You need a simple, but deadly effective time management system.

Today, I'm going to share my system with you. It enables you to be productive day after day and getting an amazing amount work done on the fly.

Simple Time Management for Small Business…

I'm sure you know about the 80/20 rule. Most people get 20% of the things done in 80% of the time, and 80% of the things done in 20% of the time. And if you're like me, and you get most things done in the morning, then make sure you get 80% of your work done in the first 20% of the morning. And remember to do the "To Do" items on your list you fear, first! Then do the fun items!

This has improved my productivity by over 300%, because I always get most of the important "To Do" things done for the day.

The first thing I do when I plan my day, is to enter the tasks that I want to do into a software called the Journal. You can find this software at http://www.davidrm.com. With this amazing software you can enter your "To Do" list for the day, organize your notes about any topic you can think of, and write short stories and articles. In short, I use it for for any information I need to record and remember.

For example, if I need to jot down great information about a specific topic, I put it in the Journal. If I plan to do a specific project, I also put it in the Journal. So as you can see, the Journal simply represents all the information, planning, and goal setting I need to keep track of — in one place. My information is organized and I'm able to stay focused on my tasks ahead.

Time Yourself for Best Results…

I then use XNote Stopwatch to time me for 55 minutes while I do a specific task. I then take a break for 10 minutes, and then do the next task for another 55 minutes. These tasks are not set in stone as far as the length of time is concerned. I could also do a task for 45 minutes and break for 15 minutes if I'm not feeling good on that particular day. The main point though, is that I do the most important task of the day first, which guarantees that I'm getting things done day-by-day.

When I start my highly productive system on a particular day, it works as follows. I close my eyes and imagine how I'm getting the task done with speed and accuracy… And I see the great results I got from my actions. This only takes a few seconds.

I then open my eyes, set the time in XNote Stopwatch, and get cracking with my task for the next 55 minutes. Remember to be focused. Don't surf the Internet, don't call anyone and don't do anything else but this task for the next 55 minutes. I do this cycle at least four times a day.

Can you now see that you have to be productive, because you get 80% of your most important tasks done at the beginning 20% of everyday?

The beauty about the system is that you don't have to force yourself to work. You simply set your most important  tasks you want to do the beginning of the day, and do them before you do anything else.

Create your own system and you'll be an action taker instead of a procrastinator.
