At the IVAA Live Summit I spoke about organizing & prioritizing your work. One of the pieces of my presentation was about organizing tasks so that you get more done each day.<\/p>\n

When you are working as a support professional, it is easy to try to multitask and do many things at once, but there are all kinds of studies out there that show that multitasking is simply ineffective.<\/p>\n

It’s much more efficient to focus on one task at a time, and complete it, and then move on to the next thing.<\/p>\n

The way I handle multitasking in my daily routine is by batching my work – that is, collecting tasks that will done at one time and doing them at a specified time.<\/p>\n

There are two ways you can plan to batch your work.<\/p>\n

1. Do like tasks together.<\/b> So, if you are doing copywriting or follow up or newsletters, pull everything you need together and then do one at a time until they are all complete. Then move on to another set of tasks. Doing like things at the same time is productive because you can get into a groove with the parts of the task, and make quick work of everything.<\/p>\n

2. Do one client’s tasks together.<\/b> I often work this way – planning to do a number of the same client’s tasks during a specific time. So, maybe I start with their newsletter and then update some autoresponders and do follow up emails or whatever the case may be. By focusing your time and effort on the single client for a period of time, you can manage your billing for that client more easily because you have a block of time that is billable, as opposed to doing many smaller things during the course of a day.<\/p>\n

Either of these ways is more efficient than simply working from a task list and doing things one at a time.<\/p>\n

When you manage your work in a manner that will allow you to be more productive, you not only get more done each day – but you will make more money in your business as well.<\/p>\n

Get yourself organized and see for yourself!<\/p>\n

How do you keep yourself organized during the day? I’d love to hear about it – share your ideas on my Facebook page<\/a>,<\/p>\n
