Improve Paper Management by Printing to PDF

0 Comments/ in App of the Week, Electronic Organizing, Innovative Idea, Media, Paper Management, Time Management and Productivity / by Innovatively Organized
May 23, 2012
As a small business owner, how much paper and printer ink do you go through in a month?  Here’s a suggestion that could help you save money by using less paper and less ink.  As an alternative to printing your documents on paper, print to PDF.  Printing to PDF creates a PDF of your documents which you can file electronically and easily access and share later.  A few options you can use to print to PDF are PrimoPDF, doPDF and CutePDF Writer.  If you have to print a web page, try PrintFriendly, which removes ads, navigation, and web page junk, so you save paper and ink when you print.  Plus, you save time by not having to navigate around the extra clutter in the document!

Tips to Use TaskRabbit to Get Things Done

0 Comments/ in App of the Week, Product Spotlight, Resources, Time Management and Productivity, Tools and Apps / by Innovatively Organized
February 27, 2012
Description:
We all have them – projects and errands we need to do, but just can’t find the time or energy to complete.  Well what if you were able to easily find someone else to complete the task at a reasonable price?  Recently we came across a company called TaskRabbit, and when we heard about what they do, we got excited! With TaskRabbit you have ‘Rabbits’ that complete your tasks for you, allowing you to finally turn those to-do’s into dones! It takes just three easy steps:

1)  Post a task (deliveries, office work, shopping, chores, handyman work, etc.)
2)  ‘Rabbits’ make offers and the lowest bidder will be assigned the task
3)  You pay when the task is done

Why it’s unique:
Each of the ‘Rabbits’ go “through a multiple step application process which includes an essay, video interviews and a background check before being selected to run Tasks.” Here are a few things that set it apart:

  • Saves You Time - At Innovatively Organized, we love to help people save time, and delegating tasks is one of the easiest ways to do that.
  • Easy to Use – The website is very user friendly, allowing you to post your task quickly. They also have an app.
  • Fast Turnaround – Need to get a project done same-day? We enjoy that TaskRabbit allows you to set a deadline for your project, which keeps you organized of course!
  • Competitive Prices – We like that you don’t have to worry about over-spending since bidding is involved, you are more likely to receive a competitive price.

Stay tuned for a detailed look at our experience testing TaskRabbit.

Quick Tips

For each task on your to-do list, add its estimated completion time. This gives you a realistic view of everything on your plate for the day.
Never plan every minute of your day – add buffer time to your day for the unexpected tasks that pop up.
Share part of your inbox with your assistant so you can efficiently delegate email responses to your assistant.
Just because your email comes to your phone, you don’t need to respond immediately. Schedule specific times to check email.
Try setting time limits for tasks that easily eat away your day, like responding to email or checking Facebook.
Create a system for processing business cards you receive. Try delegating the data entry portion of the task to an assistant or intern.
To reduce digital clutter, unsubscribe to email newsletters you don’t read.
Start prioritizing your tasks to ensure you spend your time and energy doing what is important.
Very illuminating going over my weekly review checklist and realizing that the parts of the work I dread doing are the things I don’t have systems and structure for… I can see already that this is going to be a big help, and wish I’d gotten started sooner! I’m feeling optimistic, and looking forward to solving the problem(s) and getting my time more focused on the patient work I love to do!Dr. Deborah E., ND
You definitely demonstrated what you do best – being organized! It was very apparent that you’ve gone through training and certification and truly know your business.Jeanette H., BPW
