I’m a gadget girl. I’ll admit it. I still haven’t conquered my shiny object syndrome.
But sometimes, cool new gadgets are a distraction more than a helping hand. And sometimes, conventional tools used in creative ways can get you to brilliant solutions.
When it comes to systems for instance, my mission is to help my clients to get over the chaos, create clarity, and make impact. Because of this, I like to stick to three go-to tools.
So you’ve hired your new assistant and assigned her first few tasks. She’s completed them, and when you review them, you can’t help but feel disappointed with how they turned out.
You wonder to yourself, “Did I say something that didn’t make sense or did she just not know how to do what I was asking?”
It could be that adequate information wasn’t provided or that she got confused during the process.
Instead of letting this happen over and over again or letting your assistant go and reverting back to doing everything yourself, experiment with these three effective strategies for working with your new team member.

Luckily there are tried and true tools that will help you follow through with your social media marketing plans without taking a huge chunk of time from your day.
Not all systems are equal.
Information, tasks, and distraction management are essential when you’re in the first stages of growing your business.
Pouring all your energy into finding clients and marketing your business to bring in money is very tempting, but here’s what it might cost you if you don’t tackle the essential systems.
When selecting items to work on, assess how urgent they are. If an item has an approaching deadline, make sure to start with that one. Also, take into account your energy levels. For example, if you are a morning person, work on your creative tasks during the first half of the day and leave more mechanical tasks for later on.
At the end of the week, do a quick weekly review and analyze what happened.
Don’t be too critical of yourself – your goal is to find a way to work faster, not to judge yourself …
