Running several companies at once: seven habits that save time
What really changes your life when you run several activities: few tools, a daily check-in, well-tuned alerts.
Running several companies is not impossible, but it calls for a different organisation from running one. Here are seven simple habits used by many multi-activity entrepreneurs.
1. One place for what is urgent
Decide that everything urgent must arrive in the same place. You no longer have to wonder where to look.
2. A five-minute check-in every morning
Urgent items first, then unanswered messages, then yesterday’s figures.
3. A reply rule
Set a reply time for each type of request (quote, complaint, simple question) and stick to it.
4. Alerts only for what matters
Too many alerts kill the alert. Keep the ones that call for a quick decision.
5. One simple goal per activity
A monthly revenue target for each business is enough to spot a slump.
6. Delegate with clear tasks
Assign each task to a person with a date. A log of who handled what avoids duplicates.
7. An end-of-day ritual
Two minutes to note tomorrow’s tasks and close open topics.
