First steps

  It's time to find out how powerful Timestripe when the whole team uses it. Create new workspace in the left-hand sidebar, invite everybody involved, and make everything that Timestripe can offer work for your team goals.

  Remember: your team aligns better when your strategic goals are directly linked with your tasks.

  

• 2. Set goals to get a snapshot of your progress

  Add your goals to Timestripe to start seeing the big picture. But don't limit yourself to personal goals, include goals that are related to business, hobbies, and so on. Timestripe helps to manage every aspect of life.

  

  Tip: Create a daily to-do list and prioritize tasks based on importance and urgency. This will help you focus on the most important tasks and ensure that you are making progress on achieving your goals.

  Use subgoals to divide big milestones into easy steps. In the end, every great achievement is built with small advances. Check out this short video about subgoals to learn more:

• 3. Schedule tasks and get control over time

  Scheduling tasks prevents you from being overwhelmed by a flood of responsibilities. Timetables transform time into your greatest ally, rather than a hindrance.

  

  Tip: Use a calendar to schedule appointments, meetings, and deadlines. This will help you stay on top of important events and ensure that you are aware of any upcoming commitments.

• 4. Use powerful note-taking system to capture ideas and collect data

  Collecting data is really improtant in any kind of enterprise. Make use of Notes & Thoughts to let your ideas thrive.

  

  Tip: Leverage text formatting styles to categorize and emphasize key information in your notes. Using consistent formatting not only enhances the visual appeal of your notes but also allows you to scan and retrieve information more efficiently. Remember, the key is to find a system that works best for you and stick with it for consistency.

• 5. Use boards for organising and take a helicopter view on your projects and knowledge

  Boards allow you to manage everything at once. No more brain torture of finding information and forgetting about deadlines. Make yourself reign over everything that happens inside your business.

  

  Tip: Regularly review and adjust your organizational systems. Keep in mind that your business is constantly evolving and what works today may not be effective tomorrow. Take the time to evaluate your processes, tools, and systems.

  

  Grab templates from Gallery to quickly put things into work. Choose any template that fits you, for example, this OKR Template:

  

  Extra tip:

  Implement OKR (Objectives and Key Results) framework to set clear, measurable goals for your business and track progress towards them. This will help you stay focused on what's important.
