Quick Ways to Save You Time At Work

Ways to Save You Time

Do you want to save time in your daily activities? Small business owners are always looking for ways to make their life easier and less stressful. This post will help you do just that. We will be sharing our quick and easy ways to save you time at work. They are so easy that you may think, “why didn’t I think of that?”. Come along and get more time back in your day.

11 Quick Unique Ways to Save You Time

These tips are quick and simple but are sometimes overlooked in a small business’ workday.

  1. Procedures: Create a checklist of all the steps that are needed to complete a project.

  2. Locations: Save the maps as favorites on your smartphone.

  3. Emails: If there is an email you keep writing over and over, make a copy of the text and save it in a word document or as a template in your email management software.

  4. Websites often visited: Create favorites on your computer under a separate tab called Website visited often.

  5. Social media: Sharing your content often, download an app from your social media site on your browser.  This step will place a button on the top bar, and you can click on it, and it will pop up so you can share what you want on your social media page. HootSuite also offers this.

  6. Taking notes:  Use checkboxes with tasks and create a to-do list of jobs on the right side of your notes.

  7. Contact files: Have a sheet for your client contact information stored with your client paperwork online or printed.

  8. Browser: In Google, if you are logged into your Google account, your bookmarks are saved and can be downloaded on the other computer for easy access, and you don’t have to recreate it.

  9. Need information on a specific topic: Create a Google alert for that topic name and email to you when there is a new topic.

  10. Sharing Documents: Use a cloud share service.  There are free services from Google drive and One Drive.

  11. Scheduling: Setup a way to send appointments to others quickly.

Above all else, schedule your Friday afternoon as a block of time to work on modifying these systems to make them more efficient and save you time at work during the week. Commit to you and your business to be better than yesterday.

Be flexible in your small business.  You may not know where your business will go. ~ Sabrina Quairoli

    I have to say, that suggestion to save maps as favorites is genius – I never thought of doing that!

    For #6, I take handwritten notes when speaking with clients, and put a * beside any action items. After the call, I enter those items in my electronic to do list. Rather than type out a lot of details, I put “see phone notes from (date)”
