Create job procedures for everything you do.
There are several benefits to this practice.
- You complete the task every time, with a written job procedure you won’t miss things.
- You save time because you don’t need to think of the steps.
- Saves mental energy because you can just do the steps without thinking.
- You can evaluate the steps and determine ways of improving.
- If someone needs to do it for you the steps are already written
- It makes it easier to delegate.
Sometimes, when we go to create the steps we realize that we don’t know exactly what needs to be done, we are figuring it out each time we do it. Figure out once the best way to do it and then repeat.
