Have you ever had a day where you felt like you were working too many hours on your Online Marketing Business? What do you do when you feel burned out? Do you take time out of your busy schedule to go to the gym, play golf or go surfing? Or do you just keep on working until you finish the task?
I recently visited an online marketing forum to do some research to see what people had to say about this issue. Here is what I have to share with you after reading what people said about dealing with burn out.
Sometimes it is a good idea to take time out of your business to enjoy life. You need to reinforce the why in Online Marketing. It is very important that you don't work every day of the week and that you don't work so many hours in the day that you can't find time to eat or sleep. You need to have time to spend with your loved ones as well.
Taking a day off to rejuvenate is not a bad idea. I personally use Sunday as my day off since it is meant to be a day of rest and a day to think about what I could do better with my business. I work on my business during the other days of the week. But sometimes I still take a few hours off to go to the beach, or golfing.
You should set a schedule of what tasks need to be done and when they should be done. You might want to consider working on some parts of your business during certain times of the day. If you write articles, you might want to consider writing them in the morning time when your mind is clear and fresh instead of writing them in the evening after a long day.
You will want to do the tasks that require little brain power during the evening time when your brain is usually fried after a long day. Spend time visiting online marketing forums so that you can gather up different marketing ideas. I find evenings to be a better time to do that when I don't feel like doing any work that requires me to use my brain. This should also be a time to watch some motivational and training videos.
You should also consider outsourcing some of the more tedious and repetitive tasks so that you can focus on the more important stuff in your business. For Example, if you do article or video marketing, you might want to consider purchasing some software that will automate the process of distributing your articles and Videos to different websites. There are many different article and video submission services that you can use to distribute your content to different website so that you don't spend all day doing it.
If you work too hard and spend too much time doing repetitive tasks, you will get so burned out that you will want to quit. But by taking some time out of your business and outsourcing the more monotonous and repetitive tasks, you will prevent yourself from getting burned out in your business and will be able to stay motivated to achieve your goals.
