\"Managing<\/a>As I’ve been working on the Partnership To Success programme, I have noticed that some days I accomplish a lot more than other although I seem to be working just as hard every day!I think it has something to do with my forward planning and the way I structure my day so I have been considering different ways to make each day as productive as the previous and the next.<\/p>\n

To that end, I’ve been reading a number of blog posts from different members of the programme and seeing how others manage their time to maximise their days and I have come up with my own version to give me the best working environment. I am working on trying to stick to this schedule for the next few weeks until I fly off to my holiday apartment in Florida for a well earned rest for my wife in the school half term.<\/p>\n

I’ve noticed some people allocate certain times each day for certain tasks, but I find this a little constrictive for my working schedule especially, as\u00a0 currently a house husband until I can get my next contract job, I have certain household chores to include in my work schedule. Tesco shopping on Thursday mornings, cleaning on Friday mornings and, of course, Orange Wednesday at the cinema on guess when!<\/p>\n

So I am setting myself a time period for a number of tasks, but allowing these to be carried out at any time of the day to work around the previously mentioned tasks and walking my dogs. I am also restricting my e-mail access to a couple of visits a day so that I do not “waste” too much time during the day on them!<\/p>\n

So my plan for my Partnership work is as follows:<\/p>\n

1 hour blog commenting – this will be my first task each day once I get up around 6:30am<\/p>\n

1 hour Facebook page and Twitter updates via Hootsuite<\/p>\n

1 hour blog creation<\/p>\n

2 hours product creation although this might expand we I move forward with it,possibly to the detriment of one or more of the other tasks<\/p>\n

Also I will apply 1 hour a day to managing the managers of my properties and sorting out any queries that have arisen in that area of my “business empire”.<\/p>\n

So I have a working day of 6 hours based on this plan so why don’t I seem to have any spare time every week!<\/p>\n

Well I am putting this plan into place from the 1st of May and will let you know by commenting below on how I find it and if it helps me improve my working day and allow me to be more focussed in my efforts to develop my own blog and internet business further!<\/p>\n

In this busy world, how do you manage all of your own personal\/business issues to take them all forward? Let me know below as it might help me out!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
