When running any business or being a freelancer it’s easier than ever to mistake being productive with simply being busy. True productivity comes from spending your time on what value you offer most.
In the early days of starting any venture you can easily consume yourself with all the tasks that one needs to do in order to create momentum and strive towards perfection. However, as you experience success and growth, it’s important to remember to leave behind some of the tasks that you’ve been doing yourself and streamline or outsource items on the ‘to do’ list that you don’t necessarily need to be doing yourself. One of the easiest ways to do that, and still regain that all important ‘control’ (that we convince ourselves we need), is to use tools and technology to automate or eliminate from our personal time.
Some tools are obvious and over the coming months we’ll be collating lots of content for you about those systems and tools we use the most; Photo Mechanic, Lightroom and Email. However, optimising the ‘obvious’ tools is only one part to spending more time on what you love, or with whom you love.
Other less known tools; such as TextExpander, save us literally hours every week!
In the past we’ve also written about the WD Passport Harddrive, a cloud storage Hard Drive that can be used to backup your SD cards on location without even turning on your computer. (saving a good 30 minutes for every wedding) and LastPass, the only password manager you’ll ever need, it not only automatically logs you into every online account you have, saving you time remembering passwords, but simultaneously protects you from hackers.
Of course, we also have our very own Wedding Planner Wall Calendar, which incorporates many business health tracking tools, plus organisation with your couples, all into one space above or beside your desk.
