In 2020 many of us were thrown in to working from home. For many this came as a complete shock. If you have been used to a structured day which was determined by someone else then the change is stark. Perhaps time management is now more important in your life.
Some people have totally given up working for someone else and either through choice or necessity, have decided to become self employed. This means that you may be having to prioritize and structure your work day for the first time.
Time management is something that many of us are striving to improve in our lives. But really, if you think about it, it can’t be done. You can’t manage time, it is going to keep on rolling along whether you make best use of it or not.
Time is a great leveler. We each have 24 hours every day, and seven days each week. So it’s not time management you need; it is YOU management.
We don’t manage time, we manage activities within time.”
Bernard Clive
That quote, from the author Bernard Clive, is the truth. So although you may hear people talking about time management bear in mind that it can’t be done.
So having said that, what we need to do is make the best use of any time we have available.
In order to to get the most out of the time that you have available you need to be as productive as possible.
Do you fool yourself that you are busy getting things done when really you are busy doing nothing. Sometimes we look back at the end of a busy day and realize that not much has been accomplished.
So rather than being “busy doing nothing” we need to get rid of any unnecessary time wasters and focus on actual productive work. This way you’ll not only get more work done, but you’ll find yourself with more free time too.
Let’s take a look at how we can improve our time management and productivity by defeating 11 of the most common time wasters. These are easy to overlook and may creep up on you without you even realizing it.
Eliminate them and your life will not only become much simpler and more focused but you will be surprised how much more you get done.
What? I know, I hear you, every one tells you to make a to do list. But here is the problem.
Having a single to do list that you keep adding things to is not helpful. If you must make a list then it needs to be finite.
Once you have made a list of things to do, complete them first. If any new things come in, put them on a new list. Unless a task is extremely important, do NOT add it on your current list.
Then make sure you clear one to-do list first before moving on to the next one.
If you do a little from one list and a little from another, before you know it, you’ll have 5 lists with incomplete tasks on each one… or one list with so many things to do that just looking at it intimidates you.
The other issue with a to do list is that it often gets buried under a pile of papers. A digital, online can be even worse as you actually have to remember to open it.
A much better solution is a Kanban board. Lets see how that helps.
A Kanban board is based on the system that originated in Japan at the Toyota manufacturing plant. Start using this in your life and see how much more you get done.
One of the major advantages of using a board is that you put it somewhere that you see every day. The process begins by deciding on the tasks of a single project that you need to complete in the coming week.
The Kanban board has different columns allocated to the different stages:
As you work on each task, you move the card or post-it-note across the board.
Having the completed tasks column can be incredibly motivating. You have a visual reminder of how much you have achieved during the week.
The success of the system relies on deciding what to do first. Deciding on priorities is vital.
You need to decide in advance what the most important task is that you want to accomplish. Make a plan and stick to it. Once you’ve made the decision to work on something don’t start thinking about other projects.
Finish what you have started. By being focused, not only will you save mental energy, but your work will be better, easier and be finished sooner.

Another problem that occurs if you use a simple to do list is that you may be tempted to keep doing the smaller tasks. This can make you feel better because the list is getting smaller. You may get a feel good factor from crossing items off but are they moving you towards your goals?
It’s a problem if it means that the bigger and more important ones are continually put off. This can mean that you end up rushing the jobs that deserve more time and not giving them the attention they need.
You need to prioritize and finish the most important tasks first even though they will take more time. The less important work can be done later.
The Kanban board solves this as you decide in advance on the priorities of the jobs.
As we’ve already said you should only work on one thing at a time. That means no multitasking.
This goes beyond flitting from one project to another. It includes things like checking your social media and even stopping to make a coffee. Concentrate for the time you have allocated to each job.
These focused time periods should be around 40 or 50 minutes. Then you should stop for a 5 or 10-minute break. This is the time to get up, move around and take a rest.
These short breaks are important. They will give your mind a brief rest and you can work for longer periods without getting exhausted.
Don’t let others dump extra work on you. This can be a problem in the workplace or at home. They may tell you it’s only a small, quick job and expect you to agree. Their reasoning is that it’s easy and you’re so helpful, it shouldn’t be a problem.
If it happens occasionally, it may not be an issue. But if you find that people start taking advantage of your kindness it can become a problem. All those little tasks soon add up and you will not get your own work done.
You should complete your own tasks first and then decide if you have time to do the odd favor or two. If you can’t, then you need to be assertive and tell your colleagues or family that you just don’t have the time.
Even if you have allocated time to focus on your most important task you may find that other people will cause interruptions to your best laid plans. Make sure that your colleagues or family members know that you are working and don’t want to be interrupted.
Phone calls, text messages, colleagues popping in to make small talk, etc. are all interruptions. Minimize them and you’ll get more work done.
