Here are three tips for streamlining your workflow so you can avoid losing momentum and avoid annoying interruptions.
Automation
Use tools and services that automate repetitive and time-consuming tasks.
Today, there are many useful tools and services available for making business team efficient. This would include options that allow you to sign PDF documents online, as well as and services that make it far easier and more manageable to organize a mailing list.
Often, things that get in the way of a streamlined workflow are basic but recurring tasks that can take up a lot of time. In turn, this prevents more substantial work from completion in a timely manner.
Many of these "small road bumps" you might encounter can often be dealt with using modern digital tools and services. Taking advantage of these tools and services to automate these tasks is usually worth any investment. Remember, time is money.
Batching

According to Cal Newport, author of the highly popular and influential productivity-focused book, “Deep Work,” the way in which the modern professional landscape introduces regular small scale distractions and interruptions so often can end up being a major source of lost productivity. Reduced wellbeing, as well.
According to Newport, focusing on one thing at a time and being able to get into a state of "deep work" is the best way of getting tasks done in a timely manner, while simultaneously doing your highest quality work.
Avoiding distractions and working on similar tasks in "batches" offers you momentum. The result will be already generated energy in one domain, and then to extend it and use it to streamline your overall workflow.
Systemize

A big part of a streamlined workflow is simply being able to move on seamlessly from one task to the next without spending a lot of time pausing, assessing, and then considering what it actually is that you should be working on next.
Using a good task management system that helps you to clearly identify your most important next actions should skyrocket your productivity. The framework will allow you to flow much more seamlessly from one job to the next, and can also relieve a significant amount of frustration from your day.
David Allen's famous “Getting Things Done” system is one approach where a significant emphasis is placed on identifying next actions.

- A workflow app
- A workflow software
