Small business owners handle everything from inventory to administrative paperwork, juggling their tasks to make their business work with limited resources. 39 percent of small business owners work over 40 hours, and 9 percent work over 60 hours per week, according to a Yodle survey.

One way to cut back on the amount of time you spend clocking in is by utilizing business tools to streamline your productivity. You may not always have the room in your budget to hire another employee to delegate tasks to, but technology tools are less expensive, and require much less time investment in most cases.

The endless amount of bookkeeping surrounding a business is enough to make anyone's brain hurt, especially if math and accounting isn't your thing. You take the time to do everything right so your employees get the proper pay and you don't have tax issues down the road, but it's taking up a big chunk of your day. Look into software that handles payroll for small business, such as Intuit Payroll. This service works well with Quickbooks, which you may already use for your business accounting.

The Humble To-Do List

One downfall of handling many aspects of your business personally is the risk of becoming overwhelmed. If you're waking up in the morning and would rather stay in bed and sleep instead of heading to work, you may be facing major task overload. You don't need a full out task or project manager to keep yourself on track with your personal tasks. The Guardian recommends implementing a to-do list for handling your day to day tasks. Look into apps such as Wunderlist or the task feature through Gmail to keep yourself on track. Wunderlist is a cloud based software-as-service app, which means the company hosts the software through their hardware end, and you access it through an app or web browser. One advantage to using these services instead of writing your task list on a piece of paper is that the list stays synced between all of your devices.

Tracking Your Time

Find yourself wondering where all the time's gone at the end of the day? One way to boost your productivity is to identify exactly what you spend your time on every day. The Chrome browser extension Time Stats is useful if you feel you spend too much unproductive time on websites. It details exactly how much time you spend on each site, with handy visualizations to help you see whether you're spending a bit too much time on social media. Use StayFocusd or a similar browser extension to block websites that you spend too much time on. StayFocusd, available from the Google Chrome Store, allows you to set different time frames for blocking sites, as well as a nuclear option that you can't disable if you really need to get work done. Alternatively, you can block these sites through your network directly.