If you are working at home then ideally have a work area that is in a separate room.
Once a job is complete move on to the next task. I know how difficult this can be as I have a tendency towards perfectionism. With many things “good enough is good enough”. It’s easy to always find something to improve but one of my favorite mantras is
Don't get it perfect, just get it goingClick To TweetSometimes our desire to keep trying to improve something is because we don’t actually want to put it out in the world. If it’s a creative work then you need to accept that really there is no such thing as perfection.
If a job’s worth doing, it’s worth doing well….but, not at the expense of getting going.
If something has been done one way for ages then don’t change it just for the sake of change. Maybe there is a reason that it has always been done that way. In some business environments there seems to be a tendency for committees to want to change things every so often. maybe it gives them a reason for being.
Now obviously there is nothing wrong with looking for more effective ways to do things but changing things can cause it’s own problems.
Apart from peoples’ natural resistance to change, getting used to a new system may well cause delays. It takes time to adjust to new ways of working especially if they have been ingrained for years.
Having one project with a plan of action should suffice. All you need to do is work the plan. Do not have plans on your calendar, plans on your laptop, plans on your refrigerator, etc.
Over-planning leads to confusion and too many points of reference. One plan – work it. That’s all you need.
If you have taken the Kanban system onboard, this won’t be a problem
Set aside blocks of time dedicated to specific tasks. Instead of clearing emails throughout the day as and when they come in, set an hour aside to clear all emails. After that, get back to the other tasks.
It’s a good idea to leave your email session to later in the day. Start on your most important task first thing in the morning. This will avoid you getting distracted by side issues that come up in emails.
Leaving emails until late morning will mean you have already accomplished important work. This should give you a boost of confidence and inspiration.
Working from home has many advantages but also brings with it some challenges.
Give these 11 points a try and eliminate these time wasters from your working day.
These time management tips should help you streamline your working day until you’re at your most efficient.

There are numerous social media platforms that you can choose from, but which is the best social channel for marketing a business? Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn all have their place. Recently it seems many people favour Instagram but here is a question that you need to consider “is Pinterest better than Instagram for business“. There are good reasons to think so, read on to find out why.
Instagram is owned by Facebook which does as much as it can to keep people on its websites. Fact is, FB has built one of the most profitable companies in the world by selling our attention and eyeballs to advertisers.
The whole culture of Pinterest is linking AWAY from their site. In fact you can link directly from Pinterest to your sales pages, opt-in pages, ecommerce listings, affiliate offers, blogs and / or podcasts.
Literally, with Pinterest, you can generate traffic and send it to just about anywhere you want.
Now it is true that Pinterest can’t compete with Instagram when it comes to the number of people on the platform. Indeed, Instagram has about 1 Billion users, versus the 250 Million on Pinterest.
But Instagram makes it extremely difficult to get clicks. That high volume of traffic means nothing unless it benefits you. Pinterest is set up to generate targeted clicks from people who are already interested in your niche or subject matter and many of them have a high buyer intent as we shall see below.
According to an article on WebFX, the average longevity of social media posts on different platforms is as follows:
Some Pinterest pins bring traffic for years after pinning. Show me another platform that you can say that about. If you pin seasonal content like Halloween or Valentine’s Day one year, then it will often gain popularity and bring traffic in following years.
Instagram attracts many browsers. People often go there to explore a bit, look at their friends or artists profiles, and relax. So it’s very much a “personal brand” kind of platform, suited to influencers and celebrities. They don’t usually go with the intent of buying something.
Pinterest, on the other hand, is where people go when they start planning to do things. In fact, Pinterest is primarily a search engine.
They search for things, make shopping lists and save pins for future purchases. For example, newly engaged people go to Pinterest and search for ideas for their wedding months in advance.
48% of Pinterest users log on because they want to buy something. There is no other social network that comes close to being full of people who are ready to buy. The closest competitor is Facebook at 14%.
That means that Pinterest has 3x the buyers of its closest competitor.
If you are a celebrity and you are the “product” then Instagram may be a good choice for you. However if you sell any kind of physical products, training programs or have a business to promote, then Pinterest is your best bet. You can use Pinterest for affiliate marketing also not just your own products.
In fact you can use Pinterest for many purposes to grow a business. Here are a few examples:
Did you know that the majority of Pinterest users earn over $75,000 a year? Pinterest users spend more than anybody else on any other social network. The average order value is $50, by far the highest amount for any social network.
And 91% of Pinterest users say that it’s a positive place, where they enjoy spending time.
So put the two together and you have a marketer’s dream.
Mention Pinterest to some business owners and you may find that is what they think. While it is true that weddings, travel and recipes are all huge topics and the majority of current users are female, the appeal is not limited.
