Time management is key to almost everything we do in life. When I first started working from home in my internet business in 2005, managing my time became crucial to my success. I find that this can be easily accomplished, once you understand how it all works.
We all have the same 24 hours each day; it’s how we organize our life and business that makes the difference. For example, when I work from my home computer I do not have to commut back and forth to a job. This gives me about 15 extra hours each week, because of my particular situation. You may be saving more or less time than that.
I use this additional time to blog and write articles that market my business. Every day I spend about one to two hours writing articles, short reports, and blog posts to make the most productive use of my time. It is important that you use those hours that used to be dedicated to commuting for something that will grow your business.
Two years ago, when I realy started creating products and setting up websites with my own products and resale rights products, I once again found myself running out of time. This time I chose to outsource much of the work that was taking so much time. Outsourcing is the process of hiring other people to do the part of your internet work that you don’t like to do or don’t know how to do. Once I was willing to spend some money every week to have other people help me, my income increased and I found that I had more free time.

How true this is!
It is so easy to get distracted by a new shiny thing and what i find helps is to have a timetable of stuff that I must do every week. e.g. my blog posts, twitter, educating myself. I use the timetable just like a school timetable and I find it works for me.
