What is the status of your 2022 TO DO LIST?

3/29/2022

You aren't alone if your TO DO LIST seems to be getting longer than shorter. Recently I have been focused on the TO DOs that were stuck on the bottom of my list.  Our consulting services are focused on helping business owners and leaders check off and complete TO DOs.

​Here are some tips and tricks we recommend to help you check off a TO DO today.
  1. Are you starting the day with no plan? Start the day focused on what needs to get done today and what can wait. Yes, your favorite tasks may not be what you need to do today.
  2. Are you stuck due to barriers? Acknowledge barriers you are having to completing TO DOs. Is it information you need from someone else? Is it a supply or equipment that is needed? Are there skills you need to learn? Do you need a new staff person or even a temporary assistant?
  3. Are you being resistant to change? Change is hard, but it can also hinder TO DOs that will leverage your business towards innovation and/or a product/service relevance to your customer and/or vendor needs. Get ready to be open to taking some risk and try something new.
  4. ​Are you forgetting about follow up? Follow up will bottle-neck progress. Today is the day to follow up on the TO DOs that you are waiting for information to complete your TO DOs.
  5. ​Are your TO DOs in your head? We highly recommend you grab a notebook and dump your head to paper. The act of writing down your list will help you prioritize and strategize and most importantly help you sleep. You don't have to worry about forgetting anything.

What projects are stuck at the bottom of your TO DO list?

7/29/2021

The question "What projects are at the bottom of my TO DO list?" is a question that I asked myself many times both leading a growing department in a research (R1) higher education institution and also as a small business owner and they remained the same month after month. What were the reasons these projects couldn't get completed? 

We want to ask you the same question "What projects are at the bottom of your TO DO list?".

If you are like most people who we have asked this question to, they pause (they know what the projects are but they are shy to say them) and so we probe them with the following three questions and then the flood gates open of projects.

1. What project(s) do you know you need to do but don't have the capacity to do them and also keep the day-to-day business going?
2. What project(s) requires expertise you don't have and either you don't have time and/or an interest to learn?
3. What project(s) requires research that you don't have staff and/or the capacity yourself to gather so you can analyze and make decisions?

We have discovered the secret sauce to get the bottom-of-the-list projects completed is to have someone focus 100% on the project and move it to completion. Remember some of the bottom of the TO DO list projects are catalysts for customer growth and/or being able to scale the business. Can you afford not to work on them?

We have the skills and expertise* to evaluate your project and prepare a work scope and tasks to have your project "get legs" and move off your TO DO list. We look forward to learning about your organization and how we can help you.

We have put together three monthly project scope levels to help us scope out your needs and help you get your projects completed within your budget.
  1. Virtual Monthly Business Support - Small Project Scope = $300 1 hour 1:1 consultant time + up to 5 hours of project work.
  2. Virtual Monthly Business Support - Medium Project Scope = $600 2 hours 1:1 consultant time + up to 10 hours of project work.
  3. Virtual Monthly Business Support - Large Project Scope = $900 3 hours 1:1 consultant time + up to 15 hours of project work.
