Most Important Things First
Your most important things should be your first priority. These would be things that you MUST complete for the day. They are also things that you are required to do to get other things done.
If you want to increase the traffic to your website, you have to have blog posts. If you do not write blog posts, you will not get any visitors.
Do you see the connect here?
Sitting and hoping for visitors will not increase the traffic to your website. Writing blogs, consistently will. So, one of the first things that you should be doing every day, is writing a blog for your websites.
The quantity will be determined by you but in building your online business this must be one of your highest objectives, every day.
Number Your Priorities
To be certain that you have your objectives in order, a good practice is numbering them. I start with 1 as my first and most important task and continue to the least important.
As a quick point of reference, it also gives me a running check of how many things I have to accomplish. Depending on the day at hand, sometimes I may even put a rough estimate on the amount of time I think each task would take me.
You have to determine your priorities, based on your own personal circumstances.
I am a single-parent who also manages offline businesses while I am working on building my online presence. Our well-being and my daughter are my first daily priorities. Once they are taken care of, I have full control of how I manage my time.
The majority of my days start early and allow for me giving WA and my online business second attention.
Always thinking of you Cassi. first it was for friendship, and we encourage each other, now it is for filling in parts of me, so I can understand and begin to make a plan of implementation.
Thank you, Cassi, You have my heart and I so appreciate you!

I'm lucky I can take my computer to work with me and do an hours research during quiet times, using my bosses internet to answer my long list of emails or start typing up my blog in word. If I have five minutes I'm on my phone checking emails. After work, is for emails.
Thanks Cassie
Of course that will take vision and planning for your future. Only you can do that for yourself, WA has the tools.
It will take treating Quality Time like what it is, an ephemeral jewel, like a drop of water on a leaf.
If you don't get it moving"she" will be gone! Time, you just got to make her sure that she's welcome.

Thanks again for this training.
I am in a similar situation ,single father of two adult sons (22 and one18 to become in November) and combining my online business with a day job. So time management is something I really have to do. I am glad to see that I do the same as you ,writing things down I use daily notepapers.
In the beginning it was hard to see I could not get done all things, but as I grow into it, I also shifted mindset and was more happy to cross of things then worried about things not done.
As you said we all have the same 24 hours, as long I know the things that should be done (priorities) are done ,the rest I reschedule. It works for me, actually getting more things done ,when I started making my daily notepapers of what to do.
Well wishes,
