower the chances of things falling through with your clients.
Trust me on this: Whatever you're doing manually now, there's a 70% chance that there's a tool out there made just for it. And if you asked me what tool is keeping me super productive, it's Dubsado for me! What I really love about Dubsado is that it has loads of functionalities rolled into one, which means I won't have to keep switching between tools just to keep things organized. It has honestly saved me from so much headache!
4. Streamline your workflows
Of all the tips, this one is my favorite. It took me quite a while to realize just how much time I was actually wasting by not streamlining my workflows. And that was actually the culprit why I was feeling so drained almost all of the time. Burned-out. Demotivated. Exhausted. Stressed beyond belief. You name it. So streamlining my workflows has been a real lifesaver for me.
Sure, doing that can take quite some time and would require a little effort on your part. But believe me, all that effort is going to pay off a million times over once you start saving hours each week on unnecessary tasks!
So before you give up all hope for your biz, take the time to think about what you can do right now to improve your existing workflows. Maybe you just need to do some tweaking for your business to start scaling. And if you need help in that area, hop on a call with me!
