Final thoughtsYou have to start somewhere
Small teams need to maximise time and make sure they’re doing the most expedient and effective activities
Look at yourselfTake a critical view of your activities
Set personal and specific goals
Measure twice, cut once
Use metrics and benchmarks Make changes in what you do - don’t be afraid to prune where there’s no return on time investment
Right place, right time, right channel
Make strategic decisions on channels based on your core mission and what will work best for what you doMay require an out of working hours time shift (at least some times)
