Getting Organized: Lesson #1 for Small Business Owners

-Rich McIver

As our small business continues to grow, I'm finding more and more of my time is spent on administrative things like payroll, billing and other mundane organizational tasks. 

To be honest, this is not the sort of work that I enjoy, and it's not why I started this business in the first place, so I'm always looking for ways to streamline the process so that I spend less time on the technical details of running a business, and have more time for doing the marketing and planning that I enjoy most.

Anyway, I was looking into getting some TimeTracker software so that I could figure out where I was wasting time during the day (not surprisingly most of it was due to my RSS) when I came across an article over at AvivaDirectory entitled "The Entrepreneur's Guide to Web2.0" I was immediately interested.  Admittedly, I'm sort of a sucker for new gadgets and apps.

The point is, there are a number of really neat apps that I think most of us (small business owners/managers) should be using that we're not ... simply because we don't know about them.

Recently I've started using Get Harvest and I've setup a personal and company account up over at Campfire.  These apps aren't revolutionary, but they have helped me get a lot more productive and stay on task, and I would bet that your biz could use some help on that front as well.
