There are aspects of being the captain of your own ship that may still feel like work to you—like long, drawn-out meetings, stressful deadlines, and endless piles of paperwork.
Citing advice from well-known executives and other online sources, here's a compiled list of 10 ways entrepreneurs can encourage productivity for themselves and their company at large.
Employee check-ins
Keep an open communication channel with employees to check in on projects, challenges, and triumphs to create a more productive environment.
Consider keeping one work day meeting-free
Freeing up one day a week to focus on crossing off items on to-do lists instead of creating more can lend itself to being a much more constructive week.
Structure to-do lists in calendar form
It will help to not overburden yourself with extra tasks that you really don’t have time for because you’ll have easier access to your due dates.
