A flexible work schedule is an important aspect of the modern workforce. It allows employees to balance the demands of their job with the demands of their personal lives, and it's a way to foster a healthier work-life balance.
However, incorporating a flexible work week into your business can be difficult — especially if it means sacrificing productivity. Here are some tips on how to incorporate a flexible work week without losing productivity:
Prioritize. Start with the most important tasks first and prioritize based on importance, not time. For example, if you are setting up new phone systems and want to get them up and running as quickly as possible, you should start by doing that task first, even if it means taking longer than expected. This will ensure that all other tasks get done on time and won't fall behind schedule.
Plan ahead. Create clear goals for each day, week or month so you know what needs to be done next at each step along the way toward achieving your goal(s). This will help you stay focused on completing tasks in order from shortest amount of time spent to largest amount of time spent (e.g., 1 hour vs. 6 hours).
Use technology effectively.
