I think I just made myself way too busier ...

You need to learn time management, create a plan to work out. After each hour look back and see what you have done, analyze your work and see how much productive you have been in the last one hour of time.

Here's what I do.

At the end of a day I spend five minutes deciding 2 things.

What five things MUST I do tomorrow?
What other things would it be good to get done Tomorrow?

I then list these on Notepad (Honestly - Its a terrific program with no distractions).

The next day I do the five MUST items. I do them before I do anything else like read email/surfing/visit forums.

You will be amazed how productive you become by planning your work.

Out of the two options you listed I'd go with the second one personally. By focusing on one task a day (link building, content creation, etc.) you are able to keep you mind focused on that specific task instead of having to switch gears for different tasks.

Also get a day planner. I have one that I used to write down all the tasks I want to accomplish in a day and cross them off as I go. If you really want to get into hardcore time management you can do that but also assign specific times to each task.

Hi,

As you are managing 7 sites, it might get very hectic to keep track of what to do with which website. You can use a small project plan for your websites which will keep track of your time, activities, interests and funds.

Ground rules:

0) Think of a Website as a Project you are handling. It helps you in keeping the concentration on ONE thing, rather than thinking about all of them at once.

1) Create a document for each website you own. Maintain the current status, budget, profits, etc. (this depend on what your website really does). This may seem a bit of hardwork that you have to do, but it helps you all the information you need at one place, and to decide priority of tasks.

2) Plan for a Roadmap for each project. Some projects will require more attention than the others as of now. A roadmap can help you plan for what you actually want from your websites. If you compare it with point 1, you will get the result of what you are really getting. You should be able to see the progress of your business from something other than paychecks

3) For every project there should be a separate plan. Like an example you gave

The approach needs to be planned by you. You may want to concentrate on the project which is giving less profit to you, or is on a weaker state than others. The stronger ones can wait for 3-4 days while you concentrate on the weak ones.

4) Don't think too many things at once. Take one project at one time, one task a time, and think about it. Ask these questions - When, Why, How to every task. This can help you in prioritizing the tasks.



I hope it helps you in some way.

Good Luck.

Yep, i also have this problems where im on sports sites, social networks and etc, I need to focus!

Keeping it simple is what I am about. Even if that is relating to my products, my
schedule or my ideas. If I can find a way to manage my day (using an easy program
such as Notepad) to write down some of the stuff that I am trying to get done for
that day, that's excellent! Find what works for you and start experimenting with new
ways that you can manage your online workload.

It might be tough for you to give up control, but you could also sub this work out to other people. They could take on these duties in return for something from you, such as you taking on their product as an affiliate marketer.

What I would do if you don't want to give up control is focus on one thing at a time. Write down what needs doing and do it one by one but don't leave a task until it is complete and you should be fine.
