1. Set work hours
It’s so easy to waste time when you should be working and to finish working unreasonable hours. Internet work can seemly turn into an addiction overnight if you don’t set specific work hours and follow them.
2. Schedule play hours
Don’t spend your work hours playing – surfing the net, visiting internet forums or participating in chatrooms. Set aside leisure time for such activities if you’re prone to them.
3. Schedule communications
Set specific times during your work hours to open email. This should usually be the first thing and the last thing you do each workday. If you open your email periodically and respond to that, your work hours can be eaten up in a hurry! Turn off any indicators that tell you you’ve got new email.
4. Block the SPAM
Use a SPAM blocker to isolate or block SPAM email and keep it up to date. Use a separate email address for your business and personal email. Open personal email during your leisure time and business email during your scheduled communication time within your work hours.
5. Make a long-term plan
Make a long-term plan of what you wish to accomplish through your internet marketing. Having a vision with milestones and deadlines will keep you focused and working purposefully day after day.
6. Plan your days
Plan your days ahead of time with a “to do” list that ensures important things will get accomplished. Always plan a little time for unexpected interruptions or demanding little emergencies.
7. Kill the messenger
If you use messenger programs such as MSN Messenger or Yahoo Messenger, log out during your work hours. If you conduct business communications through the messenger program, open separate accounts or block contacts so that only your business associates that you need to be available to can contact you via the messenger program during your work hours.
Implementing these 7 simple tips will help you to master your time and will rocket your productivity!
