We tend not to value our time which it fact, one of the most valuable factor in our existence. We can earn the money we have lost and we can regain our energy with rest and plenty of foods. We can find new friends and lover but we can't take back the time we spent for nothing. I have came to my mind that it was indeed a very spilled milk and an opportunity lost for me that I have taken for granted the courses I took in college. I felt that the knowledge I've gain was not that enough or did not compensated the sacrifices my parents and I've done. I can't take back the time anymore. I'm just remorseful of it this time. If only I have thought it and took it seriously that time.

I use googles diary app which I think syncs with stuff like iphones.

The hardest part is actually doing the things you want to do. Sure you may say you want to schedule a certain block of time, and dedicate it to doing a certain task, but the hardest part comes in actually doing that task. See... for myself that is what I struggle with... I can make one of the greatest time schedules, and plan out the things I want to do, but ultimately procrastination sets in, and I never wind up doing the tasks I want to do. Just my take on it. http://www.carbatterystarter.com For myself, managing time is not the hard part, I think it is easy for someone to be able to manage and schedule their time.

It's way too easy to get side tracked and start following rabbit trails. I waste too much time following links that I really don't need to. Checking email and affiliate accounts can also waste a lot of time. I find that I need to shut down email and only check it a few times during the day. Like others here, I try to set apart blocks of time to complete certain tasks. It's important that those tasks are related to doing something that will enhance my business.

Great article

I think the internet marketer or people trying to make a living online is very similar to the entrepenure..

you see entrepenures and internet marketers have the mindset of sowing and then reaping the harvest later, who ever heard of sowing a seed and harvesting straight away..there no such things…however for encouragement dont give up if you dont see hundreds of dollors for your adventure straight away just be patient and perserve and take action.

Hayley the system presented by you seems pretty good, the only thing left is to correctly classify our tasks..and this in my opinion comes with experience.

This was supposed to help but actually means we are distracted or interupted far more often. If I need to get something done I tend to switch the emails and cell phone and that really helps. You are spot on focusing on the money tasks. Too many people focus on the none profit making tasks. And remember you can't do everything! http://www.eurodebt.com/ Time management has become more difficult because of tecnology.

Any system creating a prioritized to-do list is good. It's a matter of personal preference which one to use. Yours looks great. I think you should set it up every day though. Once you're used to that, it's just a matter of adding and deleting items, which can be done in minutes. They are well spend, as they provide you the focus for the rest of the day! :-) Hi Hayley

Basically you split your to do list into 4 columns 1. not important/not urgent - delegate or bin it 2. not important/urgent - delegate it 3. important/not urgent - complete these items second 4. important/urgent - complete these items first columns 1 and 4 should only be dealt with once. columns 3 and 4 are your income producing activity. What do you think? I wouldn't spend my "precious" time setting up my to do list like this everyday but I think having important and urgent in mind helps. Oh and the idea to deal with the unimportant things once is good too! I was on a Webinar recently and discovered a way to prioritize the work that needs to be done.
