Productivity is important for any business to be successful. But… how is productivity calculated? We explore that along with time-saving tips on this episode.

How Productivity is Calculated Episode Summary

Productivity is important for any business to be successful, especially if it's a small one that relies on the efforts of a few people. But… how is productivity calculated? More importantly, how can you measure and improve the productivity of your business?

In this video, we’ll provide a few tips that can help measure productivity, including how to break down tasks effectively and how to conduct a time audit to help you prioritize key tasks, reallocate resources, and target areas where you can improve your business the most.

Words of Wisdom

When I work with people who run small businesses, I ask, what is your marketing budget? They say, 'I don't have a marketing budget.' I ask, how many hours a week are you spending on social media? How much do you charge per hour for your services? You have a marketing budget. You just don't acknowledge it because you're not thinking about all that time that you're on social media. — Jen
If I have a thing that I need to do frequently, I will break that down into parts. I'll make a checklist for myself so that every week on a certain day of the week, I check that I did those things. I have it all in front of me. Then I know that whole project is complete. Any project can be broken down first into the larger sections and then you take each section and break that further down into tasks. — Shelley
