Time Management System

Guest post by: Ron Edmondson

Article Overview: Now all you have to do is work your plan. You will be surprised how powerful this can be. For me, I like to cross off the items as I complete them and I like to schedule the difficult “have to” tasks first. That makes the end of my week work so much better.

Time Management System

If you aren’t doing so already, I want to encourage you to plan your week for efficiency. Every Monday (or Sunday night if you prefer), as the first thing you do, consider the week ahead. Follow this formula:

1.Write down what do you hope to accomplish for the week. What do you need to accomplish? Write them in a prioritized order.

2.Make a plan of attack. If you are going to accomplish your objectives this week, what specifically needs to get done? Write those under each objective in a sequential way. If it seems overwhelming, then use the Hezekiah approach; take your piece of paper, lay it out before God, and say, “God, if this week is to work, it will be up to you to complete it.” (2 Kings 19:14-19)

3.Assign an approximate, realistic time to each item on your action plan.If there isn’t enough time in your day if you do this truthfully and realistically then you are attempting to do too much.If you don’t have anything to assign time to perhaps you aren’t pulling your weight.

4.On your calendar, schedule the time to complete each task.

Now all you have to do is work your plan.You will be surprised how powerful this can be. For me, I like to cross off the items as I complete them and I like to schedule the difficult “have to” tasks first. That makes the end of my week work so much better.

I’ve seen lots of time management models similar to this before and you can adapt this to your own plan or find another one, but the key is to plan your week so you can be more productive and less stressed.Try this for a couple of weeks and see how it goes.

No B.S. Time Management - A great book I read on Time Management is No B.S. Time Management for Entrepreneurs by Dan Kennedy.
Marketing Your Software To The Public - Hello! Over the past few months I have been experimenting with no cost ways to effectively market our "Time Management" software. We have created two products. The one solution is geared towards lawyers with special features to handle accounts for The Office of the Children's Lawyer and Legal Aid. For those lawyers who deal with these accounts you will know what i talking about. Other software developers have been contacted but none have included such features in their products claiming that the market was too small. The other product we have created can be configured to work for almost any time related business. With the "Profiling System" you could virtually run any number of business form just one copy. We have been talking all advice from the wonder people who have taken the time to provide us with their advice. From this we have come up with the following results: We sent over 60,000 directed email newsletters - received 7 inquiries and 9 downloads. We have listed our company on over 40 business promotion websites. - traffic increased slightly We sent up developer account with Esellerate to enable us to sell our products online. Once the financial transaction has completed the purchaser can download the software immediately. Other affiliate resellers have are also promoting our products. - Awaiting sales We have posted our products on over 400 repositories as shareware. We can do this because we have a 90 day trial period. We have further, created links to many of the higher traffic sites and have increased traffic to our site. - In the past 2-1/2 months we have received over 10,600 downloads. I hope this information proves useful to other small developers trying to get a start. Boomer
