Benefits - There are many advantages that come from being organized, especially if you work from home, or work online. In general you'll benefit by; saving time, saving money, saving space, living cleaner, and mainly just getting more done.



Hold it. Living cleaner?, but that's offline. Yes, it is. Remember the 30% I mentioned? Well one of the tips is something you do offline to improve online. Here it is...

Tip #1 - Make a list of the things you'd like to accomplish on paper first. The main tasks like; Installing a website, or clean your email inbox, typing a letter.Then after you have the main tasks written down, you can then break each task down into several subtasks to make the main task easier to accomplish.

For example, to install a website, there are several tasks that make up one objective. The sub tasks could be; finding a domain name, setting up hosting, uploading templates, filling in content, and then testing.

This process is quite easy if you have a ready made "task break down sheet". You'll be amazed at how fast, and simple projects become, if you work from home. This breakdown sheet can be easily made in xml or with grid paper. All you do is put your main goals/tasks on the top squares. Then fill in the subtasks into the squares below each main goal/tasks. You can call this the "next step" process.

Tip #2 - Work in time blocks - Everyone has different schedules, and it is easier to set aside blocks of time so you can accomplish certain tasks.

This simple method of organizing your time can help if you have many different tasks or, "there just enough time in a day". The task breakdown sheet can work for this as well. Just remember to take breaks in between.

Tip #3 - Write things down right away. Keep a pen and notepad with you, so you can quickly jot down ideas when they come to mind. The ideas you write down could save you a lot of time, as you won't forget to do things you needed to do. For this I write 4 columns.

1) Home,

2) Errands,

3) Waiting,

4) internet
