business can be very demanding. Your time is priceless. When your time
is mismanaged or out of control then you are out of control.
As we all know, running an internet marketing business can pull you in
several different directions. From managing your advertising, your
autoresponder, your downline, your existing customers, enhancing your
online education, managing your back office, running your business in
general, your time is divided. Do you find yourself going in several
different directions at the spur of the moment? Do you sometimes feel
overwhelmed? If so, relax. That's normal. We all do at sometime or
another. Try these simple 4 tips to put you back in control of your
time.
1. Block out times during the day for certain tasks. What works well
for me is when I block out certain time periods during the day to
achieve certain tasks. When I do this I become focused on that task
and only that task. It's kinda like scheduling an exam before your
start studying. You know you have got to get it done because the
deadline is approaching. For example, from 8 -9am, write a blog post;
10-10:30am, run your ads; 1-1:30pm, communicate with your downline;
etc. You get the picture. Just make sure you leave time for your loved
ones and family. If you have kids, make sure you block out their time.
2. Use a calendar. I use a day calendar and write my 'to be done's'
down on the calendar and place the calendar on my desk or work area so
it's visible at all times. The old saying 'outta sight outta mind'
holds true in the internet marketing world. Time flies by. Keep your
blocked out times on a calendar in eye sight during the day. A daily
hour by hour calendar with specific times works well also. I simply
prefer the day calendar because I like to visualize a month at a time.
3. Keep your work area organized. Have you ever been to someone else's
house or office and it looks like a tornado just hit it? I know I
have. My first thought when I see this is, "I wonder if there mind is
that cluttered as well?" That's just me. I have to keep my work area
simple, organized and clean. When I do this everything seems to flow
smoother and easier and relieves any anxiety. Having a cluttered work
area, even though you may know exactly where everything is, creates
tension.
4. Exercise. Do you neglect your exercise? We all do to some extent.
An internet marketing business will steal all your time and rob your
health if not managed properly. Get away and take a walk, workout, any
type of exercise. The experts say that endorphins will be released
that will replenish your brain and your body. I'm not quite sure what
an endorphin is, but it works for me. After exercising I am refreshed
and have a different outlook on my business.
If you don't manage your time, it will manage you. Try these simple 4
tips and improve your time management in your internet marketing
business.
