Many times business owners fall into established routines in their day-to-day. Every so often workflow processes and procedures should be evaluated for efficiency and effectiveness. This is doubly true when it comes to using technology. iPhones in particular have had many different iterations and, as one TikTok user discovered, the charging habits we used to know don’t apply to the latest generation of phones. The big secret he revealed was that you should leave your phone unplugged when possible overnight, and only charge the phone when it’s below 20% battery charge left. This reduces the amount of charging cycles on the phone and extends battery life. There are 5 important lessons to be learned from this technique that can be applied to running a business.
1. Evaluate your workflows regularly
Just like plugging in your phone when you sleep was the logical step when cell phones first became ubiquitous in the early 2000’s, many workplaces follow established routines they picked up from just being in the workforce over the years. Many times, there are no deliberate considerations as to how workers interact with the tools and technology that are available as an employee. The person is hired, set in front of a computer, and left to their own after minimal training. Tips and tricks should be shared throughout the company periodically to promote communication and efficiency among colleagues. Just because someone has always done something one way, doesn’t mean it’s the best or even practical. Documenting job’s by deliverables and establishing a workflow diagram should be considered if no current documentation exists.
2. Invest in technology that is productive
Don’t throw money at a problem and expect it to solve workplace performance concerns. With SAAS models for software now being the norm, each tool should be evaluated on its merits and function. A good example would be forcing all employees to join a chat app when email already serves this function. More apps may simply end up adding more systems employees have to log into and check before they begin their work day. Each piece of technology should have a clearly defined role in the organization.
