Reorganize Your Time To Accommodate Your 2006 Business Start Up
Almost everyone wants or needs more money coming in (especially
now!), and with this desire most would like to start some sort
of extra income-producing project. It's a big step to give up
the trudge to the "day-job" and not all of you can afford to
jack it all in and start your home-based business idea.
The only alternative is to start your home business whilst
keeping your current job. The trouble is, not many people can
fit "a second job" into their time schedules.
It's true that most people are busy, but extra time for some
sort of home-based extra income-producing project can almost
always be found. It may mean giving up or changing a few of your
favourite pastimes - such as having a couple of beers with the
guys or watching TV - but if you score big with your extra
income project, you will have all the time you want for doing
whatever you want to do.
The first thing to do is to sit down with pencil and paper and
list your daily schedule. What time do you wake up? Then
step-by-step, list everything you do each day. Most people will
find that they have about three hours each day that can be
utilized in a more constructive or efficient manner. As we've
noted above, you may have to give up the time you waste in your
local pub or a few television programs you watch, but it will be
worth it in the long run.
Efficient time management boils down to planning what you're
going to do, and then doing it without backtracking. Start by
making a list of the things you want to do tomorrow, each
evening before you go to bed. Schedule your trips to the store
or wherever to coincide with the other things you have to do,
and with your trips to or from work. Organize your trips to take
care of as many things as possible while you're out of the
house. Take stock of the time you spend standing around shooting
the breeze - especially the time you spend on the telephone -
and eliminate all that isn't necessary.
Whatever chores you have to do at home, set aside a specific
time to do them, and a specific amount of time to devote to
them. For instance, just one hour a day devoted to yard work
would probably make your property the envy of all your
neighbours. Don't try to do a week's work in one big flurry.
Whether it's painting your house, fixing leaky pipes, or mowing
your lawn and trimming your shrubs, do a part of it, or one
particular job each day, and you'll be amazed at your progress.
Take care of all your mail the day you receive it. Don't let
those bills and letters pile up on you. If you're unable to pay
a bill immediately, file it in a special place that's visible,
and note on the envelope the date you intend to pay it. Answer
your letters the same day you get them.
The important thing is to think of
time as your most valuable
asset, because it is. So organize! Decide what you have to do,
and what you want to do. From there, it's just a matter of
arranging priorities.
Once you start listing and planning what you want to do, and
then carry out your plans, you'll find plenty of "extra time"
for handling virtually any kind of home-based income-producing
project. People in general may not like routines or schedules,
but without some sort of plan as to what is supposed to be done,
the world would be mired in mass confusion
Laws, ordinances and regulations are for the purpose of guiding
people. We live according to an accepted plan or way of life,
and the better we can organize ourselves, the more productive
and happy we become.
The secret of all financially successful people is simply that
they are organized and do not waste time. Think about it. Review
your own activities, and then see if you can't find a couple of
extra hours in each day for more constructive accomplishments.
When you begin planning, and then when you really become
involved in an extra in come-producing endeavour, you should
work it exactly as you have organized your regular day-to-day
activities - on a time-efficient basis. Do what has to be done
immediately. Don't try to get done in an hour something that's
realistically going to take a week. Plan out on paper what you
have to do - what you want to do - and when you are going to do
it. Then get right on each project without procrastination.
Finally, and above all else, when you're organizing your time
and your business, be sure to set aside some time for
relaxation. Be sure to schedule time when you and your spouse
can be together. You must not involve yourself in anything to an
extent that you exclude other people - particularly your loved
ones - from your life.
Taking stock of the time you waste each day, and from there,
reorganizing your activities is what it's all about. It's a
matter of becoming more efficient in the use of your time. It's
really easy to do, and you will not only accomplish a lot more,
you will also find greater fulfilment in your life.
Here's to a successful new home-based business in 2006
