7 Steps to Managing Your Time Better
Copyright 2005 Jason Tarasi
The internet is one of those things in life that borders on the
verge of a good versus evil battle. It can be the greatest money
making tool in existence, or the most malicious time waster.
When people venture into the business of internet marketing,
they often think it's going to be a piece of cake. Most people
who decide upon internet marketing as a business venture love
the internet to begin with and want to unleash its evident power
to their advantage.
Sometimes these web lovers are sorely disappointed because it
seems that they work for hours upon hours and don't get anything
accomplished. That, my friends, is the nature of the beast!
If you intend to do business on the internet, you absolutely
have to be disciplined in order to manage your time. Here are 7
steps to doing a better job of it:
1. Set work hours
It is so easy to waste time when you should be working and to
end up working unreasonable hours. Internet work can seemly turn
into an addiction overnight if you don't set specific work hours
and stick with them.
2. Schedule play hours
Don't spend your work hours playing - surfing the net, visiting
internet forums or participating in chat rooms. Set aside
leisure time for such activities if you are prone to them.
3. Schedule communications
Set specific times during your work hours to open email. This
should usually be the first thing and the last thing you do each
work day. If you open your email periodically and respond to it,
your work hours can be eaten up in a hurry! Turn off
any
indicators that tell you you've got new email.
4. Block the SPAM
Use a SPAM blocker to isolate or block SPAM email and keep it up
to date. Use a separate email address for your business and
personal email. Open personal email during your leisure time and
business email during your scheduled communication time within
your work hours.
5. Make a long-term plan
Make a long-term plan of what you wish to accomplish through
your internet marketing. Having a vision with milestones and
deadlines will keep you focused and working purposefully day
after day.
6. Plan your days
Plan your days ahead of time with a "to do" list that ensures
important things will get accomplished. Always plan a little
time for unexpected interruptions or demanding little
emergencies.
7. Kill the messenger
If you use messenger programs such as MSN Messenger or Yahoo
Messenger, log out during your work hours. If you conduct
business communications through the messenger program, open
separate accounts or block contacts so that only your business
associates that you need to be available to can contact you via
the messenger program during your work hours.
Implementing these 7 simple tips will help you to master your
time and will skyrocket your productivity!
