How You Can Create Short And Simple Schedules
December 31, 2007
I was thinking about a question one of my subscribers did mention about a week ago and went to doing just that for every reader here.
While I’m not a really organized person myself I do preset my daily schedules either in the morning of the day itself or just the night before.
Since it could beneficial if you could copy what I’m doing certainly the best way would be to take it easy and create your own schedule that fits your personality.
As you can see from my schedule on the left.
What is apparently obvious is that I’m pretty much a laid back person by nature. I don’t use complicated “mind mapping” tools or anything of that sort.
Also, I initially used my A4 sized papers to note my activities instead of the PC.
Hence, the pretty shallow notepad details.
The activities on Thursday is pretty much a relaxation day because my wife is available Friday for the whole day. So, I took this chance to spend some time with her. Of course, playing PS2 was done by myself alone
Also, there are a few thing such as my Saturdays which I don’t post because that is the day which I handle “out of schedule” things like emails and my marketer friend replies.
Now, don’t get me wrong, its not like I’m not willing to show it to you just that my schedule changes almost everyday. It does because sometimes good ideas come to you in the shower, when you’re eating breakfast… almost anywhere at anytime!
For instance, I get a good idea about one sentence about a header for my sales page then I’d go and do that almost immediately and end up overriding the other activities. Why?
This is because ideas come in a flash and I’m convinced that if you don’t immediately write it down then it will be a lost. So, instead of the conventional write it down and do it later attitude, I took it one more step further which is to do it NOW

In short, getting your own schedule done can be a step by step thing. There’s no need to list your entire week or months worth of activities when you first start out. All it does is that it keeps you up to your toes on what you have NOT done.
Oh yes, before I forget sometimes I do work on Saturdays or even Sunday because out of curiousity I wanted to learn about something. Additionally, the time I spend on my marketing activities would be 1-2 hours per day on a normal “marketing workday”.
Happy “scheduling” for the new year ahead!

Hi,
This was good stuff to make a short schedule to follow,
nothing complicated just what one is in need of.
Thanks for sharing this.
Warmly,
Ulla

Hi Ulla,
Some of the activities are pretty detailed as much as I can write down.
The smaller ones such as which article directories to submit to and which forum to visit really depends on your preference.
Glad to know it helps. I was thinking of making a spreadsheet or some worksheet for you and the others. Depends on my schedule
Cheers,
Vern

Hey Vern,
That’s pretty good. i do that too, on paper and pen. i did that occasionally and the worst part is sometimes i follow-up, yet sometimes i just leave it there to rot.
Recently, i came across an interesting website. It is http://www.tadalist.com/ You lst out those things you want to finish, and put a tick after it is done. There is another one by Yahoo, but i don’t have the link. Cheer and take care.
