If you want to achieve that internet marketing lifestyle that you read about online, you need to think about how you can increase productivity while working at your business. The great attraction to working online and setting up an online business is so that you can work from anywhere you happen to find yourself. Online entrepreneurs have discovered that the internet offers a way to earn an income without having to work for someone else in an office and commute to work each day. Earning your living this way means you can be more flexible and work into your schedule other activities that involve your family.The internet is flooded with many business opportunities which promise or infer that an instant internet lifestyle is a reality when in fact no such opportunity exists. Setting up an online business requires effort and hard work especially when you first start out online. Thereafter things do become easier but you still need to be marketing for sixty to eighty per cent of your time. If you increase productivity in such a way that you can get those marketing tasks done in less time, then you will have time available to do the things you have dreamed of doing. That was the reason you set out to build an internet business, but you will only achieve that if you discover how to increase productivity and focus on the tasks you need to do to move forward.We increase productivity when we get things done in a shorter space of time. This fact then brings up the question of how do we get more things done in less time? In order to do more productive tasks we need to set up tools and systems that keep us organized at work. This involves managing our tasks with a “to do” list and a tool for storing and retrieving information. I have always written my “to do” list on a piece of paper, and used files to record important information that I need, until I discovered better productivity tools on the internet that were free to use.While “to do” lists and notebooks are nothing new to many of us, if they are used to maximum effect can greatly enhance and increase productivity for us. For example, do you find that your work is constantly being interrupted when you think of something you need to do later, or your focus is lost when you phone rings or you remember an errand you need to do? When these little reminders come into our minds we lose focus. We stop what we are doing and turn our attention to that task. When you get back to your desk or computer, it takes time to get back into your work again.When I discovered Gqueues I was able to quickly go in and schedule a task for that item that popped into my head and then immediately continue with my work. The result was that my head was cleared of the reminder and I knew I had dealt with it in a way that I would be reminded about it when I reviewed my tasks later in the day. Gqueues helps me to set up a system that takes control of my tasks, allows me to review them when I need to, and presents me with a set of the most appropriate tasks I need to do.To record reference information I use Evernote. It acts as my online notebook where I store all kinds of information and that way I will not forget anything. Both of these productivity tools can follow you where ever you go as they can be accessed on your mobile. Productivity tools like these can help you to keep track of the information that you will need and manage your tasks so that you keep doing the most important ones to build your business online.
