The Article HighwayDelivering a Wealth of Information

In the beginning, when I started work as a network marketer, the main issue I faced was that the busier I got, the less time I seemed to have to do all the work. You may think that the problem is easily fixed, but that’s easier said than done

As my business is home based, there are other issues – the family can be a distraction, and when people see you at home, they assume that as you are not “at work” they can get your attention. I found a simple method to cope.

Your inititial task is to figure out where you spend your time. Usually you have 3 categories, Family, Work, and Everything Else

Now you need to build a timetable with all of your activities catered for. Include as much detail as you can so that you know it will work in a balanced way, with no emphasis on any part over any other.

Take your diary, or a copy of your timetable with you at all times. This will allow you to get back on track after family, friends or other things take your attention away from your allocated tasks. If you are unable to check your progress, you stay off track – check it regularly

Take ten minutes at night before you retire for the day to itemise all the things you want to achieve or enjoy for the following day. Include time for exercise, for playing with your children and time with your partner.

Here is the Key to Maximum Productivity. Schedule your work in 2 three hour blocks, with each hour broken into 50 minutes of WORK and 10 minutes of NON-WORK. Separate the three hour blocks with at least 30 minutes of exercise, relaxation, refuelling, or meditation.

Be very specific about your activity. At least 80% of your work should be on Income Producing Activity (IPA) such as (for network marketers) lead generation or follow up. The rest of your work should be mastering new skills.

So, how do you do it? Use a stopwatch or timing device. Set up 50/10 minutes for your hours. There is a body of research that reports that 50 minutes is the optimum period of maximum productivity. Work 50 relax 10 and so on until your 3 hour blocks are comepleted

If your time is limited because of a full time job, try for a 50/10/50 minute session, more than one if you can

You will get a pleasant surprise when you realise how much you have done by utilising your time this way. You could even make your full year income in a month.