I recently heard about Tom who saw this Pinterest training and decided to make a pin to promote his business. What was his business? He sells highly trained protection dogs.
He treated it as a bit of a joke, and titled his Pin “21 Reasons Why a Protection Dog Is Better Than a Man”
He wasn’t expecting much, posted it on his Pinterest board, and promptly forgot about it. In fact he had stumbled on combining 2 topics that always do well on Pinterest, animals and humour resulting in a lot of shares and impressions.
The result? Without doing any other marketing, he sold 2 of his protection dogs at $20,000 each. So $40,000 in sales from just one simple pin that he did in less than an hour. That’s a pretty good hourly rate!
I think you have to admit that Pinterest has many advantages over Instagram when it comes to promoting your business, And all of this comes at no cost apart from your time in producing some graphics and uploading them. Indeed you can embed a tool on your website to make the images pinnable and share them from your site. If you like Instagram then carry on but don’t forget that your goal in building a business should be to repurpose your content anyway. You can share your Instagram posts to Pinterest and get double the benefit.
I have a suspicion that you may well find that Pinterest is better than Instagram for business after all.

Have you ever wondered what is the best business to make money? Or if you already have a business, have you thought about what your real business actually is? In fact you may be surprised if I tell you that you should be in the same business as every other business. You see every business should be concentrating on the same goal. That goal is acquiring customers. Like many business owners you should consider using challenges to grow your business.
You probably have tried many different options and methods for how to launch, grow, and then scale your business online:
Build an email list, launch a funnel, run Facebook ads, create Instagram stories, launch a YouTube channel, write a book, start a podcast, make an idiot of yourself on Tik Tok or more recently, join Clubhouse rooms.
All of those will work to a certain extent but do you know the best way to get more customers and grow a business?
Using challenges has been shown to be the most effective way to acquire new customers online. Challenges have been used by some easily recognized names like Tony Robbins, Dean Graziosi, Ryan Levesque etc but also by many small business owners, coaches, consultants and entrepreneurs.
In fact, this method of acquiring customers works so well that many entrepreneurs that have run a challenge now focus on challenges as their prime marketing method. That’s because they have found that challenges outperform every other marketing method.
There are many reasons why that may be the case. It probably comes down to basic human psychology. as to why that’s the case.
Your goal when running a challenge to grow your business should be to create a movement and an environment where those goals we have identified are met with ease. You don’t need to be a big name in your industry to achieve this.
Sure we have identified some well known names above who now run challenges in order to scale their businesses. However, many others like you and me have used the same model to grow their businesses.
Louise is a Neuro-strategist and coach who helps high performers to break into their next season, shifting through money, sales, emotional and spiritual barriers. Louise brought in over 100K in her first challenge. She did this without any Ad spend using organic traffic.
Stephen and Chelsey were course creators but struggling to sell their courses. By using challenges they have started and are growing a movement of their own by helping hundreds of stay at home parents build online businesses across multiple industries around the world.
Click here to read the stories of people who have used the power of challenges to launch and grow successful businesses. But not just for making money but for creating movements. It’s ideal for non profit organizations also.
That’s the thing, the challenge model works in many different industries. It is a tried and tested method that works and can be repeated over and over again.
That’s all well and good but you probably have questions that need answering:
As with everything in life it makes sense to learn from someone who is successful in what you want to do. There is one person who is best qualified to answer your questions about using challenges to grow your business.
One person has been leading the movement towards using this as the best business growth method, and that person is Pedro Adao.
You may be asking “Exactly who is Pedro Adao, anyway” Good question. Pedro is now known as the Challenge Guy. So how can he benefit you? One of the best ways to discover the power of challenges is to, well, join a challenge. Makes sense, right?
Pedro has taken challenges to a whole new level and has personally consulted, trained, and coached thousands of entrepreneurs in his innovative and proprietary challenge model…
“I’ve been running challenges for years…but not like Pedro. We got with Pedro, got his help on our Start Over Challenge…and now we are crushing it with challenges not just in my company but also with Tony Robbins. Pedro has innovated a whole new challenge model…he brought challenges into the modern era.” – Dean Graziosi
If you want to begin using challenges to grow your business you should learn from the best.

Have you ever thought I want to make money online in my own home business? Sometimes these dreams get put on hold because life gets in the way. But you could still create a product as a Senior.
But age is not a barrier to making money online.
One of the most profitable ways to produce an income online is by creating your own products. Maybe this suggestion of creating a product surprises you.
You may think you are too old and who would want what you produce? Perhaps you have negative thoughts about whether you are smart enough. Well let’s get rid of those negative thoughts right now.
You are NEVER too old to create and sell your own products. There are literally millions of items that you could sell online. These could be digital information or physical products.
