I do have plans in life and in my online career, but I find it difficult to start cause it seems like I’m lacking knowledge about the field I’m into right now. Aside from it, I really don’t follow schedules. It’s really the most difficult task for me, following my schedule. I hope this can help me be more productive from now on.

I am a stay at home who just began to work on the internet. This is something extremely helpful for me. I just wish I found it earlier. LOL.

Yearly to Quarterly to Monthly to Weekly to Daily. Huh. Here’s another overly used phrase PACKED with truth…..easier said then done.

This post holds a lot of meaning for me personally. I’ve always been a “fly by the seat” kinda guy, with serious longing to NOT be.

I get all excited from time to time, do the planning thing, and it works great! for a month or so at a clip.

I’m really going to look into this; it may indeed be the answer.

Great post Jackie, agree with you totally on goals and planning sheets. But do you allow for time-consuming things like an email from PotPieGirl (who I have learned to listen to, and respect) heavily promoting something like ‘Plug & Play Niche’. Do you take time to check it out – either now or later in the day – and then spend time deciding if it’s for you or not? Or David Risley offering you a free 60 odd page report which you feel you must have. And then spend the time to print it out for reading, and possible ongoing actioning? Then there is a thing you briefly refer to called LIFE. You obviously spend time on this, having Hanna, a husband, and a home. How do you build this into you Plan? I know that if a branch falls off a tree, it’ll fall on on electric fence. At least 1 hour to fix! Apart from daily grooming, animals need exercise & attention. This can take several hours. And so on!!! I’m not disagreeing with you, but in comments to your posts, I hear nothing about this sort ‘distraction’ from a planned path from those commenting. I’d very much like to hear from you and your members like me, just how they build all these factors into their LIFE and their schedule.
(I know there are many out there who are building the IT working activity around full-time and part-time employment. I admire them for this and I don’t know quite how they cope).

Jackie, it is a long post because you had so much to say … and you said it all well because I could sense your excitment!

It’s been an eventful 10 days for me! soon after I committed to the
72 hours launch a product challenge, I woke up to a computer crash …
after further checking the diagnosis was total HD and motherboard
destruction … with no backup!

So I was faced having no one to blame but myself besides losing everything I had! Anyway my IT guy got me in a reconditionned Dell
with much more GB than I had before and a yearly subscription to an online backup system.

My online google and comcast webmail systems had important information saved in folders and I’ve busy getting duplicates of free or paid stuff I downloaded this year.

Off course all that has set me back and also made me take a good look at what I had been doing this past few years … Like you I have a strong sense of having lost a lot of time “doing things” at the computer and NOT enough focused efforts at my “need to make an income” to supplement my SS …

Your latest posts are helping get some clarity … helping a lot Jackie, thank you

Talk about my post being long, your reply was almost as long.

It really does make a difference, and believe me I’ve tried to just wing it so I don’t have to feel committed… but it makes a huge difference. Can’t wait to hear how the planners work out for you. AND congrats on all you’ve done recently. You’re on a roll!!

Wow, that was long!

But, necessary. You have me sold. I FINALLY had a nicely made spreadsheet that I used this week. I was incredibly more focused then usual and got a LOT more done in a LOT less time! It was amazing.

I simply listed tasks and the amount of time I wanted to spend on them for each day. Things like… newsletter/free report, facebook, twitter, posts/videos, e-mail, blog optimization/monetization, UTribe, etc.

I still got off task a little bit, but WOW it made a HUGE difference! I FINALLY got my newsletter set up… and guess what?!?!? I got 5 subscribers in the first 30 hours! This is WITHOUT a free report being offered and WITHOUT promoting that I have a newsletter. I will be making a video asap and place right underneath the opt-in form. And, the more subscribers I get the more motivated I become to get my free report done. My goal is to have it complete by the end of next week. It’s not going to be your ordinary free report

Oh, and I really connected with you when you said…

“I used to feel if I wasn’t sitting at the computer I wasn’t going to make any money. The thing is… I wasn’t taking many money making actions so even if I sat here for 16 hours a day (which I did) it didn’t really make much of a difference to my bottom line.”

I FELT THIS EXACT SAME WAY!! Then, one day, my sister motivated me like never before. She put me on this challenge (Jackie you know what I am talking about) and I am beginning to ATTRACT the things in my life and business that I need to in order to make the money I need to make in order to complete the challenge by July 1. Part of the challenge is to rank in the top 100,000 on Alexa by July 1… I am well on my way I like to set BIG goals!

Well, this comment is a novel… You just got me super excited Jackie! Thanks

I hope you have a wonderful weekend! I am buying the organizer immediately and will be ready to plan out my week, month, quarter, and year.

Jackie,

I am a list maker too – it drives my husband crazy – but I love the feeling of marking off items on the list. It truly helps me to stay on task and feel like I am getting somewhere.

I haven’t thought of the idea of using a day planner for my business, but I think I’m going to check into it. Instead of having a “list” in my mind for my business tasks that need to be done and goals that need to be met… it would probably help me feel more productive.
