Despite their best intentions many businesses are plagued by inefficient workflows. Employees are constantly searching for files, switching between tools, and chasing status updates. The result is that 60% of the day is consumed by work about work, leaving just 40% for skilled work and planning. To free up time for strategic initiatives it is essential to organize your business’s work. This article will provide some tips and strategies to aid you in organizing your individual tasks projects, team members, and system.

Efficient File Organization

Organizing your files in the proper places is a simple, but effective method to boost productivity and reduce time. If every file has a designated home and an appropriate description, teams won’t spend long searching for what they need. This facilitates collaboration and less unnecessary debriefings.

Project-Level Work Organization

The creation and use of templates for each project will help reduce confusion for both experienced and new project managers. Templates allow for democratization of knowledge and facilitate regular processes that can be easily updated by learning. When you organize each project in a system that incorporates dashboards of progress, the stakeholders have an overview at a glance and you can speed up the status meeting.

You can lessen the mental stress of trying to keep track of all your work in your head. This lets you concentrate on your creative and productive work and avoids burnout.
