If you're one of these people that thinks that you just don't have the time to spare to get your home business up and running then you need to be honest with yourself. You're one of thousands, if not millions, who feel this way. I talk to lots people who feel that their daily schedules are just too full and that they don't have enough time to do it. They end up defeting themselves and their home business looses momentum and suffers before they even get it off the ground.
Do you feel that your family obligations, full or part time job, maintaining your health and various other distraction are the prime reasons for not gaining momentum for your home business? Do you feel that your life is spent taking care of everybody else's needs?
I do have some good news for you though! It is possible to uncover and maximize time to build that home business that you've dreamed of. All that's required is to find the time and commitment to use that time faithfully for your home business. By following the techniques I'm about to reveal you should start to see your home business prosper
.
Your Daily Routine Needs to be Written down:
1. The number one thing to take care of is to sit down in a quiet place and write down your every day schedule. From the beginning of your day to the end time your events such as getting ready to go to work, getting the kids ready for and to school, your commute to your job, extracurricular activities and other weekly commitments that you have in your schedule. Include your weekends too along with family time because time with family is most important.
Upon finishing this task you'll have a good picture of what your work week involves. Then you'll be able to see open blocks of time in your week. To make your goal easy look for 2 hours that you can dedicate to your home business. You should be able to re-priortize some of your time.
Stay On Your Schedule & Then Re-Evaluate It:
2. Next on your list is to stay on your new schedule. This might be difficult as you're creating a brand new habit. When you've gotten the hang of your new routine you then need to re-evaluate your schedule to see if you can find more time to spend building your home business.
Discipline will be needed on your part to stay on your new schedule so this means that you'll have to find a way after your work day is done, the kids are home from school, taking the kids to sports practice & games, dinner and getting the kids off to bed.
Remember that Family is Most Important!:
3. For me time with my family is very important. My daughter is a work at home Mom, like me, and is a full time Criminal Justice student who takes on full time duty as Mom to 3 little ones. We allj live together so my focus on my business is after the grandkids are in bed or in school during the day. For me these are the quietest times of the day.
If you have to spend your family time working on your home business make sure to let them know why you need to do this. You might want to say something like "Mom is doing this so we can go on a nice family vacation next Summer." Or "Dad wants to make sure we can pay for your football equipment next season." But I would advise setting a time limit in order to spend the quality time with your family that you want to and to provide a nice balance in your life.
Don't Fight Distractions:
4. You all are aware of the fact that life gets in the way. It can easily throw us off our routines. Do your best not to fight distractions. If your little ones won't get to sleep on time focus on quieting them down and getting them to go to sleep. Don't fret over what you could be doing as your work is still going to be there when you have time to get back to it.
If you are required to stay late at your regular job, then you can always work your home business a bit late. Focusing on just one undertaking at a time is the best route to go. It'll help you work more effectively and efficiently. In order to be most productive at your home business you need to have a lucid and guilt free mind.
Keeping a voice recorder nearby while working to record new ideas that might pop into your mind will help to keep you from being distracted. Later on it's easy to sit down and prioritize these new ideas. This tactic also keeps you from using up energy in not having to fight off distractions.
This is some great news in finding additional time to work at your home business. There's no need to feel overwhelmed or hopeless. Just keep in mind that you alone have full control over your time and you have full control to change your habits and gain momentum for your home business.
