Practical Nine-Step Guide to Max Productivity

Posted on Wednesday, August 04, 2004 @ 11:04 PM EDT

cfranz writes "Step 1: List all the business activities that you complete
(regularly or not). Examples: phone calls, meetings,
paperwork, projects, sales, follow-up procedures, writing,
learning/researching, web site design, delivering core
services (substitute name), etc. Yes, this might seem time
consuming. You will need to trust in this process and wait
for the benefits to appear.

You can create the list two ways: (1) focus and write all
in a list, or (2) track your activities, even the 5-minute
items, for a few days. Don’t need to add to the list what
already exists, thus, the time required to complete the list
will become less and less. Be specific clear and as brief
as possible (less than 5 words). Use separate sheet to
track activities.

Step 2: Place a star in front of three items that you are
brilliant at, that you can rate as having a #10 energy level
(1 little energy, 10 passion).

Step 3: List the three most important activities that
produce income for the business?

Step 4: Mark three activities from list (Step 1) that you
don’t like to do or are weak at completing?

Step 5: Review the list from step 4. Who would be good
candidates for complete the items you don’t like doing? Is
it a virtual assistance? Significant other? Assistant?

Step 6: What would be an ideal method for you that you
could work with the three people you want to allow other
people to handle for you?

Step 7: What one time-consuming activity will you delegate
right away?

Step 8: What first step can you take to start this process?

Step 9: What immediate benefit will you get from delegating
this out? How much time would it free up? What will you
replace that time with?
