Tech Tips for Entrepreneurs: How to Stay Productive and Let Technology Multitask for You

3. Combine small tasks.

While multitasking is arguably counterproductive, you can prioritize tasks instead. In lieu of interrupting larger tasks with small ones, group small tasks together.

You can possibly check email every morning and then check your business bank account. If you complete similar tasks in sequence, instead of leaving your browser open all day, you can save time.

4. Complete important tasks first.

We all have a tendency to procrastinate in one area or another.

Setup daily task lists using Asana, ToodleDo, Producteev or other task management applications. Then prioritize the most important tasks and start working on them.

Once you complete more difficult or important tasks, you lose the pressure associated with large tasks looming over your head. It then becomes easier to do smaller jobs. This also forces you to prioritize, which will give you a new perspective and motivation to accomplish your tasks.

These are just a few tech-inspired productivity strategies that will be useful for you and your staff. Be sure to get feedback from employees about what is working and what needs to be refined. If everyone has a stake in how things run, they are likely to run more smoothly.
