When Time is of the Essence.
So many times have we heard someone saying ... wooo I don't have the time ... little do we know how intricate time management can be.
Time can never be stopped or regained, every second that has passed can never be retrieved, it is gone forever like water under a bridge.
It is so easy to say I will spend a certain amount of time each day on my project, and you do, most of the time sitting even longer than you planned.
The crucial element of time management is the quality you give it. If the minutes are packed and not hollow it doesn't even have to be that long.
It is so easy to sit and interact, answering helping and commenting disappearing into the wonder world of WA. It is so fulfilling and you getting higher rankings in the process is a necessity, but giving it priority while you are still building your business can hamper the progress you want. As they say in budgeting ... every month pay yourself first before you pay the rest!
Rankings and helping others are very important elements for our success, without it WA will not be the dinamic site it is, we all need encouragement but have to differentiate and have priorities while planning a schedule with phases for our business.
Dividing your working time into segments is crucial. Decide what you want to accomplish that day dedicate a phase to it eg. training, blogging, building your site, and the reading commenting and helping. After completing your tasks for the day you will enjoy the interaction much more. Many times you will go over your time schedule but it will be for a good reason.
Each day might differ ... all that matters is to have productive intentions, jot down a priority list for the day get going with quality time and tick every square when you have reached you goal for the day.
Best of success to you.

You have a realistic view of time management Stella. I've never heard your budgeting point expressed above ... but I like it.
Hi Dennis
Paying yourself first is inspiring and gives confidence.
You have to acknowledge your hardwork yourself by builing your own safety net and backing up system.
The only way is to pay yourself first into a one way savings account and then the other resposibilies there after.
Best wishes

Thanks for the reminder, Stella.
My case is similar to you. I spent one year with WA and not achieved my goal. 1018 is leaving with much guilt that I would have done better if managed my time properly.
But still its never too late.
Hope for a more creative me in 2019.
Thanks once again and all the best for 2019. We will do it!!!
Warm Regards,

Thank you Gaurav
All my whole life I have not had the proper respect for time because I live in the now, never really had to do planning and wasted many hours
.
Now in my mature days I learn to respect and manage time better, because I have a purpose again ... lol
Wishing you a very productive year with WA with great success!

Hi Gaurav,
We are all guilty of wasting some time along the way.
I am not good at time management because I never had a hectic schedule, always have had more than enough time and wasted a lot.
Now all of a sudden I wake up, time is much more important now.
Thank you for your best withes for 2019!
My wish for you is chase those goals and win this race, 2019 is the year!

Some very good tips Stella, managing our time in this industry can be of critical importance
Every time we go online we should have a definite plan of action failing to do this is failing ourselves.
Time connected online has a habit of running away on us if we are not focused, we are here to grow a business unlike the majority of folks that are content in just surfing around and burning time.
Thank you, for your reminders.
