Save Time, Earn More Money By Being Organised
Do you find you don’t have time to do all the things you need to do in a day?
Are you ever unsure about what are your real priorities for developing your internet business?
Is your work life balance loaded in favour of work?
I’ve struggled with all these questions while I’ve been trying to start up my internet business. The answer of course is to be able to make sure you have a clear plan both for the long term and for the short term right down to the tasks you need to each and every day.
So how can you be clear about what your priorities are and what you need to do next with any activity you are planning - whether it’s business or your day to day life?
I’ve tried a whole range of different tools like to-do lists, timelines, putting post it notes all over the place etc. While they can be helpful I’ve mostly found that they just don’t cut it…
Just doing the tools can take up a large part of the day. They don’t make it easy to juggle priorities and it’s hard to relate what you’re doing to the bigger picture.
Just recently I’ve been introduced to an excellent piece of free software called Freemind that has made it much easier for me to plan my time and let me fit more in.
The benefit of using Freemind is that it’s real easy to first of all brainstorm all the tasks you need to do, then organise them in a logical way so that you can get through them efficiently and finally to set and change priorities as you uncover new information.
You can organise just about anything - from a single day through to a complex project, breaking down all the tasks into simple lists, organising them, prioritising them and moving them round when you need to. It’s all done on your computer screen quickly and easily. Once you’ve got your plan you can get on with it knowing that you’re making the best use of your time you possibly can.
I would strongly recommend checking out Freemind, it is complete free and very easy to install and get working.
You can get it from sourceforge.net, but it’s quite an effort to wade your way through that site (if you’ve ever tried downloading from sourceforge you’ll know what I mean).
My top tip is to get Freemind completely FREE from Bob the Teacher’s site at discoverfreemind.com. If you go there you’ll find he is also offering some other very useful free stuff to make it even easier to use Freemind
If you go to discoverfreemind.com you’ll also see Bob is offering some training on installing and using Freemind. I’ve been through that course and I’d recommend it as a great way to get started using Freemind.
So what are you waiting for? Check out Freemind now and get the benefits straight away…
