7 Ways To Win "The Time Crunch" By Ken Leonard Jr. ©2002 KLJ Online Are you working a "day job" while building your home-based "dream business"? Do you find it difficult to manage your time? Follow these seven tips to get more done growing your business, and have time for other important things in your life, too. (1) Make and use a 'to-do' list daily. It's easy. Write down tasks you need to do for today (or for tomorrow). Now, do them. Any that aren't done are placed at top of tomorrow's list.

Make note of your 'free time' (non-day job time) and set a block for each major thing that you need to do. Save most involved tasks for your more fresh, alert time of day. Try your best to adhere to schedule, but be flexible. Don't stress out when you run out of time and are off schedule. Over time you will know how much time a task will take to complete, and can plan for it better. Remember, this is only a tool for you to set time for what you need to do. It's not intended to have a negative affect on you, but it could if you don't be realistic. (3) Do not disturb. Make sure that your most productive, task-filled period is free from interruptions. Close your office door if you have to. Plan to use this work time when household distractions will be at a minimum. When kids go to their grandparent's house. When your husband shoots pool with guys. When wife goes shopping. If you have to hang a sign on your office door, do it. You'll be surprised how much more you get done. (4) Make time for family. Quality time with your family should not be sacrificed in order to build your home business. If you make time regularly
