Making daily progress creating content

I am on Course 2, lesson 2. This is the part where I need to build content on my website. I am new to all of this so I have to learn how to navigate word press at the same time that I am creating content. Wow, that's a lot of work. How am I going to get through this. I am sure that this is the same place where I stopped in past online business attempts. However, in the past, I did not have very good training tools or a community like WA. I have been reading the live chat and posts and I can see that other members talk about procrastination and motivation.
When I worked for a corporation, it was my job to create spreadsheets and track expenses. I also had accounting duties, shipping and invoicing and I kept track of inventory, all using computer programs. I was not the boss. I had four people over me that put memo's in my inbox every time they had a task for me. I worked diligently to complete each task in a timely manner because I wanted to move up in the company and earn more money. There was so much petty bickering and office politics going on that I did not stand a chance in getting the promotion that I wanted even though I did excellent work. That's why I'm here now and on lesson 2-2 (building my website and creating content). Oh yea, and wondering how I'm going to get through this and on to driving traffic and monetizing the website so I can make a living. Here is what I am doing to get over this hurdle:
I am not an employee anymore. I am the BOSS. I am the CEO. But, I am also the only person in the organization and I perform every task. Then, something occurred to me. Every morning, when I start working on my business, I get a pad of paper and write down each task that needs to get done for the day (wearing my CEO hat). Then I put those pieces of paper in my inbox at my desk where I am the only "employee". I complete each task, sign off on it and put it in my out box. This way I can compartmentalize my work and be accountable to the CEO (me) separately. I always told people that if I could work half as hard for myself as I do other people I would be a millionaire. Well, here's my chance. And here's your chance too. I hope this helped someone.
