How to Flip your To-do list for greater productivity – Podcast 17
Most people think of their to do list as a long line of items they have to get done in a given day. It’s a common approach and not entirely ineffective. But Joe’s interested in taking the entire concept of the to do list to a whole new level so that you and your organization can be 10, 20, even 100 times more productive. How can you do that? By flipping your to do list. Simply put: Trying to figure out ways that you can get your typical to do list tasks off your plate entirely so you can do the things only you can do. Listen in to get all the details on how Joe puts this into practice in his life and with his team.
Time is your most valuable asset – and you’re squandering it on unimportant stuff.
At least that could be the case if you’re like the typical business owner or entrepreneur. You’ve got to learn a new way, a way that makes the most of your time, maximizing your particular contributions to your goals so that the outcomes are greater and more satisfying. You’ve got to begin working toward moving things OFF your to do list. That means assessing what you’re doing that you shouldn’t be doing, handing it off to others who could do it for a lower wage which enables you to engage in higher level, more productive activities. It’s a mindset shift that’s very hard to make, but once you are able to make it, you’re going to see your business soar.
Look toward the future as you plan your to do list each day.
What are the things that, if not done by you today, are going to hamper your business or keep you from reaching your success and financial goals. Those are the things that go on your to do list. But even more, you need to focus on putting systems and procedures in place that enable your team to do the things you typically do, so you can get busy creating even more processes that make everyone’s job faster, more effective, and more beneficial to the bottom dollar. Joe unpacks how he’s putting these concepts into practice on his own team and lets you listen in on this episode.
But I don’t have the money to outsource things!
It’s a stubborn reality that people who are working hard to build or establish their own business are doing a lot of things they really shouldn’t be doing. But it has to be that way at first because there’s simply nobody else to do them and they need to get done. But the time comes, much sooner than most entrepreneurs think, when you have to assess if outsourcing that task to someone would enable you to make 3 times as much as you pay them. For example, if you could pay someone $10 to complete a task, would that enable you to make $30? If so, it’s time to hire that person. You’ve got to leverage the time available to maximise your output. That’s how businesses grow and that’s how your business is going to produce the outcomes you’re looking for.
Can you imagine an employee assessment like this one?
Joe just sat down with his assistant and had the following conversation. “What are the things you’re doing that are producing the least amount of income for the company and are least fulfilling to you?” Once he got the answer, he worked with his assistant to get those off her plate so she could be engaging in more fulfilling, more fruitful work on behalf of the entire company. That’s how to do list flipping looks when it’s applied to an entire team, and it’s what Joe is suggesting you consider in order to ramp up your business. Listen to this episode of The Flip King to find out exactly what “to do list flipping” is and how it can help your business.
