If you're an entrepreneur, business coach, consultant, or service-based professional, there's one thing you can never get enough of: time.

Yet most business owners lose 10-20 hours every week on tasks that could be delegated, automated, or streamlined. These small but constant responsibilities drain mental energy, slow growth, and prevent you from focusing on revenue-generating activities.

At 702 Executive Group, we help entrepreneurs reclaim their time through executive virtual assistance, strategic systems, and done-for-you operational support. After working with countless business owners, we've identified the top 10 tasks entrepreneurs consistently waste time on every week-and how to eliminate them starting today.

1. Email Management & Inbox Chaos

The average entrepreneur checks email 11-20 times per day.
That's hours wasted sorting junk, replying to minor questions, and losing important messages.

Time Saver: Implement inbox rules, templates, and hire an executive virtual assistant to manage your email for you.

2. Scheduling & Calendar Coordination

Back-and-forth messages, rescheduling, creating meeting links-it all adds up.

Time Saver: Automated scheduling tools with built-in reminders can save 5-10 hours per week. (702 Executive Group sets these up for clients regularly.)

3. Social Media Posting & Engagement

Scrolling for "inspiration" turns into 45 minutes gone. Posting manually eats even more time.

Time Saver: Use a social media automation tool and outsource content batching.

4. Client Onboarding

Sending welcome emails, contracts, intake forms, and reminders is repetitive and time-consuming.

Time Saver: A 702 Executive Assistant can create automated onboarding workflows that run without your involvement.

5. Invoicing & Payment Follow-Ups

Chasing payments isn't just draining-it's a poor use of CEO time.

Time Saver: Set up automatic invoicing, recurring billing, and reminders.

6. Research & Information Gathering

Wanting "just a little info" turns into hours of rabbit holes.

Time Saver: Delegate research tasks to an executive assistant trained to gather and summarise key data quickly.

7. Document Creation & Admin Work

Proposals, slide decks, spreadsheets, notes-these tasks are essential but time-intensive.

Time Saver: Use templates and outsource document creation to save hours weekly.

8. Customer Support Replies

Answering FAQs, troubleshooting login issues, and responding to simple questions drains your focus.

Time Saver: A virtual assistant can manage support, create canned responses, and escalate only when needed.

9. Project Follow-Up & Task Tracking

Checking in with team members or keeping track of project progress often becomes a full-time job.

Time Saver: Implement a project management system with automated reminders and updates.

10. Organising and "Fixing" Digital Clutter

File organization, renaming documents, updating folders-it's busywork that eats time fast.

Time Saver: Have an operations expert build a simple, searchable folder structure and maintain it weekly.

The Hidden Cost of "Doing It All"

Most entrepreneurs don't realize how much time they lose on low-value tasks until they track it.
But the real cost isn't just time-it's:

• Missed revenue opportunities
• Constant overwhelm
• Slower business growth
• Reduced creativity
• Ongoing burnout

Your business doesn't need more of your time. It needs better systems and smarter support.
