28. Make Time: Why More Tech Makes Some People Less Productive And What To Do About it
In this week's episode of Make Time, Sam explores how small business owners often accumulate too many digital tools in response to problems, leading to decreased productivity. She offers strategies to streamline your digital environment, adopt intentional technology, and ultimately work smarter, not harder.
The Digital ROI Formula Sam refer's to:
Digital Investment Score = (TxAxFxS) / (CxIxR)Value Side (numerator)
T = Time saved (per week)A = Adoption Likelihood (1-5)
F = Frequency of Use (1-5 - Daily, 5 - Weekly, 3 - Monthly, 1)
S = Strategic Alignment (1-5) (Does this support growth, systems or scale?)
Cost Side (denominator)C = Cost (monthly $ equivalent)
I = Implementation Effort (1-5)
R = Risk of Complexity (1-5)
Score
Over 5 - Strong investment
2-5 - Conditional (may need redesigning or better implementation plan)
Under 2 - Do not invest
