If you are currently employed full time and building your internet marketing business part time, you probably find that you get more done with the limited amount of time you have.

What’s funny about that is the whole time you’re working under immense pressure, you keep thinking to yourself: ‘If I only had more time, I could get more done and speed things up’. You ever felt like that?

Now the real kicker is that when you do have those moments when you have the whole day to yourself to crank out some hardcore work… little if anything happens. As a matter of fact you probably would’ve been better off if you just took the day off completely. Why is that?

What Limited Time Forces You To Do

When you have only so much time to devote to a certain activity,  the natural instinct is to prioritize what is most important. It’s the burning building mentality. God forbid you suddenly had to leave your home in the event of a fire emergency, do you have time to sit around thinking what should I take with me?

Of course not and in response to the situation, you mentally focus on what’s most important and take action on that.

So since we have the inate ability to do this subconsciously in the event of an emergency, it is of critical importance to be able to harness that power when it comes to accomplishing our goals in connection with your internet marketing business.

Don’t Be A Clock Watcher

Ever notice how a day can drag when you keep looking up at the clock? I tell you it can seem like forever especially if you’re not to thrilled with your job to begin with. How do you combat this?

Find something to occupy your time with. Start a project that will take your mind off how much time is left until the day is over. How much faster does time fly when your mentally and physically engaged in something?

Application To Your Internet Marketing Business

When you have the whole day or a large block of time to get something substantial done to further your business along try this:

Shift your thinking. Give yourself a mental deadline to carry out your task. As an example from  9am – 10am write some articles. See how many you can write, submit and bookmark within that time frame. Maybe it’s one, two or three, but the main point is that you are taking focused action.

Now give yourself a break for 15-20 minutes and move on to another method of traffic generation or keep going with the same one it’s up to you.

Try to work in blocks of time from 40 min. to an hour each so that you give yourself enough time to get something done. At lunch time, take lunch.

Maybe the second half of your day could be focused writing a new chapter in your information product or creating an ecover. By now I hope you see how effective prioritization can be and hopefully this information proved useful to you.

It happens to every single one of us, especially when we are first
starting out. We try so desperately to learn everything that we can
about building a business online that we end up with so much
information that we can’t make heads or tails of it and ultimately
wind up with no information at all.

In order to prevent this from happening to you, I’ve included some tips in this article that just might prevent you from making the same mistakes that so many people in this business make.

One Thing At A Time

The best tip I can give you is to simply learn one thing at a time. Don’t
download a bunch of books on ad writing, SEO, Adwords, Adsense
and who knows what else and try to learn it all at once. Decide on one
topic, download the information for that topic, read it, understand it
and finally put it into operation before you do anything else. As much
as you want to start advertising using Adwords and at the same time
get your Adsense site up, trying to do both at the same time is going
to be counter productive.

The reason for this is because each topic has its own peculiarities.
Each topic can also get quite involved. A book on Adwords alone can
be almost 100 pages long. How can you possibly absorb all that and at
the same time absorb a 50 page book on Adsense? Your head will spin
so fast you won’t know what hit you. So take it one thing at a time.
You’ll thank me for it in the long run.

Order Of Importance

This may seem like extra work, but if you prioritize the items that
you’re going to learn, it will make things go a lot smoother. The thing
you need to do is sit down and decide what you feel is most important
to learn first. If you ask other people, you’re going to get a lot of
different responses. Ultimately, it will come down to what YOU feel is
most important.

If you’re planning on building a new web site and don’t know HTML,
you may feel that learning web site design is going to be more
important than learning how to write ad copy. After all, if you don’t
have a web site, ad copy isn’t going to help you. Of course you figured
this out on your own without me having to tell you this.

The point is, if you look at what you want to accomplish and prioritize
things, you will find that the information will flow in an orderly
fashion and the overload won’t be as bad. There’s still a lot to learn,
but by prioritizing it, you can make sure you’re learning them in a
logical order and that way one piece of information will flow into the
next.

Make A Schedule

Even after you prioritize what you’re going to learn first, you still
want to make a schedule for each item. For example, you’re not going
to learn SEO in one day. So break it up into sections. Maybe allow
yourself a couple of weeks to go through whatever material you’ve
collected on SEO. If you try to do it all at once, you’re still going to
suffer from information overload as one subject can easily burn your
brain to a crisp.

By following these simple tips, you should greatly be able to reduce
the amount of information overload that your mind will be exposed
to.

To Your Success,

Nando
