“If I consider my life honestly, I see that it is governed by a certain very small number of patterns of events which I take part in over and over again…when I see how very few of them there are, I begin to understand what huge effect these few patterns have on my life, on my capacity to live. If these few patterns are good for me, I can live well. If they are bad for me, I can’t.” — Christopher Alexander
According to Gretchen Rubin’s latest best-seller – “Better than Before” – creating habits is a really good thing. By putting a habit in place, you are removing the need to make a decision. By automating actions, you are freeing up time and energy that can be better used elsewhere. I guess this is what business systems are all about.
We like habits so we’ve built in plenty of automation into docSAFE. For example, you can send documents to clients for signing and it’ll generate reports to tell you what’s been signed and what’s outstanding. By getting into the habit of getting online signatures, you’re taking away the decision of when, where and how to get together with your client. You’ve saved yourself the decision making process and the time it takes to organise and get the meeting completed – all for the sake of automating a repetitive action.
Of course you should meet with your clients but for the bigger things, not just a signature.
Talk to us about how we can automate parts of your office systems (that shouldn’t require thought) so you can get on more efficiently (with the activities that do).
