Meditation:

Deborah Sweeney from MyCorporation.com uses Headspace. According to Deborah, “Headspace gives me a moment (or a few minutes) to clear my mind, focus my intentions and set myself for a productive, effective, and calm day. I find it to be my most effective hack for handling anything that comes my way on any given day.”

Email Management:

Jennifer Harder, a mortgage broker in Victoria, British Columbia commented that she “set[s] out a dedicated time to check my emails. It’s critical to schedule time in your day to check your emails; you can do this twice a day, once in the morning and again later in the afternoon.”

Napping:

Erin Mastopietro of Dope Dog is someone that fully believes in the benefits of a nap to boost her performance.  “Take breaks at regular intervals to keep the brain fresh and working. If you work too much, it will exhaust your energy and reduce your capacities thus, limiting your potential. Hence, it is important to take naps or breaks regularly.”

Prepare for the Next Day:

Michael Roub of Inflection 360 “take[s] 10-20 minutes each evening to prep for the day ahead.”  He continues by saying, “I get more done in my first two hours when focused like this than I often do in an entire unfocused day.”

These are just a few quick examples of ways to be productive as an entrepreneur, business leader or anyone that wants to get more out of their daily life.

Get A Different Perspective

It is important that you get different perspectives before you start your restructuring. You are too close to some of the issues because you are running your business. Getting a different perspective than your own can be essential.

The Employee Perspective

Talk to selected employees to get an idea of what people find frustrating about the business and what works well.

Get a Different Perspective for Effective Restructuring

An Industry Colleague

Get is the outside perspective of someone else in your industry. These colleagues truly understand the issues that may impact your business and how they would manage.

An Outsider

Finally, bring in a coach or consultant to analyze your company. They may bring ideas to the table that you would not have considered previously. Consultants are trained to look at how businesses can grow regardless of what industry they are in. These experts will bring a neutral perspective and can often highlight problems that you didn’t even realize were an issue.

While you can restructure without any outside perspective, by getting this additional perspective you are better able to think openly about how to best change your business. Restructuring can be both time-consuming and expensive—make sure it is effective.
