Create a Task List
With a business, comes a huge variety of tasks that need to be done daily. Some businesses are able to hire employees to do each of these tasks. For the small business, each staff person is responsible for a greater percentage of things that need to be done. The small, internet business owner, in most cases, must do it all.
I have found that keeping a list of tasks to do helps me to keep on track during the day. Once a task is checked off, I know its done. With each task, I remind myself why it needs to be done. As well, I know how much time to spend on each task to keep me moving along. Some tasks are done more than once during the day
Here's my list:
This works out to about 5 hours daily. I don't work 5 hours consecutively, but rather do each task and then decide when to do the next. I spend the full time for each task once I begin that task. This helps me control the amount of time I am working on my business. You may have different tasks for different reasons, but a list will help you keep on fishin'!

Looks like a great schedule, and you accomplish quite a bit. Keep up the disciplined good work
One of the tings I have found is that, when you have an actual list, complete with the amount of time to spend on each, it actually changes what you do and how you do it.
(you usually do more than yu have scheduled because you are keeping yourself accountable.
I'm in the process of working out my own task list right now, so it was really helpful to see how someone else does it. Thanks for posting!
Great idea and advice -- especially for us newer people! Once I complete my training courses, I could definitely follow something along those lines!

Great task list. Some would even set an alarm clock to each task.
