Productivity EngineerInternet Marketing Tools to Enhance Your Productivity

I learned about programming and ftp long before any of us had ever heard of the internet or HTML. I was always into technology and used to run a BBS for customer support (for those that remember what that is.)
When my wife became a Realtor in 2007 she asked me to build her a website so I learned HTML. I had my hosting through a reseller who was also a blogging coach. I was dealing with some hosting problems when I was laid off from my job so I told the coach I needed a job and she told me she would pay me to help her recruit new clients.
Naturally I had to attend her coaching to learn what I was recruiting people into so I learned about blogging. What I didn’t learn was how to make money with it.
Through her coaching program I ended up studying under someone else who was copying several other “gurus” but wasn’t making any money. What I did learn from her was that there were a lot of people who wanted to be internet marketers but didn’t have the slightest idea how to accomplish the technical part that comes so easy to me.
I decided that I would use my technical skills to help people overcome their challenges in building an online business. I believe in the Zig Ziglar quote “You will get all you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want. ”
The first real money started coming in when I started using ad swaps to build a list. I was also building squeeze pages and back end offers for other people doing ad swaps.
After a while i lost interest in having to deal with so many scammy marketers and their brothers and wives and cousins who knew nothing but jumped on the adswap train when they saw how easy it was to make money selling worthless junk to ignorant newbies. It didn’t matter to them what kind of reputation they got because there were always more people entering the game. It mattered to me, though.
So then I was looking for other ways to find people who need help with their technical issues when I stumbled across Sweeva. I had seen a few TEs before that but they didn’t hold my interest long. Sweeva showed me that TEs could be interesting and even addicting and I went on to several other TEs from that point. I found the social interaction in many TEs was good for me to brand myself and find people I could help to build their online businesses. TEs also inspired my latest project called “Not Playing Around” to help people accomplish more in whatever online business they choose.

There are a lot of management techniques out there. A lot of authors have written on the topic of how to manage your time and get the most out of it. Most of the books written focused on business leaders and corporate executives.

Stephen Covey’s time management book, First Things First, is a well acclaimed book. His time management technique is focused on giving tips to individuals to do things effectively.

Let us take a look at Stephen Covey’s Time Management Matrix.

-FIRST QUADRANT (URGENT & IMPORTANT)

MANAGE / QUADRANT OF NECESSITY – Crisis – Medical emergencies – Pressing problems – Deadline-driven projects – Last minute preparation for scheduled activities

-SECOND QUADRANT (NOT URGENT & IMPORTANT)

FOCUS / QUADRANT OF QUALITY – Personal leadership – Preparation / Planning – Prevention – Values Clarification – Exercise – Relationship Building – True recreation / relaxation

-THIRD QUADRANT (URGENT & NOT IMPORTANT)

AVOID / QUADRANT OF DECEPTION – Interruptions and some calls – Some mails and reports – Some meetings – Many “pressing matters” – Many popular activities

-FOURTH QUADRANT (NOT URGENT NOT IMPORTANT)

AVOID / QUADRANT OF WASTE – Trivia, busywork – Junk mail – Emails – Time wasters – Escape activities – Viewing mindless tv shows

There are 24 hours in a day. Eight hours is for sleeping and the next 16 hours are for our usual schedule. In Stephen Covey’s time management book (First Things First), he noted that most of us spend our 16 hours in the third and fourth quadrant, the quadrant of deception and waste.

If you will really look at our daily activities, Stephen Covey is actually right. Most of us spend hours watching tv, reading unimportant emails, answering calls, and other things that actually does not help us accomplish anything.

Stephen Covey’s time management is a great tool that can help us finish more important things before a day ends. You just have to focus yourself and experiment with the quadrants and how it can help you. In getting things done you have to set your mind on what you will do. The activities in the first quadrant need to be managed in the best way that you can. Focus on the Quadrant of Quality and Personal Leadership because this can help you achieve your goals faster.

The last two quadrants should be avoided as much as possible. The third quadrant looks deceiving, it may look important but it is not. While the fourth quadrant will never help you get things done.

How we manage our time is all up to us. Whatever the consequences of our actions might be, we only have ourselves to blame.
