Ok noobs, this is an easy tip that I hope most of you are doing already but if not, you should.

Make a List.............no not Build a List

Make a list of everything you need to do each day to build your business. Allocate a certain amount of time for each task, whatever it may be.....

article writing and submission
writing posts on your blog
building backlinks
product creation
re-writing plr

.....whatever it is just write it down on a piece of paper along with the time you think you need to spend on each task, and when the time you allocated is used up move to the next task

At the end of the day or week, see how much you accomplished and either add time or take time away from any particular tasks.

This can only make you work more efficiently and maximize the return on your time.

If you don't want to write it on a piece of paper, use an online post-it note, use an Outlook daily calendar.

The point is to organize your time and you'll see better results.

I know this sounds intuitive, but if you're just starting out its a good way to get past info overload.

I know its not much but its a start......

Peace

    I'd add to this by saying that folks should start by first creating a business plan and/or mindmap of the overall process and the goals the person wants to achieve. That way, the daily "to do" list are steps towards a specific goal.

    Point is, without a specific goal in mind, some people just create the tasks they heard they should do. For example, they start tasks like article marketing, starting a blog and getting on Twitter. Problem is, they haven't yet figured out where they want to go. And even if they have their destination figured out, they're not clear how this hodge podge of tasks and steps will lead them there.


    Cheers,
    Becky

      Great idea about the mindmap. I've never done it and I'm going to do it now.

    Having everything mapped out is so vital for a few reasons. One it helps you to organize your day better, but two, if you plan on outsourcing later it can give you a blueprint to hand off to someone else

    Boy I couldn't agree with you more, treat it like going to a 9-5 job. Thats what I do, I make out my list for an entire month, 30 day period. Daily tasks, weekly tasks, monthly tasks. As soon as I started doing this I finished my stuff with time to spare and had a lot more free time. My work was completed on time, and thats a great feeling

    Thanks! as a newbie, overload is far from what I'm experiencing yet, but I anticipate because I'm a great writer, and I take note of your tip...pun intended.
