You might have asked yourself many times in the past - or may even be wondering right now -what is the best way to juggle multiple projects at the same time without losing your sanity?
Impossible, you say? Not if you know what to do. The answer lies in these two strategies:
Planning and prioritizing
It may sound obvious to you, but do you actually apply these strategies to your business or are you working in a disorganized and haphazard manner, handling whatever project just happens to come across your desk without giving a thought to what your priorities are?
You are not alone. Many busy online entrepreneurs operate that way. More often than not, at the end of the day (or week) they realize that they haven't accomplished what they had set out to do, or achieved any of their goals.
There is a better, more efficient way, to run your business.
How?
- Before you start your day (or week), look at all your projects and decide which ones have to be done first. Is one project more pressing that another because the clients are getting impatient, or maybe because you have to launch a product, program, or a marketing campaign by a certain date?
- Once you narrow down which project has the priority over the others, map out a deadline and a schedule. That will give you an idea how much time you have and get you ready for the next step:
- Write down what exactly you need to do yourself and what tasks your contractors should be doing in order to complete the project in a timely manner.
Once you prioritize your projects, make a detailed plan for each one (as outlined above), and have a clear idea on what task should be done when (and by whom). You will find that staying focused and implementing your projects in a timely manner will bring the desired effect - be it client satisfaction, new customers or (the most important perk of all), a hefty profit.
Prioritize before you start working - only so will you know what to get done first and why
When you know what to do next will be easier to get things done
Wondering why you haven't reached your goal? Did you make a point to getting it done at a certain time?
