True Productivity in Business & Life
Chapter 1: The Basics
Synopsis
Running business online calls for the entrepreneur to be an effective manager of their time, enabling them to grapple several projects or businesses at one time, and, being able to manage them all in an efficient fashion.
The Basics
Let’s suppose you planned to be at your PC, working at a project, at 10 a.m. on a Monday morning, but you’re not. How come? The answer may be one or more of the accompanying.
The Enemies
Woke up late.
Scrapped with your lover last night, and continue reliving the quarrel in your brain.
Are too sapped – the coffee hasn’t set in yet.
Are overly hyper – drank too much coffee and can’t sit motionless.
Are disquieted by the weather – it’s amazing out and you’d love to take a walk or bike ride.
Are disquieted by the weather – it’s atrocious and depressing.
Got a telephone call (or e-mail or instant message) from a friend, who's depressed (though not in crisis) and asked to talk.
Got a telephone call from a friend (or e-mail or instant message) that’s happy and wished to share great news.
Are reading the paper – every last word of it.
Are net surfing or net shopping.
Are playing Solitaire.
Simply realized that it's highly crucial to work on another project.
Or, if you work in a home office:
Switched on the television set for “a minute” and saw that one of your favorite actors was being interviewed, so you decide to view the interview.
Simply realized that the laundry urgently needs to get done!
These are common things that may throw you off your course. It’s only a partial list; naturally, you may likely add many other entries to it. There are likely 100s of potential “bumps” that may knock you off your course.
One crucial thing to point out is that, while a few of these bumps appear “good” or “worthwhile” (like commiserating with your unhappy acquaintance or doing the laundry), and some seem “foul” or “frivolous” (like playing Solitaire), they're all equally unacceptable from the viewpoint of beating your procrastination habit.
You'll need to learn to resist the urge to get absorbed into activities not on your schedule, regardless how crucial or virtuous they appear at the moment. The one exception, naturally, is emergencies, by which I mean actions that can’t be put off without significant harm to yourself or other people. However even with an emergency, after you’ve handled it, ask yourself whether it may have been prevented by finer planning, or whether somebody else could have handled it. If you’ve got a challenging goal, it's really crucial to learn to minimize the number of preventable emergencies in your life, and to learn to delegate as much as conceivable.
If it appears like I’m taking a hard line, I am. I have to, as procrastinators are frequently adept at rationalizing their diversions. Obviously, if somebody is ill or otherwise incapacitated, we ought to help them, but to what degree? It’s not always clear, and a lot of procrastinators misjudge, sacrificing too much of their own time to assist other people, even when those other people aren’t particularly needy or when somebody else is available to help. This issue may be hard to identify, much less solve, as the (deservedly) good feeling one gets from assisting frequently offsets the guilt that the procrastination commonly spawns.
The net entrepreneur can't enjoy any of their business success if they're dropping off customers, running out of time - not being able to bill their customers for that time, or unable to complete their projects.
Being able to successfully handle projects is among the key indicators of a home business enterpriser who manages their time well. Do they manage by crises or by intent? Is it part of their goal to go either slowly or quickly in project management, aiming toward a wanted result?
The affect that this may have on the work from home entrepreneur impacts any potential succeeding business and may likewise taint their net reputation. All of this is tied into suitable and effective time management! Is there an answer for this hurdle?
Time = Management
Managing time effectively is maybe the number 1 goal of most every work at home enterpriser on their quest for success. Without having effective time management, their net businesses suffer despairingly.
Making originative utilization of their time is the goal of most every work at home enterpriser who wishes to be successful in their home businesses. Effective time management will let the work at home entrepreneur be able to achieve more with their time and have fulfilled buyers and a well-fixed business.
Effective time management calls for a determined range of skills, strategies and tools and helps the net entrepreneur use them in order to achieve particular tasks, projects and goals. Without the strategic utilization of their time, they're basically wasting their time and unable to complete crucial business goals.
