HOW TO ORGANIZE YOUR TIME to
EARN EXTRA MONEY

I don’t know of anyone who wouldn’t like to earn extra money. The problems most people have are – lack of time and the coming up with an idea of how to begin an extra money-making project.

While it seems like life is faster than ever and we are all busy, we can all find extra time. The first place to find extra time is to shut off the TV. I know it may be hard to turn off “Desperate Housewives” or the Monday night game, but it’s not forever. You may have to change some of your hobbies temporarily like having a few beers with the guys, but if you do well with your new project to earn extra money, you will have enough time to do whatever you want to.

Let’s get started!
Get a pencil and paper or your computer out.
Make a list of everything you do each day. You will probably find an extra few hours per day that you can use for your new project. As I just said above you may have to sacrifice in the short-term for the long-term goals of extra money.

Time Management

• If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. Plan your days in advance. Spend 15-20 minutes at the end of each day planning your next day. Include your appointments, work schedule, and errands. Try to be efficient with your time. Organize your trips to take care of many things as you can.
• Do you spend too much time browsing the net? Reading emails? Talking on the telephone? Eliminate the unimportant things you do.
• Leave time for emergencies.
• Set realistic goals and deadlines.
• Learn to say NO. Many of us take on more than we should. Consider each request for your time and determine if the value of doing it is worth it to you.

Mail
Don’t let a piece of paper cross your desk more than once. Take care of your mail as soon as you get it. Take care of each piece as it comes, whether you need to throw it in the garbage, file it, answer it, or pay it.

When you start listing, planning, then taking action, you are going to be surprised at how much extra time you have available to you. Some people find routines or schedules disagreeable for their current lifestyle, but without some kind of plan, you will not be able to get very far.

Successful People
Financially successful people have some common traits. Following are some common traits I have witnessed in the successful people I have encountered.

1. They are organized.
2. They focus their energy and attention on their goals.
3. They take action.
   

Don’t Forget
Above all else, remember to schedule “Me Time.” Take time to relax and spend time with your family. Do not become so involved in your new project that you exclude the others in your life or neglect yourself or your extra income project is NOT worth it. The idea is to better your quality of life, not worsen it.

Take an honest accounting of your time. Where do you waste time? Organize your daily routine to maximize efficiency. You will be able to accomplish a lot more and relieve a great deal of stress.
