Internet Home Business Question,How Do I Start on My Time Management Journey?

Some one who owns an Internet Home Business emailed me that question last night. They had been to my web site, www.powertimemanagementsystems.com , and wanted to know what they could do to start to look at how they use their time and to make positive changes to how they operate their Internet Home Business. Okay, here are some suggestions.

  1. How you operate your Internet Home Business should be similar to how your computer works. You have an operating system for your computer, you need to have one for your Internet Home Business as well. I should point out that adopting a Time Management system for your business, you should also extend that same system for your personal  life as well. This is something that I do not emphasize as much as I should. There should not be this break between your personal life and how you function with your Internet Home Business. There should be a seamless connection between the two, one operating system for both sides of your life, business and personal.

  I call the Power Time Management System, www.powertimemanagementsystems.com, an operating system for the rest of your life. The question is, ” how do I start on my Time Management journey ? “, the first step is to look for and find a system that suits you and what you want to accomplish in life. Time Management is the bridge, the walkway that will get you from here, where you are now, to where you want to be. Part of the process, the first part of the process is to identify how you are going to get from here, to where you want to go. A long time ago, I came to the realization that to achieve the goals that I have set for myself, the way that I would be able to do that, would be to utilize my time to it’s absolute maximum, that means proper Time Management .

  I call it the Time Management filter for people who own an Internet Home Business. When you start to divvy up your time, and start to invest your time in doing certain tasks and jobs, start to look at your decisions through a Time Management filter, ask yourself. am I making the best use of my time, is doing this task, now, the best use of my time?

These questions only skim the surface, but they are a crucial first step in starting on getting control of your time, making the best investments with your time, and most importantly, you are  now actively looking at time in the right light. Time is a non renewable resource we have, we have only a finite amount of it, once it’s gone, that time, that chance to achieve something with it, is gone forever.

    2. Start thinking of your time as the most precious tool you have at your disposal to achieve the things you want in life. THAT is where your Time Management journey starts. You own an Internet Home Business, you are not happy with some aspect of your business, not enough sales, not enough profits, no traffic to your web page, it does not matter what the issue is, where is the first place you look for the solution? This is not a trick question, the answer is simple, at least for me it is, I first look at the decisions I am making with how I use my time and where that time is going.

  If I am not getting enough traffic to my web site, I am making faulty decisions about the issues pertaining to not getting enough traffic to my Internet Home Business. I have to work through those decisions and re think them, re tool, re evaluate, all of these are Time Management issues and decisions. Remember Time Management decides what you do, and when you do it, when you see it written down in front of you, that  emcompases a huge part of what you end up deciding  what you do with your time.

  Lastly, Time Management is the tool you use to open up the can of life !! That is the first time I have ever used that analogy, I have to think about it for  a while but it is not too bad. What do you think?  Have a great day, see you tomorrow.

My 60th Internet Home Business Post, Since Buying This Site in December

I own an Internet Home Business, several actually, and I am aware of the issues facing us. I use the word us because I hope that other Internet Home Business owners are reading these posts and getting some value from them. I know some people are reading this Blog, I get some comments on the Blog, more emails than posts. I have been dealing with Internet Home Business owners for many years, as I often say, I was dealing with them, before there were computers! This gives me an unique perspective on what issues and problems we, as Internet Home Business owners face.

 I will mention a few here, not so much as advice to you, but questions that I am in the process of working through for myself. I have answers for some of the questions, others I am still wading through, feel free to add your suggestions.

  1. Traffic, Traffic and more Traffic.

    This is the bain of my existence, I am sure this is a problem for you as well. Owning an Internet Home Business is great, it’s a nice start, but with no traffic, we might as well be operating in a black hole some where unless we get traffic. The lure of the Internet is intoxication, we hear about the millions, no, we hear about the billions of people on the Internet and we get all excited about the potential and we start to figure out if we get just a tiny tiny trickle of that traffic, look how successful we will be. However, we need to get at least some of that traffic to stop by our Internet Home Business if we want to survive.

  I have learned a lesson about traffic generating ideas that I want to warn you about. its in regards to article marketing. BEWARE, this is a scam of epic porportions. Beware of anyone who wants to make money off your labors, they promise you, an I quote ” massive traffic ” and in reality, you get nothing. There is an industry that has sprung up, preying on people who own an Internet Home Business, knowing we die without traffic, they prey on us like the scammers they are.

