Entrepreneur
|October - November 2020

1/ Make three lists.
“I have three to-do lists instead of one, organized by category. The first list is COVIDrelated tasks (PPP, EIDL, grants, etc.). The second is pre-COVID business. The last is new business— pursuing opportunities with people who may not have used our services before but now are interested. I set a goal to work on one thing from each category per day and cross off two things from each list per week.” —KIM KAUPE, cofounder, The Superfan Company
2/ Create transitions.
