Imagine Your Reality

Recently I’ve started offering a new package with my business services, which focuses on helping business automate what they do. It helps a business owner remove the overthink out of their process. It also helps a business owner create an objective record of the processes that can be passed onto someone who might buy the business.

The real value of documenting your process however is that it clears up the mental  clutter in your mind. It can be very easy to get mentally cluttered when you haven’t documented the process for how you accomplish a specific task. When I document a task, I find it gives me clarity, helps me understand the purposes for doing something, and stops me from overthinking it.

Documenting a process doesn’t have to be elaborate. It can be as simple as listing the desired results and then listing the steps taken to get to those results. But what does help is that as you write it out and later as you test your process, you will find that you’ll be able to eliminate steps that aren’t needed, as well as refine what is needed. You can test what you do against what you’ve written and determine what you are doing that is productive as well as what isn’t productive.

Documenting a process isn’t just putting it on paper. It’s getting the process out of your head and into a space where you can objectively observe it and change it as needed, and consequently change your activities so that they are productive and focused, and also automated.
