Keeping Focus in Running an Online Business

As you know there are tasks that need to be done daily in order to run an online business. Working from home many people loose time they should have spent working their online business. We can loose time by doing chores, reading emails, browsing the net, calling a friend or many other ways it is done.

One needs to treat their home business as if it was a business you drove to daily. One needs to stay focus in order to complete tasks, and goals to run a successful online business.

Just like if you worked outside of the home their are tasks needed to be done or the business will fail. In order to succeed in working from home I have found certain steps that makes it easier to stay focus and complete my tasks that are needed to be done daily.

• Buy an alarm clock or a digital timer to set by your computer. I like the digital timers that have dual settings. When I first started out I set it for it to go off every one and half hours. Then I would set the second time to go off in 15-20 minutes for a break.

• Buy a calendar or a planner for tasks. If using a calendar make sure you have one with large enough daily squares to write in. One can print calendars or planners for free from online.

If you plan on work your business 6-8 hrs. Jot done tasks to be done each day.

• Spend one hour in the morning reading and answering emails pertaining to your online business.
• Put in your weekly agenda one hour on your social network places, like Facebook or Twitter. This can be done daily or as many times a week you prefer.
• List your products on your site. May be one hour in the morning, then one hour in the afternoon.
• Joining in a webinar or learning course pertaining to your online business.
• Doing paperwork, accounting info needed.
  

Do not forget to take 15-20 minute breaks, with your breakfast and lunch included. I recommend doing a 15 minute stretch in the morning, then one in the mid afternoon. This is really needed due to we are sitting at the computer, while working your online business.

Once you start doing things you need for your online business, these list on the calendar will become a daily routine.
