It’s 6 AM and we need to plan our day.  Oh boy.

There are 87 emails that came in since 6PM yesterday, 2 internal meetings, 3 external meetings, 5 phone meetings and 14 items on the to-do list that must be completed today, including proposals, follow ups, job offers and CRM updates.  Whew!

Does that sound like you and your typical day?

With all of the demands on our time, it’s more important than ever that we become more efficient.  Some of that can be accomplished through the use of tools, but as with all automation, if you don’t have a good manual process, the automated process probably won’t help.