 The promise goes like this, submit articles to their company, they submit the articles to hundreds of free article sites, and then stand back and watch the flood of ” massive traffic “. the problem is, the ” massive traffic ” never comes, not even a trickle. You pay, month after month, they offer up excuses, you keep paying until the truth becomes clear to you, by then its too late for you. You’ve paid them hundreds of dollars, they have stolen your time, effort, resources, and they then move on to the next victim. The worse offender in this scam is a company called, Submit Your Article, they operate out of the UK. They are very slick, very slick, very persistent, but very dishonest.

  Their  particular angle is this, they promise ” massive traffic ” and when you email and say, where is the ” massive traffic’ they THEN start with the, it takes time, wait, be patient, very nice ladies email you with canned messages, asking for patience. At first they tell you to wait, 2 to 3 months, then the wait is moved to 5 to 6 months, and if you are desperate enough, they actuallytell you and have the nerve to say it, the wait for the ” massive traffic’ will be over a year. They are praticularily insediouse because they prey on people like us, people who own an Internet Home Business, the only way we can survive is to get traffic, we trust them and after months of no reults,we are left with nothing.

  I know the Internet is a dangerouse place to do business, this company is a prime example of the crooks and scammers that are out there. One last point about these people, at first, when you email and ask why the ” massive traffic ” is not coming, they email you back right away, saying just be patient. After about the 6 th month mark, when its clear the gig is up, they just stop emailing mailing you, why bother, you know you have been scammed, they have your money and you have no traffic.  This was a rant, but a rant that I hope will save you some money, and some of your valuable time, here are some more ways to save time, www.powertimemanagementsystems.com      Have a great day, see you tomorrow.

Ensure Commitments are Realistic, Goal Setting for Internet Home Business Owners

If you operate an Internet Home Business, setting goals and achieving them hinges on making sure that the commitments you need to make to achieve them are realistic, within your capabilities to make good on them in the end. Setting the goal is one thing, deciding IF the goal is obtainable is a big part of the process. You do this by fleshing out the steps it will take to make that goal happen. As an example, you want to build  a new web site for your Internet Home Business, the one you have is not doing the job. Now. lets see if the requirements to accomplish that goal are within your means to deliver.

 You need to now decide what it will take to get a new web site built, the costs, the time, the resources. These are the requirements, the commitment that will be needed to get this particular goal accomplished. Along this process. of fleshing out this goal, you need to be able to check off all of the factors BEFORE you actually start working on it. If one of the commitments is missing, you need to re evaluate the whole goal. If 80% of the commitments can be met, but not the last 20%, you need to re work or re think the whole goal. Think twice, act once will save you the wasted time and effort that chasing a goal that is not obtainable.

  If you own an Internet Home Business, there is always more things we want to do, than we have time and resources to support. We need to be sure that what ever time, money and effort we have, is spent where it will do us the most good. This is what properly utilizing our time is all about, for more details, www.powertimemanagementsystems.com. Checking to see if what it will take to make your goals happen is just an extension of the carpenters advice, measure twice, cut once. The same applies to those of us who own an Internet Home Business, walk through the process of acheiving your goals, make sure what you want to do is withing your grasp, before you spend time, money and resources and THEN finding out, half way thought, that something is missing.

  The real value in doing a dry run on setting your goals is this, you invest a small amount of time , up front, and if you find a missing ingredient in your goal setting commitment list, you can make the changes at the beginning of the process, where the cost to you is minimal. This is all about saving you, time, money and wasted effort. A simple rule of thumb, the sooner a mistake is found, the less it will have cost you.

Measuring twice, and then cutting once simply outlines that its better and more efficient to spend a little time in making sure everything is in place, than to think you are saving time in only doing a little planning, and then finding out, when it will really hurt you that you have made a mistake. It outlines the difference it makes to everyone, when we find out we tried to cut corners and how much those cut corners will really cost us.

  One thing I have not touched on is this, you need to add establishing what is required to achieve your goals, to your goal setting process, I suppose I took that for granted, so I am adding that piece of the puzzle here. Setting a goal that requires ingredients you are not able to provide is a futile and flawed exercise. You have to match your abilities and your skill level to your goals, other wise you are just spinning your wheels. Operating an Internet Home Business is tough enough, without us frustrating ourselves unnecessarily. I too own an Internet Home Business, I am speaking from past experience. More about this tomorrow, have a great day.

Internet Home Business Goal Setting, Make Time Frame Realistic

If you operate an Internet Home Business,setting realistic time frames for goals is crucial. The purpose of goal setting is to have a goal sitting out there on the horizon, waiting to be acheived. If the time frame you have set for youreslf is faulty, then we have defeated the whole process. Internet Home Business owners. like the rest of us, including myself, we need regular small victories to be successful, that is what proper goal setting is all about.

