As a solopreneur myself, I realize the importance of having all of my systems in one place.

What would happen if you got hit by a bus? Would anyone know how to take over for you?

Here is what I do to help keep myself organized:

1. I have a list of all of my clients in one place. I use an online system for tracking my time and invoicing my clients.

2. I use an online email program. All of my emails are filtered into folders by client.

3. I have all of my usernames passwords in one computer file that is alphabetacized. I also have a backup in an old fashioned index card system.

4. I have created step-by-step manuals of all of my monthly processes. For example, how to create an ezine with my ezine provider, how to post a blog to one of my sites, etc.

5. I have set up my online calendar to send me reminders for all of the recurring tasks/appointments. It is a great tool!

It is important to have at least one other person who can take over for you and be familiar with your systems.

Are you organized or do you have your usernames and passwords saved on post-it notes slapped all over your computer or desk top?

It is a new year so now would be a good time to move your important information to one spot and to train someone to take over in a pinch.

If you would like someone to help, pop me an email!
