Are you losing 30 days a year on admin?

More than 36 percent of respondents on our latest LinkedIn poll said they spend more than 5 hours per week on administrative tasks.

Poll Results: How many hours per week do you spend on admin tasks?

Last week we asked our LinkedIn community how many hours per week they spent doing administrative activities. Managing their diary, filing their expenses and engaging in social media activities, along with other administrative tasks. If you are an entrepreneur or small business owner and the results don’t make you sweat. They probably should.

 

Only 18% of our respondents spent less than 2 hours per week on administrative tasks, 45% said that number was closer to 5 hours per week and an enormous 36% said that number was even greater than that.

5 hours per week. That’s 20 hours per month. That’s 240 hours per year. That’s 30 working days.

As entrepreneurs ourselves we know how strong the temptation is to do everything yourself, we really do… but can you put your hand on your heart and tell us this is the best use of an entire month of your year?
