A Day In Your Life?

Today, I woke up at 11:30

Right now I am browsing warrior forum

At about 1 (when it's 11:00 AM in Pakistan) I will contact my virtual assistant and ask her to contact the freelancers and ask them how the current project is going

My VA is now going to contact all of my freelancers and collect their daily reports from them (I give them a template when the start working). Then she will make her own report and send it to me. It usually takes about an hour so I just hang around on Warrior Forum while drinking soda

When I get the report, I sit down for like 2 hours and plan out what's next. Then I send the report to my VA and she sorts out the tasks and gives them to individual freelancers.

It's 4:00 pm and I have promised my uncle that I will help him on his gas station (thinking it will be fun). So at 4:00 PM I leave to work (without pay )

I come back from there at 10:00PM and then I get back to IM.

From 10:00PM - 3:00AM I work on my products and that's the time I type like crazy

If I am not creating a product, then I usually write articles for my niche websites or do some backlinking but I really don't have to worry about it because I have people doing it for me.

3:00AM-4:00PM I play games online

At about 5:00 AM I go to sleep

Rinse and repeat

I think my life would have been tons better if I refused when my uncle asked me "It's gonna be fun, come work with me"

But I told him I will help him out 4 days a week for the whole summer and so I will

Now on the days when I don't have to go the stupid gas station, I play video games in the 6 hours that I have (What else can you expect from a 17 year old)

Wake up

Check last night's link blast

Check payments recieved

Tweak websites and products

Eat

other stuff im too lazy to write

Wondering if someone here has a 'glamorous' life... as in chilling all day, working 4 hours a week/day, sipping Dom Perignon, lying on the beach in the sun, hitting the clubs, drinking martini's. You know enjoying life...

That's my goal. Work is inevitable (right now) but hey someday I hope life will be easy like that. We only get to play this game once..

8:30 AM- Wake up , check forum, answer e-mails, deal with any pressing issues.
9:15 AM - Breakfast
10 AM - Boot camp at the local gym
11 AM - Check e-mails, check in with my team, relay daily goals to my employees
12 PM - Quick lunch at Subway or somewhere around here
1 PM - 3 PM - Work on customer orders, websites, etc.
3 PM - 6 PM - Work on my own new products, affiliate websites, create videos, tweak PPC campaigns, etc.

Rest of the day - Sports (golf or tennis) Rest, reflect, think of new ideas to make my business run better and more profitable.

After doing this full time for 3 years I've learned the key to not burning out is to ENJOY your time away from the computer. Luckily I love golf, hanging out with friends, my dogs, and traveling. Many people in IM get totally absorbed which is fine to start but once you start making money take time for YOURSELF and more will come out of it

Very early: Wake up
Still early: Drink Coffee
Early: Take care of kids
Borderline early: Work on IM stuff
Getting not early: study for RN studies
Less early: More IM stuff

and so the day goes ...

I read the news today, Oh boy.
I turned on the computer.
Some kinda food.
I turned off the computer.
I went to sleep.

I am almost Serious,
I am way behind on the IM Goals I set for myself. :confused:

hmm..

I wake up and check all of my emails first. I then go and check my membership forums for any new threads I need to reply to. Next, I'll check my adswap for the day to make sure clicks are looking good.

Finally I'll get around to checking my accounts for payments received. Gotta save the best for last

If I feel up to it, I'll write a blog post! Other than that, I try to enjoy my offline life since everything is pretty much on autopilot.

These are the lives I want to have!

Anyone who lists "check e-mails" more than twice per day needs to start outsourcing their e-mail management.

It is one of the most egregious productivity wasters.

Wow! Thanks for sharing guys.

RenaissanceMan - Nice tip about not burning out.

Mohammad Afaq - It looks like your really good at this. Thanks for sharing. I like playing online games too

Keep 'em coming guys. Also do share how you get organized. Like Paper & Pen? or Mighty Memory? or MS Word?

Thanks!

Check Adsense.
Check E-mail.
Check to-do list.
Do.

Browse forums till I get bored, go hang out with friends. Most of them have 9-5 jobs so..

unlimitedsubmissions it's so true about the friends having those 9-5 jobs

My day is only about 4 hours of work and the rest of my time playing around online or out networking.

No strict schedule. Generally wake up around 9 or 10am, and every work day is different. For example:

Today -- Finish upgrade to scraper script, complete the two pending installs, finish sales site, and contact the potentials to let them know the features they requested are now supported.

Tomorrow -- Setup two more web servers, and release a good sized update to my clients dating site / software.

Over the next week -- Develop project I'm working on with a fellow warrior, and move client's dating site to my new software infrastructure. Oh, and profusely apologize to another warrior, and see if they're still interested in doing their project together.

After that, who knows. All depends what comes up over the next few days / week. With my job, I can't schedule things out like you guys can. All I can do is setup processes to easily handle & streamline whatever does come in.

Wake up
Fire up the coffee maker
Shower, etc.
Feed my kids
Log onto my email while having coffee
Check how much I have sold
Sort out leads and taking buyers off of the prospects list and moving them into a new campaign
Check for customer support emails/respond to those that are urgent/mark the rest for later follow up
Clean up my lists/remove unsubscribes
Check what my friends have been up to on FaceBook
Chat with people on FaceBook
Call up my girlfriend
Take my kids to swim lessons
Go to the gym
Come home
Check what else have sold
etc.

As a student my life is not a hectic business driven life, but i do maintain record of every transaction in an excel sheet and keep searching for new tactics to fool the market like POP.

Wake up.
Get ready for the day, hop in the Jeep and head to 7-11 for coffee and handing out business cards for my comedy site to strangers.
Drive over to my Dad's and talk about work for an hour or so.
Go home and work my RL job.
Take a nice long shower every day around 4:30-5pm.
Prepare and cook dinner for the wife since she commutes and I work @ home.
Hang out with the woman.
Woman sleeps around 11pm.
I come down to my basement workshop and work on new puppets or videos. Or lately toil endlessly trying to figure out what I have to do to promote my sites which is has become the bane of my existence.
Sleep around 3:00-4:00am or whenever no set time.

Wake Up at 7:30 am to take the dogs out...

Come back and check last night sales and emails (don't answer them yet thought)...
Take another nap and really get up at 8:30 am
Shower, breakfast and straight to the computer...
Answer emails...
Wonder through forums for one hour ... not more, unless I find a great WSO and start a new research...

The rest of the day I work on the next site to launch....

And of course I do normal things like eat and run errands ... and take the dogs out multiple times a day.... I love my dogs...

7:30 - Wake up and check emails
8:00 - Breakfast
8:30 - Leave for university
9:00 - 6:00pm - Study/attend classes/gym it up
6:30 - 11:00pm - Maintain ranked position on an MMORPG
11:00 - 02:00am - Work (write articles, process employee payments if needed, customer support duties).

Next day I have no classes. Then the next I do etc. Rinse and repeat.
