Have you ever tried a "Power Hour?" It is a great technique for your business or office. Pick 4 areas of your business that really need some focus. (for example, marketing, book keeping, recruiting, office administration, etc.)
Divide your hour into 4 - 15 minute segments and follow these steps"
The concept of a power hour is that you spend 15 minutes -- really really focused minutes on four tasks that need consistent focus that you find you do not get to on a regular basis.
Here is how to make the most of that time.
Have all of the materials you need
* task lists
* phone numbers
* names
* other materials
* etc.
Pick an hour each day that you will be dedicated to your business
When are you most alert? When are you least distracted? Early in the morning? Late in the afternoon? Pick a hour where you can be really focused and then work through those 4 major areas and knock it out of the park!
Simple things done consistently create great results. Make sure you plan so that there are no interruptions during your power hour. Stick with it and before you know it, you will be one of those people that can get more done than anyone else!
