Home Business Tips - A Primer in Organization

103 45
You know what one of the most difficult things is about starting your own home business? It's getting organized.
Sometimes just weeding through all the things that you need to do on a daily basis is enough to drive you to drink.
I don't know what your to do list looks like but mine reads like War and Peace.
It's not pretty.
The key, however, is to organize your day so that you get the most out of it.
In this article, I'm going to give you some organizational tips that should have your day running like clockwork.
For one thing, I mentioned my to do list.
Do you even have one? Well, if not...
make one.
I'm serious.
Don't rely on your memory.
As I get older, I find that my memory is not what it used to be.
Don't let pride get in your way.
Write it down.
I make my to do list the night before, so that when I get up in the morning, it's all ready for me and all I have to do is just get right to work.
Saves me a lot of time.
What you want to do with your list is organize it according to priorities.
You want to put the things that are most important at the top of your list and do them first.
The obvious reason is because they are the most important things.
But there is another reason, and it's something many home business owners don't think about.
See, as the day goes on, you begin to get tired.
Eventually, your production either slows down, gets sloppy, or you just don't feel like working any longer.
Happens to me too and I've been at this for over five years now.
So get the important stuff done first, just in case you decide to take the evening off.
Another thing you want to do is organize your computer.
Windows Explorer is a great little tool.
What I do is make separate folders for each business I run.
And then, in each folder, I make separate sub folders.
For example, with my article writing business, I have a folder for articles, a folder for my sales page, a folder for my products and so on.
That way, I have no problem finding what it is I'm looking for.
Trust me, as you build your business, you will find that things pile up and it gets harder and harder to find stuff if you don't have it organized properly.
If you do these simple things, you'll find that you'll get more done in your day than you normally would.
