If something is left unfinished, you are to transfer it to the top of the next day list. A to-do list is the best thing to stay focused and concentrated and to manage to do everything in time.
3) Set aside time to market yourself. Promoting your business is essential, so schedule time for whatever it is that you do to bring in new customers. Use, for example, the first hour of the day to make phone calls to potential clients, send out emails, etc., before you get busy with all your other business.
4) Assign a special place (your working place so to say) where you will dedicate your time only to your business. Better it will be a separated room where you won’t find all the distractions to your business: the kids, the fridge, the TV, the solitude. Don’t allow these things to penetrate your place when you are working. Explain to your family that your workspace is different from your home space and don’t allow them to disturb you when you are ‘at work’.