You could sell crafts on Etsy, infoproducts, books in the Kindle or KDP marketplace, print on demand products like mugs and hats in your own ecommerce store, etc.
You get the idea; there are many ways to start a business and create a product as a Senior. You just need to decide on one method and get started.
If you have no idea where to start in picking and researching a niche, I suggest learning from John on this free training.
With age comes experience. Let’s face it you probably have a wealth of knowledge to share with others. If you’ve been growing exotic veg in an allotment all your life, or you are a keen cook and have many recipe ideas there will be people who will pay to learn your success secrets.
You could put all your wisdom and nuggets of information into a book or video course and offer it for sale.
Maybe you are a dab hand at carpentry. You could sell plans for woodworking projects. A video course actually showing working techniques could sell well.
Great with crafts like knitting, crochet etc. You could actually sell your own creations on stores like Etsy or eBay.
Could you utilize your previous working skills? If you are a qualified nurse, you may be able to use your knowledge to help people with a particular complaint. Or maybe you suffer with a disease and have learnt good coping mechanisms. You would be helping people to share that knowledge.
If you were a teacher could you write guides to help parents with homeschooling? Wow, that’s a big market in lockdown.
Perhaps you are the product? If you have a skill that others would pay for you could sell services on a freelancing site like Fiverr or Upwork.
Before you begin you want to make sure there is a market for what you want to offer. You may want to write your autobiography because you have had an interesting life. That may be worthwhile for your family and future generations. However it will be a hard sell unless you are famous or already known in your area of expertise.
If you want to sell to the general population then you want to read a book that people will want to buy.
You can check how well similar products are selling in marketplaces like Amazon or eBay. If there are lots of customer reviews on the product listing then that is a good sign.
The product will undoubtedly have made many more sales because not many people bother leaving reviews. If your product is in a similar market , it will probably also sell well.
The same applies to digital products and services that you offer. Check on the platform’s like ClickBank or JVZoo to see what is in the bestseller lists.
As for services, you may can look on places like Fiverr to see what is on offer and what others are charging. You may decide to learn a new skill that is always in demand. Copywriting for instance sells at premium pricing.
If you have no history and reviews you will need to sell at a lower price to begin. There will always be people who can’t afford the top prices but will be willing to give you a chance. Make a portfolio of your work.
Many successful online marketing gurus will tell you that the more buy buttons you have out there, the more money you’ll make. It may be a numbers game but make sure you focus on just one until it is complete.
It’s true that the more products you have on offer, the more sales you’ll get. Maybe your first product will crash and burn but you will gain experience to put into the next venture. Don’t throw in the towel at that stage. Learn and make the next product you create better.
Provided you have made sure that there is a demand for what you are going to offer, then your only task will be to get people to see your offer. You could have the best product in the world but if nobody knows about it then you won’t get any sales. In order to generate traffic you will either need to buy it, borrow it or build it. Traffic generation is a topic for another day.
The other thing that every successful marketer will tell you is that the money is in the list. When you sell and create your own products or services you will be building your own email list of buyers. This is an asset that can make you an ongoing income if you monetize it well.
A small list of buyers is actually better than a list of thousands of freebie seekers. You can email these people with your own future products but also with relevant affiliate offers.
Note: This is one of the downsides of selling your book on Amazon as you won’t get the buyer emails. You can however have a link in your book that drives them to an offer on your own site, Have them opt in to your list for future offers.
If you want to make more money in business then you have 3 ways to do that. You either need more customers, to get each customer to spend more or to make those customers buy more often. That is why you need that email list.
It’s much easier to sell to an existing customer than it is to find a new customer. When you build a list of buyers who have already bought one of your products and loved it, they’ll be much more likely to buy whatever you create in future.
If you have sold 2 books you might have a list with a few hundred buyers. Guess who you’re going to email when your next book is available?
When you email your current buyer list many of them will buy your book because they like your writing style. You can tell them in advance when the book will be published. Then email them on the day to tell them it’s published. You’ll get sales fast from your buyer list which will please the Amazon algorithm and push you up the seller ranking.
Hopefully you now see that you are never too old to create a product. Product creation is the best way to start an online business to make good money. Affiliate marketing of other’s products is perhaps an easier option to start with but you will be building someone else’s business rather than your own.
When you create a product as a Senior it is more than just money. It can be easy in later years to think that you have less purpose in life. Starting a home business is a good way to top up your retirement income but will also be good for your mental health.
Learning new things is good to prevent cognitive decline. You could choose to learn a new language or do cryptic puzzles. But if you decide to create a product of your own you can boost your income at the same time. So, put your wisdom and experience to good use and unleash your product line on a market that’s waiting to buy from you.
