Cleaning up chaos and restoring order to your business is all about finding the right tools and methods that work with you, your clients, your contractors—and your unique type of professional organizing business.
Here are some signs that your business may need to be de-junked:
- You feel that your business is stuck in the position it is currently in
- Your creative juices are running low
- You are unsure of what steps to take next to propel your business forward
- You are having a hard time coming up with ideas and making decisions
- Your workspaces are cluttered, and you feel stressed very quickly when you are there
- You feel overwhelmed regularly
Do any of these things sound familiar? If they do, your business is likely cluttered and possibly stunted as a result.
To move on to the next stage with your business, you need to declutter or de-junk your business.
Here are three ways that you can get started de-junking your business right now:
1. Create a manual for your business
You will want to create two manuals—a master manual for yourself, and one without your personal information for your VA or project manager.
Your business manual should act as a complete package, should anything happen to you, so that whoever jumps in to take care of your business while you’re out of commission can locate all the information, logins, websites, accounts to the tools you use, independent contractors to be paid, business documents and even the simplest things like how to access your computer. LastPass is the tool I use to hold all my passwords but also to gather all my accounts in case my husband needs to take care of anything for me.
2. Look at your software
Take a look at the software you have on your computer as well as the apps you have on your phone.
What business tools serve you well and are used often? Which ones suck up more of your time while you try to figure out how to use them than they are worth?
Clear away any software on your mobile and on your computer that is not useful and is just taking up space and mental bandwidth.
3. Break the decluttering process down
A great way to approach this process is by breaking the tasks down into manageable parts.
If over time things have piled up and right now you have tons of information, links and a lot to declutter, be it online or offline, create a doable plan so you don’t give up before you complete this important process.
Creating a calendar with a working schedule is the best way to accomplish this.
