The Power Of This One Little Action
As online entrepreneurs distractions are everywhere. And I mean everywhere. From social media to emails to surfing the net. It’s not hard to get sidetracked during the day.
I usually talk to a lot of people each day, and most of the people I talk to can't understand where the day went and how they didn't get the things they wanted to get done - done.
Even with the best intentions for the day we’ve all been there.
Want to know my secret? Well it’s not really a secret and I know many members do exactly what I do.
I have my daily to do list – I map out the things that I absolutely must get done for the day, from the most important to the least important.
I also make sure I’m realistic about my to do list. Believe me the worlds not going to end if something does not make your days to do list.
I also make it my goal not to carryover things from todays to do list to tomorrow’s list. Again this relates to being realistic with your to do list.
Typically my to do lists starts as a weekly list and then I break it down and incorporate it into my weekly schedule.
My weekly schedule are the things I do every day to build my business. I talked about my weekly schedule in another post I did here 10 steps on how to succedd with affiliate marketing.
You can read that post here if you like https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/leoemery/blog/10-t...
Here’s my schedule from that post.
Monday:
This is the day that I voice, produce and do everything related for my video's.
Tuesday & Wednesday:
On these 2 days I create content for my sites.
Thursday:
This is my keyword research day.
Friday:
This is learning day. I set aside this time to learn what's new and what can potentially increase my skills as a marketer to keep growing my business.
Now for the most powerful action of all this:
I have a 4x8 foot white board in my office and this is where I have my daily to do list. And for every task I accomplish on my to do list I put a huge green check mark.
My goal by the end of the day is to have a green check mark by every task. Believe me there is nothing more powerful than seeing a completed daily to do list with all those green check marks.
So if you’re ending your day or even your week wondering how it got away from you. Try making a to do list and start getting those green check marks.
I believe in you

I love it, great post! I do the same only, in a different order. Meaning I do it on a day to day basis, and with my bigger project for my To Do Lists designated for the weekly or monthy lists. Great work and advice Leo, thank you for sharing this wonderful content! I wish you crazy insane, sought-after success my friend!

That's a great time management strategy Leo. There are others that have been shared here too, which I have read abd are effective.
I've heard some swear by planning a task and timing it for say 2 hours with an alarm clock, taking a 10 minutes break - then onward to Task #2, 3 and so - each followed by a 10 minutes break.
Whatever structured scheme works best for the person I think is what should followed.
Yeah, what works for someone may not work for another person. I also have a on screen notification that pops up after 2 hours, but not task completion timed, just so I do take breaks.
A big message comes up and says "Get Up And Walk Away Your Ass Is Getting Bigger"
Then I take a break and don't come back for at least 20 minutes.
