Is Your Internet Home Business Controlling You?
The Problem of Time Management
Perhaps you already manage an internet home business, and are aware of how time consuming it can be - often against your will. Each of us has 24 hours in a day and your internet home business could be robbing you of time with your spouse and your children and friends, to listen to music, to read books, or to enjoy a multiplicity of other interests. What can you possibly do?
What was described in the first paragraph is a typifies a time management paradox. Millions of internet home business owners, feel that they are not in complete control of their time, or of their lives, leaving many feeling miserable. In this condition, you will never be truly happy, no matter how rich you are or how much recognition you receive.
Managing Your Time Properly
The cardinal rule of time management is this: Set your priorities. In life, few things are more important than setting your priorities, since they form the foundation for allocating the time to spend on each area of your life. You must identify exactly what you want in life, and determine to spend more time on those things that you feel are most important.
In the immortal words of Goethe, “Things that matter most must never be at the mercy of things that matter least.” If your internet home business isn’t the most important thing, you should begin to scale down the time you personally spend on it. You can either 1) get someone else to do the job for you; or 2) install automation to handle the repetitive tasks. Remember: You own your home business; it doesn’t own you.
Time management gurus tell us that most people don’t really work all the time that they are at work. They may spend an hour here chatting with officemates, another hour there for lunch, and another utterly distracted. This causes work to pile up and challenges to surface at a later time.
To avoid this, work all the time you're at work on your internet home business. Definitely take breaks whenever you need them, but don't take more than time than you need to. Focus on the task at hand to get it done more quickly and free up more time for the other things you want to do.
