Are you a home-based business owner with all the ambitions and goals of earning a full-time income, or even a six-figure income but are having trouble getting ahead and getting all the things done on a daily basis that it takes to make it big? If you said yes, then you are in luck, because there are plenty of strategies that you can apply to your home-based business that can help you achieve more in one day that you are currently achieving in a week.If you hope to build a successful business from home using the Internet, then you will have to master the art of time-management, so let’s take a look at three important tricks you can use to increase your productivity and significantly decrease the time it will take you to achieve massive success with your home-based business:Trick #1 – The law of time expansionThere is a law that states that whatever you are doing will fill in the time that you allow for the task at hand. So if you are in the process of writing an ebook, and you have given yourself 14 days to write it, then this law states that it will in fact take you 14 days to write it. If on the other hand, you only allotted yourself only 5 days to perform the same amount of work, then you could likely do it in this time period. The great thing about this law is that you can essentially decide how little time you want to dedicate to each task, and you will be able to get it done in that time. So stop giving yourself two hours to do something that can be done in 30 minutes; turn off the T.V and get to work, and you will reap the rewards of running your own business much sooner.Trick #2 – Schedule breaks into your dayOne of the best ways to ensure you don’t burnout or become prematurely fatigued throughout the day is to set a time and take a 15 minute break every 2-3 hours. By scheduling in your breaks, you will keep yourself fresh and won’t hit a metaphoric “wall” by the early afternoon. This will ensure your productivity remains high and you progress faster in your business.Trick #3 – Create a “to-do” list everydayThe more “to-do” lists you create for yourself the more you will get accomplished and the less you will forget to do. Simply create a “to-do” list for the next day every night before going to bed, and you will be sure to move forward daily without forgetting to do the important tasks required for your success.