 There are two kinds of unrealistic time frames, when it comes to goal setting, the too easy one, and the one that is too difficult to reach, under any circumstances. Lets look at the too easy one first.

  You set a goal to make 5 sales presentations to 5 new prospects. One a day would a reasonable goal to set for yourself, you decide to allow yourself 3 weeks to get the job done. You have turned a reasonable goal, 5 new prospects, into just part of your work day, another task that may be achieved or not, you have put this goal into your regular daily hopper of things to do, a dangerous tactic to adopt. Making goals part of your regular routine makes them just another job, among many, nothing special, certainly not a goal that will be earmarked as a priority. Running a successful Interent Home Business requires a realistic set of goals, that are acheived on a regular basis in order that the business be a success.

  Another error here is, by giving yourself too much time to achieve the goal, you will find that it will start to be dropped down the ladder of priorities, because, you guessed it, you will figure you have lots  of time left to get it done. Sound familiar? What is not important today, if let to sit on the back burner too long, quickly boils over into  urgent, as well as an important task. It’s the same old problem of c priorities being ignored until it’s too late to do anything about them.

  One last point about playing it too cozy, giving yourself too much time to get a goal achieved. Part of the process of setting a realistic time frame in which to accomplish your goals is this, a little sense of urgency is never a bad thing. I did say, a little sense of urgency, little being the key word. Running an Internet Home Business is stressful enough, we do not need to make the job  anymore difficult by adding unnecessary stress to it.

 Goals are wishes we want to turn into reality, see them become reality, see them accomplished. If the deadline is unrealistically, too far away, all of that anticipation is lost, and it’s that anticipation and a little sense of urgency that helps fuel the fire that gets things done. You do not want to waste those important emotions by picking a completion date that is too far in the future.

 The next unrealistic expectation is, the due date that is too short, the date that turns the whole goal setting process into a stressful, anxiety filled nightmare. If you run an Internet Home Business, goals should be something that adds to our enjoyment of the business, not make it harder. By setting goals that are unrealistically short, we make them urgent and important, a bad combination. We want to organize and set up our days so we are working at an optimum pace, getting priorities accomplished, and in doing so, getting our goals, systematically accomplished.

  Whats the secret? There is no secret, what comes close to being a secret is this, you know are aware of the two ends of the process, at one end, setting goals that are too far in the future, at the other end, setting goals with too short a completion date. In the middle is the perfect spot. I guess the secret is this, we very rarely get that perfect spot in the middle, BUT if we keep trying, knowing the dangers of getting too close to either end, we will be on target more times than not.   Have a great day.

Internet Home Business Goal Setting, the Missing Link

Internet Home Business goal setting, the missing link deals with the mistake that a vast majority of Internet Home Business owners that I deal with make. Do not feel alone, this mistake is shared by 95% plus of the population as well. Ther first mistake  is that people do not have an operating system that they use to help them navigate life, a better name is, a Time Management system, try looking at this one, www.powertimemanagementsystems.com. With out an operating system, or a Time Management system, you are missing all of the tools you need to be successfull. For those of you that read the posts here, I use terms and procedures that are covered in the Power Time Management System, these terms describe the what and the how, to make you more successful and happier.

  This post is a prime example, an extremely important tool to have when it comes to making sure that the goals you set, have an opportunity to get accomplished, is the whole process of Time Activating your goals, into your Day Planner. Both of those terms come out of the Power Time Management System. Lets have a fast review of these two terms here.

  Day Planner   The name says it all, its a place where you put your plans for the day. In our case, it is a binder, or a spreadsheet on your computer, a place, a written place that you lay out your Agenda for the day. Without this tool, you are virtually flying blind for the day. Your chances of getting what you want done that day, or any day for that matter is as close to zero as you can get. I have dealt with thousands of Internet Home Business owners, those that have written Agendas for their days, have a 99% BETTER chance of being successful on those days, than people who do have written Agendas. I have seen this fact over the last 30 years, what possible reason would I have for saying it if it was not true?

  Let us not confuse our, your day planner for a simple date book, a calender where you jot down some of the meetings or appointments you might have during the day, for details, www.powertimemanagementsystem.com  A Day Planner, is a detailed plan for each and every day, it outlines the entire thought process you should go through each day to set up and organize your day. You need to give yourself every possible advantage, this is an advantage you can not be without.

