Chapter 20 – Time Management
Those thinking of working from home online should invest in a book or a seminar about time management skills. Just because you are working from home is no reason to begin slacking off during the day and becoming idle. If you continue to do this, you will not make any money and your online business will not be successful. Time management skills will help you make the best use of your time. Time management skills are often used to train individuals who work on their home so that they are more productive.
Working from home online can be a wonderful way to earn a living but it not without pitfalls. One of the major pitfalls is that most people, particularly those who are used to working for other people in an office environment, are unable to manage their time in an effective manner. The first week that they are working from home online they get sidetracked by dozens of different things and end up wasting a lot of time. Time that they should spend working. By learning basic time management skills, a person who works from home online can better manage their day and become more productive in their at home business.
Time management skills involve making each moment count. If you can get someone else to do something for you, have them do it. This can be as simple as paying a neighbor a few bucks to drive your child to school instead of driving him or her yourself each day. If your neighbor is going to the school anyway, it makes more sense for you to allow them to pick up your child so that you can spend that time working. Even if the school is 5 minutes away, chances are that by the time you get out to your car, pick your child up and come home, 20 minutes have passed. That ads up to 40 minutes per day and four hours a week. You can do a lot more with four hours a week than go back and forth to the school.
One of the basic principals of time management skills is teaching individuals who work on their own that their time is valuable. Many people do not put a proper value on their time, yet, when you ask people if they would rather have more time or money, in most cases it is a toss up. We tend to overextend ourselves with many different activities and many of them are time wasting.
In order to be an effective time manager, you have to first realize that any time you spend has worth. Particularly now that you are working for yourself. It is important for anyone who wants to work from home online to understand and follow basic time management skills in order to be successful in their pursuits.
