53. Creating Recurring Tasks to Make Business Life Easier

It can be fun to do things on the fly, but that isn’t always practical or efficient when you’re running a business. In fact, daily and weekly tasks often get a little easier and less stressful if you are able to schedule them as recurring activities. That might sound less exciting, but sometimes a little less spice is a good thing! It can set you on a steady path that is easier to manage and create space for predictability that allows you to be more resilient and productive in your business.

It’s not uncommon for business owners to feel like we're in a race against time—we're trying to get the maximum amount of things done in a day until the clock runs out. But I want you to start thinking of your business differently. Don’t always approach your day like you’re racing against time; instead use time as an asset in your business. What that means is sitting down and figuring out what the most important things you do in your business are.

Separate out the things that are critical, crucial, and important to your business. You want to identify the things that really help keep your business afloat! Turn those into recurring tasks. Doing this will help you complete them faster and experience their benefits sooner. This is a critical shift toward success that can happen in your business.
