Cheap Ways to Manage Time

Are you an internet marketer? If so, it is likely that you  spend much time on the computer every day. Unfortunately, the computer and the internet makes distraction all too easy. For example, research on marketing forums for new ideas is ideal, but not if it leads to our spending hours in personal conversations with other members or simply following interesting but irrelevant trains of thought.

Time management is important if you are to be a successful internet marketer. Many people who are new to internet marketing business assume that time management is difficult or costly. It can be so, but there are easy and affordable approaches which can be taken. Some inexpensive ways to manage your time are shown below.

1 – Create a To Do List

A to-do list is a very cheap time management tool, as all that is necessary is a pen and a piece of paper. Alternatively the list can be complied in Microsoft Word, a spreadsheet or a text editor. Each morning or at the end of the day, create a to-do list for yourself. List the tasks to be completed throughout the day. For example, if you need to set up a series of emails or to approach webmasters for banner exchanges or research website page ranks to find the best advertising deals?

When creating your daily to-do list, go into a certain amount of detail. For example, step number one could be to approach five webmasters for link exchanges. Once a task has been completed, delete it from the list.

A to-do list will give you a set guide to follow and will help promote motivation.

2 – Create a Schedule

Cross tasks from the list as they are complete can serve as a source of motivation., A schedule should specify a specific time frame for you to complete a task.

For example to submit articles to directories you paid an outsourced writer to write, set aside a specific block of time for doing so. Submit the articles between 9 and 10 am. Keep an eye on the clock, to determine if you are starting to fall behind and if so you can pick-up the pace.

3 – Use a Desktop Calendar

The use of a detailed schedule or to-do list is ideal for internet marketers with serious time management problems. If you are good at time management or staying on task, a more lax approach may be appropriate. One of those approaches is to use a desktop calendar.

Desktop calendars enable you to write various tasks on a daily slot, but without great detail. Each time you complete a task, cross it from your calendar.

Desktop calendars are easily available and there are different types available for use on a PC, tablet or even a Smart Phone.

4 – Use an Alarm Clock

  6. First off I would like to say superb blog! I had a quick question which I’d like to ask if you do not mind.

    I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your thoughts
    before writing. I’ve had a difficult time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out.
    I truly do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to
    15 minutes tend to be wasted just trying to figure out how to
    begin. Any suggestions or tips? Kudos!
    You stated that well.

    Thanks a lot, Ample posts!

    You expressed it wonderfully!
    How long do I have to use this product before I see results?

    Remember, it’s critical to give Lean Belly 3X an honest chance to work by
    taking it as recommended for at least 60 days. Like all Beyond 40 products,
    Lean Belly 3X is made with the highest quality ingredients,
    but no product will work miracles overnight.

    I’ve been using WordPress on a variety of websites for about a year and am
    nervous about switching to another platform. I have
    heard excellent things about blogengine.net.
