How many times do you hear yourself say, I wish I had more hours in the day, or I dont have enough time. When you include sleep, can you honestly say that youve had a productive day and maximized all 1440 minutes allotted? Perhaps a quick glance at the evening news might turn into an hour. Maybe you planned on checking out one website, but find an interesting link and click on it, and then you continue clicking more links. Soon enough, you spent nearly two hours checking out travel deals and reading all the gossip news, and havent accomplished anything. Where did all the minutes go? We all have busy lives, and many of us are juggling full time jobs, network marketing, and raising a family. No wonder why we stress about not having enough hours. However, if you are to achieve that dream of time and financial freedom, you must find a way to increase productivity. Time is precious, and you must focus on income producing activities. These activities should include prospecting, follow-ups, and building new relationships with future prospects. So how do I ensure that I have enough time in the day to focus only on income producing activities? The best way is to first identify what main goals or results that are income producing, which are specific and measurable, you want to achieve in the day. For example, today, you want to speak to 3 prospects, connect with 25 people on Facebook, follow-up with 5 people, and write one article. This may sound like a lot of work and have no time to do it, especially when you factor in a full time job and raising a family. The best thing is to identify what hours in the day you have to complete these activities. If you have a typical 9-5 job, your available times include lunch and evening hours after 6pm, if you factor in the commute home from work. The next step is to break down your income producing activities into one hour time slots. Using the example of goals and results mentioned above, here is a sample schedule: 7-8am Commute to Office 8-9am Catch-up on e-mail, breakfast, coffee, etc 9-1pm Regular work hours 1-2pm Lunch (this is a great time to speak to 3 prospects. Should take about 10 minutes each) 2-5pm Regular work hours 5-6pm Commute home / dinner 6-7pm Facebook activity connect with 25 people Follow-up calls to 5 people 7-8pm Draft article 8-9pm Break / time with the family 9-10m Edit Article 10-11pm Plan for next day Try setting aside time at night to plan out your next day. Stick to a strict schedule over the next few weeks until it becomes routine. By being disciplined and sticking to the schedule, you will increase your productivity and reduce the chances of wasting time, like surfing the Internet for hours, or watching TV. This will put you one step closer towards achieving financial and time freedom.About the Author:
