Business Advice: Do more than one thing at a time

When it come to business, big or small, time is money. The simplest way to save money in business is to become more efficient. Which brings me to my blog topic of the week; Do more then one thing at a time. Sounds simple eh? Like something you already do in your business. But how well do you really do it? I'm not referring to how well you can drive and talk or email. I'm referring to the number of things you do and note when you get up from your desk to do something. For example, a simple one is if you're hungry you'll get food and usually you'll get a drink as well. All of a sudden one thing turned into two. Now, the goal of this blog post is to get you thinking about doing several things when doing the main thing you set out to do. Another example is walking from one area of you business to the other, your office to HR. Your main goal is to get to HR and ask them a question. There are several things you can do well walking through your business. You can check to make sure the floors are clean, say hi to your employees as you walk by and just keep a general eye and ear open. Essentially, be aware of what is going on throughout.
No matter what your main goal is there are several smaller tasks that can get done or mental notes you can make well completing your main objective.
Next time you get up from your desk or decide to do something, business related or not, think of other tasks you could be doing or are doing in order to get a better grasp on this concept. The way to get good at this is to try and incorporate it into your daily habits. Over time you'll get better and your business will become more efficient and potentially more profitable.
Thanks for reading! I appreciate it!
