Professional Organiser Lissanne Oliver has been keeping an eye on the small business people of Australia and identified five common time wasting mistakes.
Writing for Money magazine, Oliver says if any of the following issues sound familiar it's time to re-evaluate your organisational skills:
1. Give things a home - habitually place office items, computer documents, chequebooks, etc in the same easy to find place
2. Don't be too eager to please - don't say yes when you should be saying no; be realistic with deliverables and deadlines
3. Online all the time - don't spent too much time on the internet or reading non-work related email
4. Stay focused - know which jobs are important and prioritise; complete each task one at a time
5. Introduce systems - make sure you have processes in place for all aspects of your business; build a routine and stick to it