  Time Activating is the missing link, it is the step that helps you turn goals, which are an advanced wish, closer to a reality. What is Time Activating?

  Time Activating    When you write down in your Day Planner, specific time slots when a specific priority will be done. A specific priority and a specific tiemslot when it will get done. For example, I have a report that needs to be done tomorrow, its a priority, it will take about an hour, I will then Time Activate the time frame from between 9:00 to 10:00 to get this priority done. You know know that the time to get this task done, has been Time Activated, it has been reserved, regardless of how busy tomorrow gets, regardless of how many urgent things may try to crowd out your Agenda, you know one thing for sure, that key priority already has its own time reserved for it to be done in.

  This step, in conjunction with the rest of the steps you do to set up your Agenda, lays the foundation for you to get the important things you need and want to get done in your life. By now, we should all know that tasks and jobs do not just get done, there has to be a plan in place, the groundwork has to be laid, to enable us to have a system in place to help us get through days , weeks and months that are already far too jammed with things, tasks and jobs we either want to do, or would like to do.

  Operating an Interent Home Business in that climate is a tough job, start by making it easier on yourself, start to Time Activate the really imporatnt taks and jobs in your life in your Day Planner. Try it, the results will amaze you.  Have a great day.

Goal Setting Review for People who own an Internet Home Business

Most of the people who contact me, own an Internet Home Business. The posts that I had on Goal Setting seemed to be very popular. Here is a review of the first posts that Idid on this topic. Operating an Internet Home Business requires the skills to be able to zero in on your goals, and then to make sure you allocate the time and resources to get them accomplished. I hope you find this review helpful in that pursuit.

  1. Goal Setting is not a one time process for Internet Home  Business  owners.  When you set and establish goals, you need to make sure they get to see the light of day once you set them. Most people, the next time they see their goal setting list is next year when they repeat the process all over again. For more on this, visit,

www.powertimemanagementsystems.com.  The key to this process is this, set a goal , then set out exactly how much time it is going to take to achieve that goal and then, Time Activate that time in your Day Planner. I call this the missing link, people set goals, including me, and we then forget that there has to be an accompanying investment of time. We must always look at our goals and then attach the time that will be required to make those goals reality.

  2. Write Them Down.  Goals that are not written down are very unlikely to ever be achieved. If you do not think enough of the goal to spend the time to get it down in writing, then you are usually sentencing that goal to the not done list, at the end of the year. Part of the process of goal setting is being able to work that goal around, massage it, take a look at from a number of different angles, this is best done in a written formal setting.

  3. Make Your Goals Measurable, You own an Internet Home Business, your goal is to increase sales, make more money. These are not really goals, they are more like aspirations, vague and not easily definable. The best goals are the ones that you can easily track your progress with and can clearly see if you have succeeded or not. Goals that get done are the ones that you spend some time and thought into establishing. If your goal is to increase your sales, you should say, I want to have 3 new customers a week, for the next 60 days, then reevaluate at that time.

  4. Face the Reality of Over Flowing Plates, If you run an Internet Home Business, you probably have several and then a full time job to boot. The issue we are all faced with is this, we have too much on our plates, so much that stuff is falling off  the sides, yet we are looking at setting more goals for ourselves, in spite of not being able to accomplish what we have now. This is why it is so important to allocate time to goals, right off the bat, this way, we can see exactly where we are with time issues and then perhaps we can avoid the disappointment of wanting to do more than we have the time and resources for.

  5. Separate the Goals From the Dreams   Nothing wrong in dreams and in dreaming, as long as we do not confuse dreams with goals. Part of the decision and goal setting process is collecting everything you may want to do into one spot, we call this your Power Living Life List, check it out, www.powertimemanagementsystems.com. The damage gets done, when we just keep piling on our dreams and we  forget that someone has to pay the bill at the end of the night. I recognize that it is important to have dreams, something to look forward to, my issue is that you should be able to separate what is feasible and achievable, and what may have to stay on the back burner, permanently.

  Have a great evening.

Technology and Owning an Interent Home Business

Owning an Internet Home Business these days is not as easy as it looks. I have been involved with people who have an Internet Home Business and this discussion comes up a lot. It deals with emails and cell phones, and whether these two devices help or hinder us.

  Lets start with cell phones. I personally do not own one and when I tell people that, they act as if I am from a different planet. the first question they ask is, how do I survive without one? The answer is always a surprise to them, I survive better now, than when i had one, for a very short period of time. First I have to tell you, I have a website that deals with all things related to Time Management, www.powertimemanagementsystems.com, so my focus is how do things relate to time and our use of time. cell phones and proper Time Management, and owning an Internet Home Business, and being profitable at it, do not go together.

