Have A More Productive Work Day

Everyone seems to be becoming busier and busier, and owners of Self Storage facilities are no different. We’re all trying to achieve so much more in the work day, which means we need to become more efficient and productive with our time. If you can make each work day more productive, your Self Storage facility is more likely to become more successful. Here are a few processes you can implement in your facility to help you and your staff have a more productive work day.

Take advantage of technology

Technology can be both a blessing and a curse to your productivity. While some aspects of technology, such as your personal social media accounts, might be a hindrance to your productivity, there are other aspects that can actually help you. Self Storage software can allow you to more productively process move ins and customer details. RapidStor, for example, allows customers to book their storage unit online, which saves time for you and your employees.

You should also experiment with some of the technologies that were designed to purposely help increase productivity. There are a wealth of productivity apps available for both iOS and Android, so take some time to pick certain ones that best suit your needs.

Learn to delegate

You have employees for a reason. They’re there to increase the productivity of your entire business. It’s easy to get bogged down in ‘busy work’ or tasks that are simple to do, but very time consuming. These sorts of tasks should be delegated to your employees.

Not only does delegating tasks free up more of your time, but it can also be beneficial for your employees. Giving them some extra responsibilities can show them you believe in their abilities and highlight the level of trust you have in them to do their job.

Check messages less frequently

There’s nothing more time wasting than stopping the task you’re currently doing constantly to check your incoming emails. Doing this pulls your focus away from more important tasks. Instead, try to check and respond to your emails and messages less frequently and in batches. The less frequently you can check your emails, the more time you can spend focusing on and completing essential tasks.

Take breaks

If you don’t stop working for the entire day, it won’t be long before you burn out. You need to take frequent breaks from your work during the day. This can help you reset your mind, decrease your stress levels, and be more productive when you sit back down to work again.
