Building a Strong, Healthy, Remote Business

More and more businesses are making the switch to running remotely, either partially or completely, or considering keeping remote business structures in place after being forced to innovate. For some, this can be an exciting prospect, while others may find it stressful to make this kind of adjustment. Working remotely can save many companies money on a variety of costs.

If It Isn't Scheduled in Time, It Isn't Happening

Never-ending To Do List

Too often, I think, we approach quite a lot of what we have to do with the thought “I’ll fit that in somewhere.”

How often does that really work? More often than not, I assert, it doesn’t work at all!

We don’t get things done, and then we wonder why?

Everything we have to do takes time to be done.

Vacations are a Must: Proven Reasons Why You Need Time Off

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

We know getting away from the daily grind makes us feel good, but is it just the temporary exhale we crave, or do we actually need breaks in our routine to be truly better at what we do?

Productivity Tip - Build a Favorite Items List

Shop Smart

Build a favorite items list at your online office supply site, and use it.

Most of us are creatures of habit. We always buy the same things.

The same paper, the same pens, the same ink, the same toner, the same calendars, the same cards.

You get the point.

To Shred or Not to Shred?

Dear Andrew,

I love your ideas!
Should basic personal info like addresses be shredded or can things like addressed envelopes and magazines be recycled? It would help if I didn’t have to tear addresses off for shredding as some folks tell me I should.
Thanks for all your free support.
Juliet N.

Dear Juliet,
Thank you for your email and I’m glad you’re enjoying the resources!

I always shred offers for credit cards or other correspondence with account numbers on it.

Don't Set Alerts for Everything

It is useful to set some form of alert/alarm for parts of your day.

Personally, I set alerts for scheduled appointments and phone calls, to ensure that I am not late or forgetting them. OK, sometimes I also have to set an alarm to remind myself to eat. But I am not setting an alert for every task I have set for my day.

Have you ever had an alarm go off and hit the snooze? Or had a computer alert pop up only to snooze/dismiss it – and promptly forget about what it was there for?

Managing Interruptions - Phone and Email

By default, we are getting interrupted at least once every 6-8 minutes all day long.

And, it takes 10-15 minutes to bring your focus back to what you were doing when you were interrupted.

That math just doesn’t work. Think about it.

You will be interrupted, and you will most likely keep getting interrupted before you can get back to what you were doing (if you even remember what it was).

Do you really need to see that pop-up every time you get an incoming email? Do you really need to hear that beep every time something lands in your inbox?

Focus on What You Do Brilliantly

Know Your Wheelhouse

Imagine this: Your computer hard drive crashes. You hadn’t done a backup recently. Everything you need is on that computer. What do you do?

Do you spend days researching how to recover lost data (days when you are not doing your own job)?

Then, do you attempt to recover your lost data on your own (potentially making it truly unrecoverable)?

Or, do you call the computer repair guy and let him/her handle it quickly and thoroughly?

Unless your business and expertise is computer repair you have NO business trying to do this yourself.
