One of my main problems....

[Elljay]

is organisation!!! How do you all priorotise your work load. I am currently working 9 - half 5 (plus the commute) and have a two year old to chase after (love it tho). I am just so unorganised, do you all have certain things you do on certain days, how do you all stay on top of things?

Thanks

Hi Jacqui,

When I first started out I was working full time with 3 kids

What I tried to do was keep something by my bedside and as my brain wound down from the busy day, I would make notes of what I needed to accomplish the next day.....business and personal...

Hope this helps..

I cannot get by without a daily "To Do" list. Honestly there are days that I do not manage to accomplish everything and that's okay. I focus first on the most important tasks so that they get done and the lesser important tasks if they do not get done I transfer to the next day. If I have a day where I accomplish one major task then I consider it a successful day.

Hope this helps.

Hi Elljay, You just have to prioritize your time. I have a set time everyday that I just get to my computer shut the door and get to work.You need to write down everything that is important for your business whether it be blogging or article marketing and just do it every day.Don't worry if you don't get it all done in one day, there's always tommorrow.Dianne

Hi Jacqui,

I know how you feel. I work full time, have a wife and two adult children plus one 18 month old lively grandson at home. I shut the study door as soon as I get home and devote as much time as possible to my website.
I have a To-Do list but not everything on it gets done.
I have basically given up T.V. except for "House" ( i have been a Hugh Laurie fan since his days on British T.V.)

Good Luck,
Dave

Hi Jacqui,

I also face same problem with you. After I started 30 days training, it was OK for me. After finished it, I lost control my self. Then I get an idea to start my daily list, everything is organize again. But last 2 week it was started again. Because of my day job need a lot of concentration, I forget to make a list. Thanks to Jeff, athena08, Davebiz and landon because of their post, remind me again about making a list. Now I'm back on the track.

Hi Jacqui,
I'm the same with you. After spending 9 hours at work then I have to help my son 8th yrs old daily homework until 10pm, sometime up to 11pm because more homework on that day. I could not do anything after helping him and I have to be ready for next working day again. I also make a list with more things to do and try to follow but sometime I'm out of track again specially holidays season then I left more and more behind. So I told my self I will do one thing everyday and just one thing only until I finish then will do the next.
Hope this will help.

Hi Jacqui

I'll say this I'm in your boat. My wife works late and I work for a hospital as a iv technician 7 off 7 on graveyard. I have made red bull my best friend. So I don't look at everything all at once i have a set schedule when working on my biz. Usually from 8am to 10 am work weeks and 10-3 on off week,5 days a week. And i have a check off list i go by to make sure i stay on task. And i too will know what it is like with kids, my wife and are adopting soon.

Just try to take some notes on what to do first/important thing to do first and try to follow it. Although work is important don't forget to divide your time with your kid though.
