This way I can find those items in a snap and spend my energy getting mentally ready to tackle my client&#8217;s issues with them. You can do this with paper as well. Keep all items organized in an area organized by how you would look for the item.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I keep a separate electronic filing space for all my coaching and consulting tools and templates that I&#8217;ve created. It allows me to pull up a template in no time and use it as a guide to help my client through a process for getting solid results. I can also use it as a staring point to edit and create a more customized piece.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I do searches through all my files all the time&#8230;it can save your sanity&#8230;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I use my own proprietary <strong>Intentional Delegation Model<\/strong> to help me decide what I can delegate, to whom, and how I can get the outcome I want. It took me a while to get comfortable with the idea, but once I did, it has been magic!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #5f97a5;\"><strong>WHAT WILL YOU DO NEXT TO STREAMLINE YOUR WORK?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The power is in your hands! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The key to being really successful this time (because I&#8217;m sure you have tried this before&#8230;) is <strong>focusing on the smallest things that will make the most difference.<\/strong> I tell my clients, &#8220;<em>You don&#8217;t have to boil the ocean<\/em>&#8221; to make a difference.
