The power of the White Board!!
I started using white boards in my home office about 7 years ago and have not looked back. I started off by purchasing a small white board from target for daily goals and now have 6 full size whiteboards in my office that get updated daily. Some hang on the walls, some are stand alones, 2 are on my desk and 2 lean on the wall.
What are some of the things I write on all these White Boards you might ask?
Daily, weekly and monthly goals and last months goals if they were hit or missed and if missed why.
The current days TO DOs that once done i will physically erase off the white board. (its a great feeling of accomplishment still to this day)
Weekly revenue projections, targets and goals with profits and losses if any. As well as set backs and payment delays.
A list of my offshore contacts names (and what I use them for) with time zone and 4 clocks above that white board with the current time of that offshore providers location. I more recently added my US based fiverr workers to this board so i can quickly find them online and reorder and remember what they did for me. I get so many services done online i forget who did what, for how much and where i found them so this board is vital, one click glance and i can get things done fast.
A giant 5 foot tall white board with my current websites holdings and stats about every website i own with current page rank, marketing efforts, who its hosted with etc...
A board with flippa sites i am bidding on or selling.
A small white board i call 'trend watch' which focuses on my selling trends, buying trends, WSO trends, current industry trends etc.. That helps me to keep my finger on the pulse of the business. I also use this board to detail tips, tricks or tactics that work or dont. For instance if i try a marketing tactic that works great or set me back I will detail it on this board.
I hope these tips helps someone who may be feeling a lack of focus, or disorganized or lost when they start the day upon sitting down at the computer. If i was to start my day by sitting down at the computer and NOT seeing these white boards I would feel pretty lost.
I also compliment these white boards with excel spreadsheets and word documents as well as iCal and its a system that I have built and refined over the past years that with a couple minutes a day and quick glances helps my small business grow and thrive.
Also if you have a good whiteboard tip or trick or want to share your system that would be great!
"Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to," said the Cat.
"I don’t much care where--" said Alice.
"Then it doesn’t matter which way you go," said the Cat.
"--so long as I get SOMEWHERE," Alice added as an explanation.
"Oh, you’re sure to do that," said the Cat, "if you only walk long enough."
