Productivity tips for entrepreneurs
Share and Enjoy
Here are a few tips from our CEO Jane:
1) Identify your next big goal.
Its may be amount of users, or value, or fundraising. Doesn’t matter. Check your goals against the S.M.A.R.T. criteria.
2) You should start a day with answer:
What can I do today to reach my goal?
Don’t forget this rule:
Use this matrix to make a decision about task for today:
3) Think on paper
Your brain tricking you when you think: “Don’t write it down. I’ll remember.” If you plan a feature list - write it down. If you come up a new feature - write it down. If you find a bug - write it down! Anywhere: in task-tracker, notepad, Evernote, napkin or flyer.
4) Your inbox should be empty when you finish a workday
Answer it, if it’s a question. Put it on the list if it’s a task. Delete it if it’s not important.
5) Avoid distractions
Start the “free of distractions” days: no meetings, skype or social media. Use headphones when you need focus (everytime).
6) Start a day with the hardest task
Prioritize tasks according to their impact:
- A – I won’t reach my goal without this
- B – Someone will be unhappy
- C – I can decide not to do this
- D – I can ask somebody else to do this
- E – I won’t do this
