As you may already know, I have experience in working from home on support sites for several Internet Marketing millionaires.  One of the biggest complaints and cries for help were from customers that also wanted to work from home and had a bad case of “Information Overload.”  There are so many people that make it harder than it is and end up spinning in circles, accomplishing nothing.  We are going to go over some key points in managing your time and getting your goals accomplished.

7 Steps to Work From Home Efficiently:

1. Take a deep breath… seriously…in through the nose….out through the mouth.  Very Good!  You are making it too big, too big of a task to get IT ALL DONE NOW!  You don’t need to do this to yourself.  You only really need at least 30 minutes every day of Focused, Calm and Relaxed working time.  You will be surprised by how much you can get done by simply being consistent.  30 minutes will do…Now don’t you feel better?  ;  )
2. Once you’ve made a decision about what to do, act upon it.  No excuses, no looking in your rear-view mirror.  Just do it, PERIOD!
3. Make yourself a “To Do” list and section it into 3-5 actions at a time.  Organize it by priority as best you can, then check off each small section as you accomplish the tasks.  Give yourself a pat on the back and let yourself feel good about each accomplishment.  You did good!!
4. Pretend you are your own Boss…oh, wait, you ARE your own Boss!  So, ask yourself, “What would I do to get the most out of my employee?”  And then do THAT.  Take it serious that someone is watching you and act accordingly – because someone is.
5. When sitting down to work – Immediately start working.  Train yourself to be like Pavlov’s dog!  Sitting at your desk does not mean watching clips about the latest celebrities or talking to your friend on the phone.  Don’t check email, any chatting, etc.  Set a timer for the time you are going to work and shut everything else off.
6. Either at the end of the day or at the very beginning (depends on the kind of person you are!) set aside 5-10 minutes to write down and plan out 2-3 things that you are going to work on tomorrow/later today when it’s time to sit down and work.  Keep it in a place where you can see it and check off the items as they are accomplished.
7. Make a schedule for everything in your life – including down time and time with family.  You have to get used to saying “No” and asking for quality time to get your work done.  Again, consistent time will get you farther than you ever imagined – don’t cheat yourself or let anyone else cheat you out of your dream!

Don’t let the dream of working from home die because you feel like you have to put in 8 hour days – it doesn’t have to be that way.  The “Secret” to a successful work from home business is consistency…it’s not sexy, but it’s true!
