Create Subsections in Your Master Task List



[[:encoded, "Once you’re clear on the types of tasks to include, create subsections for each of your tasks. Generally, you should list two to seven subsections under each master task. In the subsections, list smaller tasks that must be accomplished in order to carry out the master task. This is a way of breaking down larger tasks, one step at a time.\n\nHere are some examples of a master task list main task with subtasks.\n\nMaster Task List \n1. Marketing Management\n•\tLocate blogs to advertise with\n•\tContact bloggers and negotiate rates\n•\tLocate Linked-in Expert at Advertising\n•\tDetermine an Advertising Budget for Expected Outcomes based on Stats the Expert Shares\n•\tAsk people I know for a referral to a copywriter.\n•\tHire a copywriter to create copy for advertisements\n•\tAsk people I know for a referral to an online graphics designer\n•\tHire graphic designer to design online advertisements \n\n2. Hire Virtual Financial Planner/Virtual Assistant (VA)\n•\tAsk people I know for referrals to a possible virtual planner / VA\n•\tHire a virtual financial planner, so I don’t have to spend my time on the plan\n•\tHire a VA to do things that they can do, so I don’t have to do them\n•\tHave the FP / VA create a procedures manual for their job\n\n3. Client Liaison\n•\tMeet with clients over lunch\n•\tNegotiate contracts\n•\tUp-sell clients on additional services and products that they need to have\n•\tAddress the concerns of prospective clients\n•\tCreate a survey to determine client satisfaction \n•\tMeet with clients for their progress meetings\n•\tAsk clients for referrals / introductions\n\nThe goal is to accomplish the tasks on your list as soon as you can, so you can clear your head of the distractions. To aid in that, place the tasks from your master task list into a calendar where you can map out time limits for each task. As you accomplish your tasks, check them off or cross them out so you get a visual affirmation of your goal achievement. If you don’t complete all of your tasks in any given day, just carry them over to the next day - or the next available day.\n\nRemember to delegate the unimportant or low-priority tasks to an assistant or employee. You, as the business owner, should only be focusing on the most vital tasks that are best suited to be handled by you. Everything else is trivial, temporary, or low-priority, and can likely be delegated to an assistant.\n\nThe composition of everyone’s master task lists will differ greatly, but the most important thing to keep in mind when learning how to use a master task list is remembering to not make it overly complicated. Identify the tasks you must accomplish, break them down into smaller tasks, apply the 4 D’s, and slap them onto your list. That’s really all it takes.\n\nTo download a Free Sample Prioritized Action List (PAL) that everyone in your office can use, go to https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/pal-sample/.\n\nIf you get value from these Podcasts, please take a minute to leave me a short review.
