A How To For Time Management

By Adrienne Johnson | March 18, 2009

Starting out in network marketing can wreak havoc on your life. It effects every aspect of your home, family and career. When I signed up for my business I wanted to go gun-ho, only to realize I was working at getting nothing done. That’s when I decided something had to change. I started implementing time management.

Their are several different tools you can implement to help you manage time more efficiently. It really depends on your level of self-control. Experiment with them and decide what works best for your situation.

Here are some basics I followed:

Prioritize your duties. What needs to be done first, what can wait? My babies diapers need to be changed first. I put off working until they are sleeping, thus they are always my first priority. Once they are down, I prioritize what business needs are a necessity.

Sometimes I get distracted, so I have someway of reminding myself of what needs to be done. Personally, I make a list. Top five things I must accomplish for my business during my work time. If it does not involve the phone, I turn it off. I put some calming music on to help me focus and let the creative juices flow.

A routine list. Sometimes the hardest part about getting into a routine is remembering. Make a list of tasks you need to do every day: check voicemail, send out emails, make follow-up calls. Write it down on a post-it and put it where you will see it every day.

Make sure you break up your time. Not only does this prevent burnout but it also help you stay on task. If you are focusing your time for 30 minutes or less on each project you are more likely to get it done faster and without distractions.

Make a schedule that you can stick to. Have a time for every task you need to get done. This will keep you from procrastinating or running late. Set a timer if that helps and get it done. The more you get done now, the more time you can play later!

Implement some of these tools and I guarantee you will be working your business with a clear head.
