Get lost!

If I said that I didn't post that title to get your attention, I'd be lying. But that is exactly what I'm doing when I'm promoting my web sites. There is so much information out there and in this forum that it's hard to stick to a schedule.

My schedule is pretty haphazard:
  • Check email.
  • Check out my web site stats.
  • Got to the WF and check for any interesting messages and follow through on any interesting links or commenting on posts.
  • Stumble through web sites looking for blogs to comment on so I can post a reply with my URL.
  • Post something on my blog if I have anything to write about.
  • Go to WF.
  • Tweak my blogs layout or add widgets.
  • Write an article for EzineArticles if I've thought of something.
  • etc.
You get the picture. There are other things but I don't do anything by a schedule. Usually what happens is I walk out the door to walk my dog and then realize I'd forgotten to do something.
Do you keep a schedule when you're doing this? I'm interested what kind of schedules you follow - part-timers especially since I've only got a few hours a day to do this in.

    Ryan, I used to do a lot more than that each day to promote my products and websites but I always wrote the steps on a white board and what I was to do that day and the whole week. That way I knew what to do every day. Next week, just start over. It worked great until each spring... then I went fishing all summer

    Ryan, one thing I notice immediately is that there's no separation between "input" and "output" activities.

    I recommend you try a one hour a day limit, scheduled consistently, for you to read, browse, surf, look for new ideas or opportunities.

    At the end of the hour - use a timer that dings - no more input for the day.

    Take a ten minute break, walk around a bit then take half an hour to prioritize the best ideas you will use or apply in the next 24 hours.

    Then use two hours a day for your own output activities, based on your priorities list, whether that be blogs, forum posts, or whatever on that day's list. At the end of the two hours: stop.

    Each week, go through the master list of your outputs - articles, design tweaks, etc. Which of them paid off with additional sales or profits? Put them on the "do more of this" list. Which ones were time sinks without payoff? Put them on the "skip this" list.

    Over time you will make your process more efficient.

    Regards,
    Allen
