6 Tips to Help Improve Your Business

Be a more efficient time manager by using the rule of two. Focus on the two most important tasks in your day, and you’ll become more productive.
Start a filing system and toss everything you don’t need. Eliminating will make it easier to locate the important papers.
Limit your work-starting routine to 15 minutes. That is, don’t spend more than 15 minutes getting coffee, settling in, reading e-mails, checking messages, or looking at newspapers. You are often at your freshest and most productive at the beginning of the day.
Write two to-do lists. The first should contain everything that you need to get done soon. It should be a comprehensive list of short-, medium-, and long-term projects and work, and you should constantly adjust it. The second to-do list should be what you can reasonably expect to get done today, and today only.
Take a few moments to assess the day’s emotional challenges. Almost as important as your to-do list is a “be prepared for” list. Inventory the tough phone calls, boring meetings, challenging customers, frustrating red tape, infuriating rush-hour drives, droning detail work, and other challenges you may face.
Visualize your day. Try starting each day by closing your eyes for 10 or 20 seconds and visualizing how you want it to go.
