"Not enough hours in your day?

You know the old saw - time is money! Here's where you'll find
time-saving tips and tricks to help you make the most of your
valuable working hours.

For starters, here's our first batch of Time-Saving Ideas
from Idea Cafe's Running Your Business section:


Get That Paperwork Off Your Desk

Only handle incoming mail once; act on it right away, file it, or
trash it. Don't let it hang around haunting you! Piled-up mail can
be a time consuming distraction.

Use The Time In Your Car
to listen to professional development audio.

Activate The Spam Filters
in your e-mail to save your going through all the spam and
manually deleting it. You may have to create rules for this,
depending on what e-mail program you use. It's worth it in the
long run to learn this feature.

Schedule Your Phone Time
Phone calls can be a distraction from your tasks. Decide what
hours of the day you'll let the phone ring through, and what
hours it should roll over to voice mail or your answering
machine.


Automate As Many Tasks As You Can
If your business involves constructing or making things, look
for shortcuts such as prefabricated parts or doing the repetitive,
time-consuming tasks while you watch television in the
evenings.

Now, what Time-Saving Tips & Tricks do you use? Please
add them below. Remember, the best tip each week wins the
super Idea Cafe T-Shirt!
