Important things are falling through the cracks
How often do you find yourself running out of time to get all your jobs finished, so you put some of your work off to do the next day (but then the same thing happens the next day, and the day after that…)? Have you noticed the standard of your work slipping as you’re rushing to get as much done as possible? Have issues been raised that have gone unresolved due to a lack of time?
Staying organized is a constant struggle
Do you have so many things on the go that it’s hard to stay organized? If you're like most entrepreneurs, the answer is probably yes.
