How Do You Define Productivity?

When you’re productive, you finish something. That doesn’t mean that the total job is completed; it means that you’ve accomplished one or more tasks involved in that project.

To achieve success in your Internet Marketing business, think of productivity this way—being productive means:

- Making a list of what you want to accomplish today

- Creating an appointment time slot for each task you want to complete

- During the allotted appointment time, work only on that ONE task—WITHOUT INTERRUPTIONS!

- Place a check mark next to each item that you finish

It might sound like a rigid approach when you begin thinking about structuring your time and defining the tasks you want to accomplish.

But until you start doing this, it won’t become obvious how much time you’re wasting, and how you could be dedicating much of that time towards your own business success.

Here’s a quick exercise for you to employ. During one typical day, fill in the blanks below by listing your activities for each hour shown.
Nothing fancy. Just jot down a couple words. At the end of the day, measure your productivity. Did you accomplish one of your Internet Marketing tasks, or did you lose track of time on something that wasn’t productive?

Now, create a little appointment calendar for yourself for tomorrow.

Write an activity into each time slot. Stay focused. Don’t get distracted.

Stick to the schedule for one day. Then see if you were more productive when you scheduled your tasks than you were the previous day.

We all need to make a start at one point or another. Why not let it be a free place?
