How To Manage Your Time
By Adrienne Johnson | March 28th, 2009Starting out in network marketing can wreak havoc on your life. It effects every aspect of your home, family and career. When I signed up for my business I wanted to go gun-ho, only to realize I was working at getting nothing done. That’s when I decided something had to change. I started implementing time management.
Their are several different tools you can implement to help you manage time more efficiently. It really depends on your level of self-control. Experiment with them and decide what works best for your situation.
Techniques will vary but here are some basics:
Prioritize your duties. What needs to be done first, what can wait? My babies diapers need to be changed first. I put off working until they are sleeping, thus they are always my first priority. Once they are down, I prioritize what business needs are a necessity.
Sometimes I get distracted, so I have someway of reminding myself of what needs to be done. Personally, I make a list. Top five things I must accomplish for my business during my work time. If it does not involve the phone, I turn it off. I put some calming music on to help me focus and let the creative juices flow.
Some of the things that I need to do routinely, I write down on a post-it. I put this reminder up where I can see it first thing in the morning. You might put this routine list up on your computer or on your bathroom mirror.
Make sure you break up your time. Not only does this prevent burnout but it also help you stay on task. If you are focusing your time for 30 minutes or less on each project you are more likely to get it done faster and without distractions.
Allot certain times for all your tasks and STICK WITH IT! Do not get distracted (unless it’s your children), do not dally and set your timer. The faster you get your work done, the more time you have to play!
Start using these tools now so you can make the most of your time.
