Network Marketing: Effective Time Management

How often do you find yourself running out of time? Weekly, daily, hourly? For many and even us networker, it seems that there's just never enough time in the day to get everything done.

"Time is what we want most, but... what we use worst." William Penn

When you know how to manage your time you gain control. Rather than busily working here, there, and everywhere (and not getting much done anywhere), effective time management helps you to choose what to work on and when. This is essential if you're to achieve anything of any real worth.

I found this article useful from other networker blog.

"Each night before I go to bed, I make a list of all the things that I need to do the following day. After I listed them all, I separate the top 3 tasks that I think the most important and the ones that will give me better productivity once I accomplish them.

Then In the morning when I woke up, I make top 3 priority and start accomplishing them. Most of the time the top 3 on my list will be the hardest  and the biggest task (keep in mind that the greater the task that you’ll accomplish, the bigger the impact to your daily activity therefore will increase your productivity and results.)"

COMMON MISTAKE PEOPLE DO
- They start on the much less important things because they are much easier. Unfortunately, these easy and small tasks will eventually sums up and they'll be spending their whole day working this less important task that will eat their time away.

Here is a quick guide on deciding what task to prioritize. This step is from a book called First Things First written by Stephen Covey who is a time and organizational management guru.

Prioritize your task according to its importance:

1. Important and Urgent
2. Important but not Urgent
3. Not Important but Urgent
4. Not Important and Not Urgent

Always remember to focus on the important task first and not the urgent ones. Don’t fall to the concept of urgency like most people do.

Most people will prioritize their task like this base on urgency:

1. Important and Urgent
2. Not Important but Urgent
3. Important but not Urgent
4. Not Important and Not Urgent

Don’t prioritize things that will consume your time.

Scheduling is the process by which you plan your use of time. By scheduling effectively, you can both reduce stress and maximize your effectiveness.
