    I'm managing a lot of projects - How do you do it?

    MINDSET EXECUTION CHAT 
    Funnily enough, I've had a very long phone call this evening regarding the family business. It's got the potential, if I wanted. To earn me 100k a year and also is much easier than other freelancing work to delegate and automate. Its a simple buy/ sell business really and the margins on each...

    MINDSET EXECUTION CHAT 
    This looks great, thanks I will take a listen. Thats a really good idea, I use todoist religiously. Could park all the ideas and potential opportunities in a project there, just like you do with Trello. Very much like the GTD method, where you use an inbox to get the tasks out of your head...

    I'm managing a lot of projects - How do you do it?

    MINDSET EXECUTION CHAT 
    As you can imagine, this approach to business has crossed my mind many times. With many opportunities landing on my lap and considering; "am I committing to too much?" My gut feeling is to push the web work and aim in that direction, staying in my lane. But, as stated above, I still WANT to...

    Yeah, this seems like a sensible approach. You will always be more effective doing the things that enjoy.

    Long time lurker here.... so thought it was about time I got involved in this great community! I thought I would describe my situation as I have had many opportunities land on my lap over the last few months and wanted to hear feedback from others on how they manage spinning multiple plates. A...

    Thanks @Soundmaxx. Great to be here. Really appreciate the advice and am taking it on board. Are you a plumber based in the UK?

    INTRO 
    I did actually try a few pieces of software a while back, to try and automate a lot of the work. One called Tradify, the other was Servicem8. Both, tailored to construction and service businesses. They didn't quite fit and I had a few frustrations, so eventually gave up with them and went back...

    Wow, thanks for such a lengthy reply. Very insightful and I have taken a lot from it. Something we may be doing which could be a detriment to us, is providing a large amount of services. Perhaps we should look into scaling down the variety of work and focus on a few key sectors. We had looked...

    My first thing to do is simplify our quoting & invoicing system, both are quite labour intensive and require us to keep things up to date. Which is virtually impossible whilst we are still on the tools on site. The company is very new, we formed the partnership in November, after both running...
