Effective Time Management Strategies

Scanning and Shredding
With all the time lost looking for paperwork,
replacing lost paperwork, and the space required,
every business should invest the time in scanning
documents and records to their computers and
shredding all paper that is not absolutely
necessary.

While this seems like an elementary concept, few
businesses fully utilize digital storage. This is one
time saver that does require an initial investment of
time, scanning paperwork and destroying. But
studies have shown that the time required to file,
protect, and retrieve documents is a major cost to
SMEs.

Backup Systems
Keep disaster plans in place and practice
prevention. With the scheduling software and now
available and the low cost of additional hard drives,
there is no excuse for not having daily backups of
computers.

One computer crash without a back up can cost
you more than just the time to recover; it can ruin
your business.
