Project management
I just wanted to share with you something I began doing recently, and it made me A LOT more productive and organized. It also helped me arrange everything I have to do, and to always be aware of reasons why I'm doing it.
It's called - Project management.
Let's put it this way - you want to have a website about a certain niche, which will provide certain value to it's visitors and earn you 200$ monthly passive income. You also know by which date you want that to happen.
You've got firm goals for that 'project' and want to get it done.
The biggest problem with such projects is that you have to put pressure on yourself to make it happen. When you're working at a certain company you have your boss doing that. If you're doing some freelance job - you have a deadline doing that. Now, you have to define every task you should be doing and assign deadlines to them.
That's the beauty of project management. You can create your projects, put tasks in it, which are required to make everything work. Assign deadlines, which will automatically be put in your calendar. Then, the only thing you should be doing is working.
There are several awesome project management websites, which allow you to involve other people in projects. They have to report you with what they've done, so you have everything under control. I'm not sure if I can tell which service I'm using, because I don't want to make a confusion that I'm making a promotion here. Google a bit and I'm sure you'll find what's ideal for you!
I want to tell you that I began creating projects, tasks and deadlines, and simply as that, things are turning real!

This is motivation on overdrive. Project status always gets things done. great post. kick started me!!!
Another thing I forgot to mention is that having your ultimate project goal (for example - earn 500$ passive monthly income or something) written out in front of you every morning, when you look at your project booster is ENORMOUS MOTIVATION BOOSTER!!!!!
I'm currently working on 5 separate website projects, I wake up early in the morning and getting to sleep late at night! I'm making this happen and nothing can get in the way!!!! ;)
I've used Microsoft Project in the past for big electrical and construction projects but never considered paring it down for my IM work. Interesting idea
Appreciate the information. Sounds like a better way to stay organized. I've just been keeping my tasks and projects in notebooks.

I'm not sure I get it...so you manage your own projects? Do you need to install software to do this, or is it done through a web app?
It's all on a website, so it allows people from all over the globe to work on a certain project, if necessary. Google a bit; project management. I'm sure you'll get it and make the most use of it!
