Creating an online earning schedule

For about 2 years or more, I floundered around the Internet like a lost and desperate fish trying to snatch every penny I can get my hands on. I lost some money, I gained some money but I wasn't getting ahead. But gradually, ever so gradually, I collected a series of sites that I feel comfortable with and am slowly getting more confident and learning the ropes, including here in MyLot. But I'm stuck with a problem.
I need to get organised. Okay, well, I admit I'm starting to get organised, and I even have a scoresheet for myself in a site, plus a corresponding blog page. Now, I'd like to set myself realistic goals and write them down, and also a reference/score sheet that I can go by to keep me on the right track.
Before I was doing the newbie marketer program-hopping mistake, which really is a waste of time, at least in my case. I'm not a salesman, and I doubt I ever will be.
How many of you keep a reference/score sheet complete with goals? Do you have a set schedule of what to sign in, what to do, that sort of thing? Or do you do it all in your head? I know I tried to do everything from my head and I forgot to visit some site or two, so that doesn't work for me.

I did my best when I did have a routine, and I still have a little bit of a routine and goals but not as much as I did. I used a white marker board eventually, rather than pencil or paper. I had a list of five or six sites that I would go to daily. I did my starting number and my ending number. I did not necessarily have goals except here. I am not sure why I got distracted from that routine, but I did. I have recently gone back to working full time so I do not have as much time for online stuff now. Oh, and I also would have some idea in my head of how much I needed to do daily on each site to make the number of payouts I want to each month.

For the most part my earnings records are in my PayPal. I started out using scrap paper, but did find the marker board to be handy, as it was something I had on hand. You can also use white board markers to write things down on your refrigerator, actually. I know that sounds strange, but I sometimes write what I weigh on the side of the refrigerator.

Oh good, congrats on getting back to full-time work! 
I suppose with me just being a housewife with no money coming in from my end except for my disability cheque I'm paying more attention to this now. The whiteboard idea is a good idea, though. I might have a text document on my desktop which details all of my plans, but I think a marker and paper would be best for me to keep at my computer table.

Hi, masihi, scheduling my earning site is always be my plan, but I know I can't accomplish it in this close time. I work at my company since 8 am - 4 pm. It takes 1 hour to get home and feel so much tired after arrive at home and must do another activity such as cooking and cleaning my home, so I rarely open my notebook at home except tomorrow is holiday. It's really waste time and I now I just can put online earning as my side job with on-off moods. the best thing to remember, I can use a short time in my office for blogging and mylotting. I can post some article and blogwalking also response discussion.so far I just active on mylot and blogging and due to this limited time, if I could manage my schedule it would be blogging and mylot oriented before I recognize other good paying site.I have 3 blog and I wish had 2-3 more.
If I smart to manage my time that will be good point for my online earning and who knows, I can put my concentration in any new paying site that will be very helpful for me. do you have any tips?

that's actually my main problem now. I have full job but I have deep interested in working online.for me working online can be my future job since I always want working from home and forget my offline job.MLM is not my ability ( same with you ) and really bad seller at all. I'm give up with that anyway.2-3 profitable sites may be can work very good for me.what's your suggestion except mylot and blogging?

A pleasant day to you Masihi,
That is a pretty good thing to do. Having a schedule of your online activity. That is a great way to earn more as you will not miss any of your task.
On my part here, I am not writing it down. Once I open up my machine my instinct follows that I should open the following browsers that I used to logged in. And whenever I forgot something, I always feel uneasy. And whenever I feel unease, I will check on the browsers that I have opened. After sometime, I will find out that I have missed one. But this is very rare to happen, since I am too eager to earn so I make it a point that I have done everything.
Nevertheless, what you are doing is a good way to start this new year. Keep it up.
More online earnings for us friend.

You definitely have good intuition, and I admire you for that. I know myself if I don't write things down I'm bound to forget. But I do keep my browsers open to my most active sites, and switch back and forth between them as throughout the day, or when I'm working at the computer. Yeap, becoming organised to maximising my online earning potential has become a new year resolution for me, big time.

Hi!
I do not have any schedule for all my online earning, although I have join quite many online money earning sites, but I do not use any schedule or record my goal and score for them, I have been years with them, so now it is more like a routine for me to go to which site first, they all are in my mind.

That's good that you have a firm foundation of what you're doing, just as if you're working a traditional company job. I think that's true organisation there because you're not hopping from program to program and trying out all kinds of new sites like I was. Right now I think things are evening out on a level plane so I'm starting to get into the mindset "okay, I need to go to this site do this, that site and refer to my reference sheet" and so forth. But for me, I still feel better having that paper with me, although I'll probably get used to it in time if I stick with exactly what I'm doing right now.

I will be realistic, when I first started I created a spreadsheet, with all the sites and tried to keep the information as updated as possible, but lately it has been a disaster. I haven't been spending anytime at all online, between work, school, my children and their school I don't even have any time for myself. Today is the first day in weeks in which I have logged in at mylot and that's the same for my other sites. As far as keeping some type of countability for the progress and what I have done, I am hoping that once I get back in to the hang of trying to make some extra income online I will develop something so I can keep track of what my earnings are.

I still do not have any schedule but I am planning of having one soon. I usually end up doing almost nothing in a day as I hop from one site to the other without much accomplishments and I would think that a good plan would be very helpful to me indeed.

Ya, I just started a tentative plan and already I"m seeing results. What I want to know for each site, why am I on this site, is this site reasonable for me for my abilities, how much can I reasonably earn per day, what exactly needs to be done (including strategy for maximising my earnings) and of course, the site's server time. Right now, I'm also creating a blog page for each of my earning site for effective promoting. And when I want to promote, I want to do it in an organised fashion instead of some desperate newbie posting my link everywhere I can find. Like talk to someone and refer them to a blog page, since my blog page would include my banner and detailed instructions. Know what I mean?
LOL I know I'm rambling now, but I guess it's my personality, I'm such a detailed-oriented person, and I know myself I'm impressed if I meet a marketer who's well organised and knows what he's talking about. I'm more apt to listen to those kinds of people.

Well, since I only have two sites, I find it easy to sign into both and keep active all day on them. If I had a lot, then what I would do is send myself an e-mail, with all my sites links and place it in a special folder so it doesn't get lost. Then every day I'd go to that folder and open all the sites and get to work..:)
