Is It Time for a System Reboot?
Sometimes
you just need to step outside of the comfort of your daily practices and
systems and shake things up a bit. Think
of it as a way to test your systems, practices and theories.
How much of
your daily work is performed on auto pilot?
You have devised a system that works so well, you don’t have to think
about it. Well, you should consider
performing a system audit at least once per year.
There are
many tools available to help create an efficient and effective work environment.
Some of the more popular efficiency and
management tools include Basecamp, Asana, Freedcamp, Google Mail, and Microsoft
Outlook.
Before you
can decide on the right tool, you have to first understand what you need the
tool to do for you. You may need an
application that can works on very particular platforms; or one that allows you
to turn an email into a task with a reminder. Knowing what you need from the tools you use
can save time and money.
Measuring
the efficiency and efficacy of tool is just as important as the tool itself. Make sure you can measure how well your tools
are working for you today and use it as a baseline when you measure the how
well the new tools works.
If the new
tool doesn’t improve your processes or increases efficiency for you, don’t
switch. Sometimes your current tools is
perfect but you won’t know for sure unless you test it against another
similar tool.
