Create A Daily Checklist For Better Accomplishment
As an internet marketer your work alone, especially in early part of your business. When you work alone, you need to do everything yourself. Your work profile varies from reading and answering emails to creating and publishing your new articles reports, launching new products.
The there new things to learn. Naturally most of new entrepreneurs work on adhoc basis. I used to this way I would do things which were absolutely necessary for the day and kept postponing others.
There were things I could not do for weeks because I was never free from urgent and pressing things.
It took me long time to understand why my businesses was not moving a single centimeter.
I was working hard but force of my actions was not directed well.
To grow your business, you need to build a consistent system that work everyday towards building your business. A system is nothing but list of daily chores that you need to do for example a list could be as follow:
• Write an article for blog.
• Publish an article in article directories
• Respond to at least 5 questions in forum
• Comment on other blogs in the same niche.
• Write 500 words for your ebook
• Read 10 pages of a new book
• Analyse your web stats
• Email your list
• Add an article to autoresponder
You can build your own checklist that suits your needs.
Number of choices in your checklist would be determined by amount of time you would be spending.
Next thing is to prioritize the list. I prefer to write an article in the morning because I am fresh and full of enthusiasm.
I keep posting in forums for the night as that I can do while I am half asleep.
When creating a checklist there would be a core group of tasks that you would be doing everyday. Plus there would be tasks that would vary on weekly or monthly basis.
You must plan your checklist in a way that your core tasks are never compromised. You would need some time devoted to adjustments though.
Plan your checklist a day before. When planning a checklist just don’t write the stiff to do. Put a subnote for expected time to be taken and part of the day you would be doing it.
This mental exercise and subnotes would enable you to do things faster.
For example if you are writing about creating an article your can write it like
The checklist, 3 May 2008.
Task 1
• Create an article
• Time devotion – 30 mintues
• Topic – How to create an effective checklist
• Points covered- time management, efficiency and so on.
When you do this you know what to write & at what speed?
You would do the work.
If done effectively, it creates an efficient system.
Some people prefer to create a checklist on computer while other do it in traditional style.
I find it more attractive to write an paper. The sense of accomplishment you get when you strike off the tasks that you do cannot come on any other media.
Look! I just struck another task
