You need a work scheduling program. If you are to succeed in the online jungle you must have a plan or attack! If you just haphazardly do whatever comes to mind next, you will find yourself unorganized and unproductive. There are many such work scheduling programs available on the Internet. Some of them are even free.

You may think that because you aren’t required to punch a clock that it isn’t necessary for you to have a schedule but you are wrong. The very fact that you don’t have to punch a clock or answer to a boss is the very reason that making a schedule for yourself is doubly important.

You need a starting time, you need scheduled breaks and you need a quitting time. It’s true that you can’t always stick to a schedule but you need to have one and do the very best you can to keep yourself on it. 

Many of these work scheduling programs come with a built-in ‘to-do’ list option. You do want that and you do want to use it. It is so very easy to get side-tracked when you are working at home. Staying focused and staying ‘on-point’ will make success come much easier and much faster.

Make Your Own Rules

Sometimes when you are making your way through the Internet jungle, it will appear to others that you are doing nothing more than sitting in front of your computer or talking on the telephone.

These other people are not the enemy....or at least they really don’t mean to be the enemy. They are your family and your friends. They don’t mean any harm but they can’t see where you have a real job.

After all, you don’t get up, get dressed, leave home, drive to a job and return home in the evening. They assume that you are unemployed and just amusing yourself on your computer.

This leads them to believe that you obviously have time on your hands and should be available to run errands for others, talk to them on the telephone or have a pot of coffee ready and be yearning for their company at any time of the day.

This is a problem that is closely related to scheduling your work except that is scheduling your working DAY. You need to lay down specific rules, make them perfectly clear to your family and friends and provide visual clues to them.

By ‘visual clues’ I mean that you need a specific work space....a separate room that is your home office would be the best...one with a door that can be closed and a separate telephone line that is only for business. If that isn’t possible, then a corner of a room that is used for other things but that has a door that can be closed can work. Have that business telephone line installed just as soon as you can swing it financially.

Your work day schedule should have:

Ø      A starting time

Ø      Scheduled lunch and coffee break times

Ø      A quitting time

When you are working your way through the internet jungle, you need to be totally focused on not only surviving but on thriving.
