Before I go deeper into my ‘dissertation’ about writing my business plan, I fell the urge to talk about self-organization.
If you are a stay-at-home mom/dad or have a job and have decided to start your own business, make sure to determine your priorities.
Write achievable goals and give them a deadline. Create a schedule that is realistic and most important: follow through!
I am constantly looking for new ways to stay focused. Everywhere you click online you find interesting facts and tales. It is very easy to get distracted.
Make a to-do list with a time frame before opening your web browser or email. I set up my timer to 15 minutes each time I start a new task. It keeps me from wandering off. If I am not done by the time the alarm sound, I just go to the next task.
Sometimes I have the same to-do list for a week! But I get it all done when I need to. If I concentrate on one item for hours everything else tends to pile up. Even if I finish that one task after all that time it feels like I didn’t accomplish anything. I get that horrible, overwhelmed feeling of time wasted and it takes a while for me to recover.
Here is some information on self-organization that I think hits the spot:

Just counting on having a brilliant idea is not a good enough strategy. You need to have the drive and the focus to achieve success.
