Working on a Startup from home appears to be a flexible option, but it has its own demerits. You get distracted by many things from the dirty dishes in the sink to the “walk your pet” sessions. These never ending home activities will keep bugging your work time every once in awhile.
At the end, it all depends on how wisely you manage your time to maximize productivity. Here are three strategies to make your home-based startup more productive.
Time Tracking
Get a better hold of your daily schedule, be more mindful about the activities you do in your daily routine. Once you have a clear picture about your everyday plans, you are capable of organizing your day in a more efficient way. I would recommend you to use programs like “Harvest” to track the hours you spend for startup oriented activities. There are applications that allow you to organize your time by allocating it to specific activities like, planning, business development, team meetings, etc.
IVR System
Investing in an interactive voice response system can be a very effective, professional and impressive way to have a scalable solution to your continuously growing business. There are several top quality IVR services available with various features like visual IVR, multi-modal option, Text2IVR, etc. which can help you create and develop better relationships with your customers.
Stay Organized
Being an entrepreneur you might be having regular meetings, miscellaneous work oriented activities to focus upon and at times it becomes very tedious to monitor all at the same time. You can use software/application (example — Evernote, OmniFocus) that can help you schedule all your tasks and you can have a better control over your work. These apps sync with your smartphones, tablets, laptops, and desktops to enable you to experience a fully integrated and organized work life.
Lastly, I would like to say that the more you become aware of your schedule the more you will be able to improvise it.
