Forums: Discussions for entrepreneurs and small business.

So i have a small business on the side and use paid advertising as well as free. I also go to school while working from home and just cant seem to get a spare moment to write down a to do list. Anyone have any suggestions as to how they organize their day to make it as efficent but not too busy to relax at some point?

Realize that you can`t get everything done at once. Focus on your priorities, and make a decision as to which is more important: your life or your work.

You don`t have to accomplish an entire life`s work all in 1 year. So it comes down to what`s your overall life goal...what do you want out of life? When you`re 80, looking back over your life, what do you imagine will be the most satisfying aspect of how you lived?

First you have to establish some boundaries for yourself.  When you are your own boss it is up to you put some free time in your schedule.

I completely agree MiteyMite`s suggestion of more than one monitor.  It has done wonders for me and I highly recommend it. 

You also need to find the best way to get the most out of your time.  I highly recommend a site like Lifehacker as they have multiple daily suggestions for ways to save time. I find Lifehacker`s approach very effective because the same organizing and time-saving tips do not work for everyone.  That is why it is great to have new daily suggestions.

For organizing I use Evernote and Remember the Milk.  Remember the Milk csan even be integrated into your google mail or calendar.

Good luck on finding an approach that works for you.  The great news is that you are always the on in control.

I never thought adding multiple monitors would increase productivity. What a great idea.

Prioritizing is very important. Plan ahead and stick to the plan. You wont be dissapointed.

wow wtgg ty, something i can keep focus on which is something im lacking even how hard i try.  I do currently get about 6 hours of sleep or less, as i do go to school so i tend to work and do school at the same time(its really easy for me to do it that way, even though it makes no sense) so i do tend to reply to inquries but need a bit more than just 30 mins for relax. That and whats great is im so tired by the end of the day theres no need to worry about tossing and turning.
