As a remote worker there may be need for getting organized and using systems in several areas. Consider:
  • Communication
  • Files and information
  • Financials
  • Client files
  • Marketing systems
Make a list of the different systems you want to make. Getting organized can involve more than having good systems. It might entail things like:
  • Having a way to file information
  • Having a place for everything – consider the things you are going to need to use on a regular basis. What are the things you will want to reach regularly?
  • A way to keep different projects and pieces of work separate
  • A way to access things offline and online
What’s going to help you get organized? Many professionals indicate that organizing approaches can be contingent on your style. So, if you have a preference for visual learning, it may be useful to have open cupboards (or be able to open a door and take a look at what you have). For those that are minimalists, a place to put things away and close off on business may be a preference.
What do you know about your own preferences for how you like to work and see things?

Need to Know
  • Systems help with consistency which is important when we are part of a team. Systems can help to streamline and standardize communication and customer service, so everyone gets a similar approach whether they contact us in Toronto, or LA, or New York, or Sao Paolo.
  • Systems help us automate. We use less brain power when things are systematized.
  • Systems help us scale. If you need to send out the same information to all stakeholders, is there a better way you can automate that message? What systems are going to help with core activities like – communication, reporting etc.?
AS you think about your work right now, what systems will help you as a business?
