Stay Organized

Hi
I was wondering how you all get on when faced with this scenario:
You've got some ideas or goals you want to achieve. You start working on say three or four, trying to juggle them properly. Before you realise it you've dropped the ball on one of them or all. And you're wondering how it all happened.
How do you deal with it?

    just think all over again i guess? just keep striving, people who succeed didn't reach their goal right away, Yes,you've got some bumps along the way but just keep moving

    It's easy to get overwhelmed if you juggle too many projects. Start with the one that's going to have the greatest impact FIRST, then fill in with the others. 80% of your success comes from 20% of your efforts, so focus on the activities that are going to bring the greatest results.

      Hey there-

      When I first started working from home, instead of diving right in and doing it all right away I sat down with my mentor and made a schedule of what I would do when.

      Now, anytime I start to add another stream of income into my life I do the same thing.

      I would strongly recommend making a schedule for what you plan to do and when. I make a rough schedule for a month in advance. All but 2 days of the week I have something planned as well as the amount of time I am going to spend on that project.

      This pushes me to stay motivated, and concentrate. It also gives me a set amount of time per day to work on work so that I dont wind up spending 12 hours in front of my computer doing 2 things when I had 7 things to do that day.

      When it comes to something that involves "live" people (as in talking on the phone or via IM) I email them in advance or give them a ring really quick and schedule 15 minutes or so of their time. Depending on how much time will be needed.

      If it's someone new to my downline I may schedule 30 or 45 mins. If it's a lead maybe 15 minutes or so. This is mostly a courtesy to them but I also find that it's a great way to show them that my time is valuable and that (of course I want to make money) I don't need THEIR money to do it.

      If you'd like a few more tips you can check out the article I wrote 6 Tips to Get More Out Of Your Day, that is on my blog. Just follow my link. (I would post it but I'm still new here.) I promise it is relevant. There are some really great tips in there that I think would work for you.

      Hope this helps. Remember, just breathe.

      Liz
