Time Management
Set your own Schedule
Though most moms wish it were otherwise, there are still only twenty-four hours in a day. Good time management skills are crucial for home office success. By managing your time, you will not only increase your output, you’ll also average a better per-hour rate.
When you go into business for yourself, no one can tell you what to do and how to do it. The problem is, no one will tell you what to do and how to do it. You are in charge of your own work. If you want to succeed, you have to be just a little bit hard on yourself.
This doesn’t mean forcing yourself to pull all-nighters on a regular basis, or denying all forms of entertainment for the sake of working. However, it does mean you need to actually do the work that must be done. The best way to accomplish this is to set a schedule for yourself, and stick to it.
Many Internet marketing moms choose a somewhat regular work schedule: Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 3 pm. (or whenever your children are at school). For many more, this semi-traditional time table is neither practical nor feasible. The good news is that since you’re the boss of you, you get to set your own schedule that works best with your situation.
It doesn’t matter when the work gets done, only that it does. When you set your work schedule, treat it as though you’re punching a clock. You must start work when you’re scheduled, and you must stop when your shift is over. This also helps to further separate work time from family time, because you know that eventually you get to stop working.
Once you’ve set your schedule, post your working hours on the door (or curtain) of your home office, so your family knows when you will be unavailable.
