Creating a business system or standard operating procedure (SOP) may be the right move for you.

Business systems are beneficial, too.

However, do not, I repeat, do not type or write directly into a task management system. Expense reports were taking twice as long to get done.

  Some say the traditional paper planner is the best, while others swear by their smart-phone or on line tool.  If you aren't particularly tech-savvy, you might feel more comfortable using a paper planner, rather than having to learn the ins and outs of an electronic diary system. Choose what you will use!

Use the notebook for everything you want to keep track of: to do lists, grocery lists, client meetings, phone calls, dreams and goals. Pick a half-dozen little items that can be completed in 5 minutes each or less (an email you need to send, a phone call to make, something to look up on the internet.) a 6x9(ish) spiral notebook.

Throughout the months of phone calls, backtracking, moving forward, and backtracking again, there was a lot of confusion. Twitter,Facebook, your project manager, your to-do list app, Google Analytics, your bookkeeping software, or your email accounts? My phone plressed the return key and it submitted. NOT a good system.
