As a Showit website designer, you know how rewarding yet time-consuming your work can be. Juggling multiple client projects, meeting deadlines, and operating in your flow design state can feel overwhelming. What if there was a way to cut your workload in half without hiring a white label designer? After working behind-the-scenes, streamlining and simplifying dozens of online businesses, I’ve learned how to run a lean, efficient and profitable business. In this guide, I’ll walk you through a practical approach to streamlining your workflow, so you can focus more on what you love – designing!
The first step in cutting your workload is to understand where your time goes. Use a time-tracking tool, like Toggl (it’s free!), to track how long it takes to design client websites and identify where you spend your time each day. This might seem like an unnecessary task, but after a week of tracking, you will gain invaluable insights into your workflow. I tracked every single second of my client work for years that it became second nature. I was able to pin point what tasks I spent the most time on and get a birds eye view of any bottlenecks that were slowing me down.
Why This Matters
Understanding how you spend your time is crucial for identifying inefficiencies. You’ll be able to pinpoint exactly where your time is going and make informed decisions about how to improve your workflow.
Once you have a clear picture of how you spend your time, categorize your tasks into three groups: Do, Delegate, Delete.
Example
With your tasks categorized, the next step is to streamline your “Do” tasks. Ask yourself:
