It might sound strange, but focusing on making the routine things in life boring frees up your cognitive memory to be more relaxed, and therefore, more creative.
Inefficiency is doubly damaging because it wastes your time and forces you to expend more cognitive energy to do simple tasks that need to be done but aren’t all that important to push your business forward.
Developing systems is outlining a specific step of steps that you always take to complete a certain task or part of your day (think a morning routine or a way you process client invoices, etc…)
Efficient people are reliable and consistent and they are sustainably so. They are reliable today and will continue to be reliable tomorrow.
If you want to be efficient, reliable, and more creative about the important things in your business, develop systems to make the boring-but-important things automatic and easy to do without having to think about them.
