How do I make myself efficient working from home
As most of the internet marketer works from home, it is easy to get distracted and become less efficient.
This is a simple method I do to become more efficient.
1. I will list down 5 tasks that I need to do the night before/ in the morning.
Five tasks are those that will bring real value to my business, task like replying email, reading mails are not inclusive. Do things that will create and help business, such as write article, blog posting, creating website, driving traffic, compiling email for your subscriber...)
2. Put a time that you will need to do each of this task.
Say article writing for 1 hour. Blogging for 1 hour and so on...
(Note: If you have less time in a day to do this, you will need to find ways to get things done faster, 5 tasks are pretty minimal)
3. Track your time doing each of the task.
If you plan for an hour to write article, then make sure you finish off your article in an hour. If you are not done, finish up your task and record down the exact time needed. Then only move on to next task. Record down the exact time you use to complete each of the task.
Note 1 to 3: Do this for first week. You will have a list of task and time you required for each task.
On the second week, repeat Step 1. But this time, you can plan your time wisely with the five tasks as you already know how much time you need.
For step 2: When you plan the time to complete your task, make sure you complete within the time, no more excuse to not able to complete. If you are not complete, you will need to wrap things up and move on to the next task.
Repeat these steps daily. When you are doing this more and more, you will realize you are better in estimating your own time and you will be surprise the amount of work that you an get done.
