I was talking with a colleague recently and she asked:
“Given you’ve published over 650 blog posts what systems do you have in play to help you with these tasks?”
Good question! Since time is always a limitation for all of us, being efficient, effective and productive is crucial for getting things done and fulfilling our goals. In other words, the key is to build simple business systems to accelerate your output for repeated items.

The first of my super simple business systems is to record and store my responses. Write things once and store them so you can re-use them later. Here’s some examples:
The second of my super simple business systems I use is to create checklists. If you haven’t read The Checklist Manifesto please do. It’ll overturn any doubts you have about the power of checklists. For instance, they save lives in hospitals and when we fly in planes.
Usually, my checklists are created as a quick hand-written note as I prepare for something. Then, I either record them into a Text Edit file or one of my favourite apps Things for Mac. It’s cheap and easy to use. Once you’ve completed your checklist you can retrieve it at any time and simply re-use it.
PS: Love to hear what simple business systems you employ.
