Being online sidetracks me for most part of the day. I am getting terrible day after day in being able to manage my time effectively. I seem to forget something or the other that needs to be done each day ( scratches head shame facedly) This is despite the fact that I have a to do list on my comp How do you mange your time? Are you happy with what you achieve each day?

Yep, me too, somethings get put off. I'm not sure perhaps I could do much better. Right now I am in between being here and going to a dentist appointment. As far as computer use goes I really need to really set a goal and stick to it.

I can usually manage rest of the stuff while carrying on my writing task other than dusting chore. It's badly hit so before I sit in front of my computer I try to finish that or else that's gone for a toss. Don't we have to maintain any word limit here? I am unable to find out such details and even don't know how to contact the admin when it's required. Can you help me? Please.

@Shampasaid Welcome to mylot. Good that you get your work done bfore sitting at your desk.. I used to do that but now I am here all day.. Not you don't have any word /character limits on this site. The admin says even a one liner is okay if it is sensible enough to start a discussion.

Back in the day when I was starting my on-line earning, I was often side tracked. Nowadays, I have a good grasp of how I'd spend the day so I still get things done even though I'm on-line.

@sofssu it is a lesson that we learn easily but it takes a lifetime to master. Like you, I'm learning and re-learning it every day.

Being on the computer does tend to side track us. I know I am absolutely bad for that. However, if something gets put off, it will still be there when I get to it. Unless I get a 'fairy' to come do it for me. I would be all for that.

Oh goodness, no. Nope. No sirree. Even when I try to make a schedule, I still waste time and forget to do all the truly important things. The computer is mostly responsible for this.

I'm the band wagon with being easily side tracked if it's not for getting message alerts, or work, or going to one room to put something else away and then find something else that needs to attend to, or a phone call, or a kid needs something... i get no where story of my life

yes, we have to manage time by our sense. Give importance to only important tasks thereby keeping unimportant tasks aside

Yes, I do! I am definitely a multi tasker and am always doing at least two things at once. Time is so short so I want to make the most of it by accomplishing as much as possible.