 Cell phones, and other devices of their ilk, destroy a persons ability to ever get anything done.  I am sure we have all seen these people, perhaps we are these people, the ones with a cell phone attached to their ear, almost 24/7. Unless you are a dispatcher for an ambulance company, or a heart surgeon waiting to hear when the next heart is in, having a cell phone attached to your ear is not a positive thing.  I have nothing to gain by saying this,  but 30 years and dealing with t 1,000′s of Internet Home Business owners has shown me that the reason most of them struggle is their inability to actually get any work done. It’s hard to concentrate, stay focus and get any meaningful work done when you have a cell phone stuck to the side of your head.

 This issue is not about having a conversation with a business person, some one at home, it’s about the need to always be in contact with who ever feels they need to communicate with you. It’s is this constant contact that destroys your ability to get, as I have already said, to get work done. You will have to asses this situation for yourself, make up your mid if you are happy with what your accomplishing on a daily basis, if you are, then you are golden. If you are not happy with what happens , then you need to find some answers, and this is where you could start looking.

  While you are looking at your cell phone usage, you might want to look at another classic time stealer, emails. On one hand, you have to love the convenience, on the other hand, they can become absolutely addictive.  If you have an Internet Home Business, you have to have a computer and then you can find yourself at the mercy of emails flooding you on a daily basis. The problem with emails, they are interruptions into your day, a day that is already filled to the brim. Emails are interruptions because, 95% of them are people  wanting youto address issues and  agendas, other than the ones that will benefit you the most.

  That is the real problem with emails. You need to use your computer to run your Internet Home Business and you certainly need to use your email, how to do both and stay in control is the problem. I have a simple procedure that I use and it works well for me. I only check my emails 3 times a day. That is right, once around 10:00, NEVER first thing in the morning, once after lunch and then once with about 30 minutes left in the day.

  Checking emails is a real addictive habit and one that is hard to break. Try limiting yourself to 3 time a day and see if it cuts down on the interruptions to the flow of your day.   Have a great day.

Questions on Time Management for Internet Home Businesses, Your Bridge to Success

Internet Home Businesses need to have a way of getting where they are now, to where they want to be. If you are making all the money you want, and are as happy as you expect to be, then you can skip this post. For the rest of the Internet Home Businesses owners, we all have a decision to make, how do we bridge the gap, the gap between where we are now, and where we want to be. My position is clear, the bridge that I am using, is Time Management. In other words, the way that I will better and improve my Internet Home Businesses, as well as my self, is to be able to control and manage my time better, ergo, Time Management.

   For those people who follow me on my Time Management site, www.powertimemanagementsystems.com, this next comment is automatic. Time Management, when you break it down, is really self management, how you manage and control yourself in regards to your use of time. If you operate an Internet Home Business, and have not come to grips that the way to become more success hinges on your use of time, then you have some ground to cover.

  I use this term to describe my Time Management philosophy, as well as The Power Time Management System, its a;

      ”  Time Management Operating System to Help You Maximize and Enjoy Your Life to the Fullest ”

  I used the term operating system because in this day and age, I think most people can relate to the term operating system. It seems really odd that no one would even consider trying to operate their computer without an operating system, but seem to be perfectly fine trying to run their lives without one! The fact that most computers come today, with an operating system already installed should tell you something about the importance of an operating system.

 I am in a difficult spot here, regardless of what I say, it will appear that I am simply trying to sell my Time Management system. That is not entirely true. I will be posting blogs on this site, almost daily, and in those blogs, you will be able to gather and gleam a great deal about what constitutes Proper Time Management, for free. You can also go to my site, this site, and there is a ton of free information, all on Time Management. I would like you to do, one of two things though. Yes, you could purchase the Power Time Management System, I know its the best one on the market, or you could get enthusiastic about Time Management and go on the Internet and find something more suitable to your way of doing things.

  Either way, I hope you decide to make  Time Management your bridge to success. One last thought. Start to invest 15 minutes a day on your future. That is not a lot of time considering what is at stake here. Spend that time on investigating and learning about Time Management, here or at a site/ sites that you feel comfortable at. It is all about time invested in, benefits back out. Spend 15 minutes a day on this powerful maximizing topic, you will not regret it.   Have a great day.

