Traditional Time Management Is Not The Same as Online Time Management
Learning a way to manage your time is an answer to this problem. However, general information on time allocation in the bookstores will not help you. The reason is because general resource allocation books are not focussed on running an online business.

The simplest way to increase your home business income is increased productivity.
If you embrace the extreme productivity tactics outlined in today’s lesson, you will stack the deck in your favour and notice immediate benefit to your mental energy, your bottom line profit and your home business success.
This has nothing to do with time management, goal setting or visualisation. They are important but the fundamental principles that hyper productive top earners have mastered is self-organization.
If you are a home business owner, an online marketer, an entrepreneur, right now in today’s fast-paced information age, there is so much available media you can potentially consume. This is why managing yourself in that environment is critical to productivity.
Let’s get one thing out in the open first and foremost about what this article is NOT about.
This article is not about time management, goal setting or visualisation. Here’s why.
Firstly, time management is a waste of time – excuse the pun. You cannot manage time. You can only manage yourself in time. Time itself is fixed.
It’s what you do within the 24 hours you get every single day that makes the difference between someone who is highly productive and someone who is easily distracted.
Secondly, there is already a wealth of excellent information and training on the value of setting out goals and visualising your success. So I’m not even going to try going there right now.
Good. Now that’s sorted, let’s get into what this article IS about and that is managing yourself in time in relation to your goals and vision of success. If you can learn to do this, you can become hyper productive in working towards your personal and business objectives.
Achieving Life Work Balance
As a general principle that spans all five extreme productivity tactics, it is important to take care of yourself so you can give back to your life, family and your business. As they say on airplanes when the oxygen mask comes down, put your own mask on first.
If you spend a portion of time looking after yourself – your mental and physical energy- you will increase your focus and productivity many fold.
Too often we mix up our life and work, we get the balance completely wrong, or reversed.
When you’re working on your business, perhaps you have experienced feeling guilty about not spending time with your family or on hobbies that we know are important in our life.
And vice versa, when we’re with our family or doing our ‘thing’, we feel guilty we should be working and worrying about all the things that aren’t getting done in your business.
Extreme tactics for managing yourself in time
Hopefully, the tactics I’m going to outline here you will find the solutions to some of your current feelings of overwhelm, distractions and focus. It’s not a conspiracy on your time, it’s a prompt to you managing yourself in time.
If you embrace these and implement even one of them (at a time), you will notice the benefits to your sanity as well as your productivity.
And of course if you increase your work productivity in the right way, as I’ll explain, you will stack the deck in your favour and your home business income will grow and grow.
Right, let’s get started.
1. Scheduling your daily activities
In today’s climate of multiple social media, electronic devices and sources of information, multi-tasking isn’t necessarily a good thing! We try to be all things to all people in all places and juggle these things throughout the day. That’s a recipe for ending the day with little productivity to show for your time.
Identifying and doing the most profitable activities in the absence of distractions will result in you becoming highly focused and hyper productive in your home business. In order to do this effectively, you need to block out certain times in your day for different types of activity.
As a priority, you should try to identify what are the activities that earn you 80% of your income – that is, your income generating activity (IGA).
For home business owners, your IGA is normally (1) your marketing and (2) your follow up.
If you’re in a multi level marketing company, another source of income is the residual commissions from your team’s productivity, so you might add (3) team training & support (and managing that activity well is a whole other topic!).
So first tactic is this. Identify what times of the day you are at your most efficient, your most creative, your most relaxed, and schedule these income generating priority activities into that hyper productive part of your day.
And give your activities a start and a finish time. If you’re not done, learn from that for future planning but move onto your next scheduled activity.
2. Dealing with overwhelm
Overwhelm is a huge problem in today’s information age and it’s growing in intensity. How you view overwhelm and information coming at you will determine how you deal with it.
The tactic here is not to try to avoid overwhelm but to embrace it and manage it.
There is so much available media and you need to think of overwhelm as being a wealth of opportunity to learn and educate yourself. Better to be overwhelmed than under whelmed, right? Overwhelm always exceeds growth.
You need to (1) learn how to be selective about what you tap into to match what you are trying to achieve and (2) schedule a time to manage this kind of information.
As information comes at you, pick out what is primary and what is peripheral and note or file it for later. The primary information, books, training, webinars, podcasts etc. is information that will support your current priorities and current IGAs.
Schedule a bit of time in your day or your week, when you have a ‘developmental’ session and consume the primary information and journal the key things you get out of it or actions you will take, techniques you will implement, and so forth. (This is what I call my wisdom journal or success journal.)
This way you stay on top of information overload and select what you tap into rather than getting distracted and going off on a tangent. (If you time out to explore or research something proactively, make sure it’s scheduled not spontaneous.)
As soon as you commit to scheduling this activity and reflect on the results of your study, you can look back after a few weeks or 3 months and see what has the biggest impact and that you know you are getting on top of managing the information.
3. Managing the ‘noise’
One of the biggest time bandits in your business is not email or twitter or facebook. It’s actually your distractions. You need to disconnect from the ‘noise’ of the distractions from people and things that you allow into your world and your ‘work’ environment that stop you from being as productive as you need to be. Set up boundaries.
Rather than trying to manage all of these streams of communication throughout the day, instead, try to batch these tasks.
For example, I run a busy and successful online internet business and managing my emails and voice messages has made a tremendous difference to my focus and my productivity.
