We’ve all heard the saying … “the most important thing you can do right now is to take action!” right? It is so true. With so many distractions on the Internet, your profiting ability will always suffer so long as distractions exist around you. I am not sure where i heard this, but they say that for every distraction causes a lapse of 11 minutes in time that is lost before before you are back on track.

It is pretty easy to see where your time can go.

Forward to basics as it has been referred to involves familiarizing yourself with a proven business mentality and most importantly treating your online business as such.

So how can you do this?

This is actually quite a simple thing but oftentimes difficult to implementing.

• Work on one thing at a time. Do not juggle tasks.
• Neatly organize your work! A great way for you to do this is by creating and using mind maps.
• Eliminate the unproductive things when you are working on productive tasks. Only do email once or twice daily. Close it otherwise.

A very good way to help lay out where your time is spent online on a daily basis is to ( as silly it as may sound ) keep records of everything you do online and how much time is spent. You can then later look at this information and cut back in areas where you are wasting time.

There is also a very nice tool online called Rescue Time that helps you with this: http://www.rescuetime.com

This lesson has been wonderful for me. Task managing is not easy for me when your todo list grows more and more each and every day.

Needless to say, i am impressed with the knowledge i have gained this week and i can honestly say that already i can see results in my productivity after implementing just a few of Alex’s suggestions and i would strongly suggest those who may be struggling themselves consider a different approach to their business operations.