Internet Home Businesses, the Bridge to Success Lies Over Time Management

I have been dealing with Internet Home Businesses and Time Management for more than 30 years, you would of thought that I would of said it all by now, but I guess I have  not. My job is to try to get people  to realize that the way to get more out of life, is get more out of their time. It makes  sense, time is the stuff that life is made up of, the more value you can get out of what life is made up of, the more value you get out of life itself. Makes sense to me.

The point of this post is simple. I just came up with a new way, a better way of showing the relationship between you getting what you want out of life, and time management. It really is just an image, an image that makes sense to me, but then, I am one of the converts. Picture this, you are on one side of a stream, on the other side of the stream, are the things you want out of life. What there are, only you know. The question is, how are you going to get across the stream, without getting wet, to get at your goals in life?

That is always the question, how are we going to get from where we are now, to where we we want to be. 30 years and 60,000 plus people latter, the ” bridge ” from where people are now, to where they want to be is and always has been, Proper Time Management. The picture, the image is crystal clear to me, we get from where we are now, to where we want to be , by using Time Management as the walkway, the path, the bridge. For more answers, www.powertimemanagementsystems.com

We all have to use our own path, we all have to find our own way in life, that is the struggle of life. My own experiences have shown me that the path to take, the one that will get you more of the best results will be if you choose to use Proper Time Management as the bridge between where you are now, to where you want to be. I have always found that I personally respond better when I have a clear picture of what I want to do, and I do mean a clear picture. The picture I have in my mind is  me on one side of a stream, and what I want is on the other side, my goal is how do I get to the other side, without getting wet My Time Management bridge is the perfect image. What image do you have when you think about where you are now and how you are going to get where you want to be?  Have a great day.

Goal Setting For Internet Home Businesses, In February?

Why the heck would some one who owns an Internet Home Businesses want to read a post on a Blog about Goal Setting in February?. Maybe because they want to be successful. I received some positive response to my posts in January and I wanted to finish off the series. Before I go on, I want to address the point about goal setting in February. Most people set up goals at the beginning of January and then they move on, they leave the goals in the dust till next year when they do the whole pointless process all over again. If you operate an Internet Home Business, and you want to be successful, you need to integrate your goal setting into your day to day activities. For more on this, visit, www.powertimemanagementsystems.com

 A quick note, as some of you may know, one of my key goals for this year was to post on my 3 main blogs, EVERYDAY. This blog being one of them. How am I doing, not as well as I would like. Since the beginning of the year, I have had two major legal issues come that have taken up way too much of my time. That time was stolen from my key goal, the blogging. This is the classic situation of someone, myself, being taken off his Agenda and moved to working on an other Agenda. Yes, the classic, working on the urgent, not the important.

  I would say that under difficult times, I have been able to do about 80% of my goals in regards to this goal, the blogging. This goal is really important on a number of levels, I show this importance by making sure this stays on the front burner, gets Time Activated into my Day Planner every day and I work hard on making the time for this to happen. I will get closer to 100% and  I will get 100% compliance on this, that is what a number 1 a Priority deserves and gets, if you are serious about making it happen.

 One more point, before I get totally off track. As with everything, you get better at it the longer you do it. I am not talking about the actual blogging, I am talking about the process of getting the time to do the blogging. I estimated that it would take me less than 3 hours to do the 3 posts. I make my posts between 600 and 800 words, article size. this way, my readers get some meat, and the post can double as an article latter on. I also use the posts  as outlines for content in my Power Time Management Systems, www.powertimemanagementsystems.com , never hurts to double up on the output from a single source of time outlay.

 I am getting better at spending the first 3 hours of the day for this task alone. I find that if I can do all 3 pots at the same time, I can stay focused and get them done better that way. that was the plan from the beginning and that part is working well. The trick is to not let other tasks creep in there and separate the posts, when this happens, I get off track and by the time I get on track, the day is gone and so is one of the posts. I usually get  two of them done, the last one gets lost sometimes.

  I challenge myself daily to get this goal done, I win more times than I lose, this sets up a positive feel for the day. the days I win, I am positive, upbeat, and always get more done the rest of the day. That is one of the reasons I set the first 3 hours of the morning to get this important goal done. I know that I will usually have a winner right off the bat, and I know that will help me for the rest of the day. If you own an Internet Home Businesses, try this momentum builder. It works best when you know that what you are setting up for the first task of the day will more often be a winner for you. Small victories build up over time and the momentum you build can help immensely.

  I always say, Time Management is more about self management than managing our time. They are so closely intertwined that it’s impossible to separate them. Have a great day.