Instead of responding ‘on the hoof’ as calls or emails come in, or even first or last thing each day, I have started to move towards a schedule where I deal with messages and calls on Mondays and Thursdays only. I know I need to respond to calls and emails but I don’t have to do it everyday.
This frees up a big chunk of my time to spend on creative tasks like writing articles, making video trainings or on research, and income generating activities. By doing this, I can be free of distractions and concentrate solely, for several hours sometimes, on these hyper productive tasks.
Another example is that Wednesday evenings are blocked out for my own personal development. I carve out that time to be in a fresh focused and distraction free environment. My husband is out that night and my kids know that mom is busy.
4. Identifying effective working environments
This one is as important as the others. It’s about getting ‘in the zone’ for whatever task you are doing. Some people are hyper productive and can work in any environment: noisy/quiet, organised/cluttered, light/dark and so on. But for most of us, you know where you work best.
However, like your most productive times (above for your high leverage activities), your most productive environments are likely to vary depending on what you are doing. If you try to do all of your different activities in one environment, you tend to dilute your focus.
For example, the place in your home or elsewhere that you are (or are likely to be) your most creative for activities like copywriting or market research is probably not your home office where you might do your calls or emails.
Find your environment that brings out the best in you. Test it out, enjoy the process of finding your breakthrough zone. It doesn’t matter where you go to, is as long as it works for you and you can do your creative work, or your personal development, in a fresh and focused place free of distractions.
Have you heard people say their best ideas come to them when they are in the bath? This is shown to be because the brain is most creative when you are the most relaxed. So find an environment where you are the least anxious and the most relaxed so you can be your most creative. This is super conductor for being ‘in the zone’ and this is when you’ll be your most productive.
5. Placing a value on your time
Work out what is your actual dollar value on your time. Principle learned from Dan Kennedy. The example is to work out what your hourly value is in your home business.
You know what you made in the previous calendar year and what you want or expect to make this calendar year – your income goal.
Do the calculation for yourself and you will never look at each hour of your day in the same way again!
OK, so say your income goal is 0,000 in next calendar year.
Set down 250 workdays per year, 8 hours per day as a standard workday, taking account of weekends and family time or other commitments. This gives you 2000 hours of work per year.
Simple maths 0,000 divided by 2000 hours gives you 0 per hour.
BUT. Research has proved that even with top business achievers, the Donald Trump’s of this world, only one-third of your workday is revenue-producing time.
So in reality, your time is actually worth around 0 per hour, almost three times what you thought you were worth.
This makes you look at your time a whole lot differently! All those distractions and urgent but not important tasks that waste an hour here and 30 minutes there, will cost you in income to your home business.
Getting rid of the time bandits is not you being rude or mean, it means you are disciplined and focused.
In taking this approach, it is the end result that makes the profit, nothing else matters. If you can actually see that ordinary people are getting extraordinary income from an online business, it makes sense to explore something like this a lot more seriously.

Excellent Time Management Articles – How To Find Them Online
The most common and most important thing that binds people in this wide oval world with one another regardless of their country of origin, age, gender, social and economic status or political backgrougnd is the need to manage time in the right and most beneficial way and to also be able to generate maximum value of the time spent . Time management is the most common major concern for everyone; especially when even the wealthiest cannot buy it no matter how much money or power they use. Lot of people in earlier days had this misconception that they would control time but ended up in vain as it’s one of the many factors which are not under human control.
Presently we all live in an Internet age, due to this people are stuck to their computers to obtain all sorts of information. It will not be surprising to find how best to manage time articles are being searched on all major search engines. Indeed, management of time has become a major and a global issue and not finding any information about it is impossible.
Internet is loaded with articles on time management which are not only written by professionals and agencies which deal and cope with time management programs but have also been written by people who in their lives at some point of time have experienced and learnt to handle time. Nothing can be better in learning about strategies of time management than the articles that speak in volumes about another person’s real life experience.
Articles of time management still exist in books and magazines and will always continue to be a valuable aid. However, since almost all of us are online these days, time management writers should take the responsibility of writing, real, comprehensive and noteworthy information regarding time management.
One fact most commonly pointed out by almost all the articles these days is that time is something one cannot control, we can only try to utilize it in the best possible manner by making best use of it and also enjoy it at the same time. Without our interference or intervention, time will keep moving on and on, whether we’re able to cope with it or not.
Most articles say that there are many ways to manage time. But no single method can be employed to manage time to achieve maximum benefit as it depends from person to person and how they evaluated the benefit they would derive by adopting a certain approach for managing time. Each attempt at managing time and going through the experience is unique.
Search on the Google search engine or Yahoo search engine flash lots of articles that deal with time management and you just only have to refer them to see what you trying to find. On any condition don’t get carried away with the search, as you may find so many results that you may feel overwhelmed and which may again leave you stressed out. Take things easy, internet will not go anywhere and will always be there to fulfill your article needs, so you don’t have to be in a great rush and take prints of all the possible articles available.
In case you want more specific, easy to understand and technical time management articles, look for Web sites where professionals are there to solve your concerns. Don’t waste your time elsewhere and beside, you’ll have most of the information that you need at one place. This way, you are saved from clicking on many websites unnecessarly and may end up with information that is basically found in most of the other articles. Time wasting is one of the most identified stressors around.
In all, how you search through the net and how much information about management of time is needed. Remember, when you start your search, everything you find on the Net is not 100 % reliable and accurate. Therefore, if you want the best information to help yourself in a better way, go for the professional Web sites only, don’t spend time with the wrong people who would not be able to help you in anyway.
