Effective Use of Your Online Time
The Internet is increasingly becoming a major time killer for many of us. Involuntarily, we started to spend more time online than we really can afford. Here is how it goes: Then, of course, there is this sports news that you must read, stock portfolio that you must check constantly, vacation place you need to choose for your next holidays, the list goes on and on, and what about those emails? Sounds familiar! You are not alone! Most of the Internet users are in the same boat. If you feel trapped and frustrated with your handling of the time spent online, you need to stand back, take a break, and look into the problem from a different perspective. Actually, what you need is more than a break; you need a balanced approachto your Internet activities. In order to understand where you online time goes, the first thing you should do is log everythingthat you do on the Internet for several days. Log your online activities If you scrupulously write down everything you do on the Internetfor a day, you will, truly, be amazed to see how much time you waste on unnecessary things like reading spam, browsing through inconsequential websites, etc. By thoroughly analyzing your online activities with the help of the logs you make, you will be able to pinpoint and resolve the problems - online activities that are unproductive and time wasters. The idea is to stay focused and do the things that you ought to do and stay out of impulsive moves. To do lists Like your daily life, you should make a "To Do" list of the things you need to do on the Internet. First, make a list of allthe tasks that you have to do online including routine activitieslike checking emails, etc. A generic activity such as working with your emails should be broken down into small tasks - answering to a specific email, making an online order for office supplies, etc. Add every single job related to the Internet to this list. Once you created the list, sort it according to the priority. This becomes your master list of online tasks. Select the tasks you are planning to do in a day. Transfer those tasks to a separate list. Make sure this list is precise and not too long, so that you canfinish most of the tasks from the list - at least the ones with high priority - within the chosen day. Armed with this list youwill be able to tackle the problem of productive use of your online time with confidence. Resources Many major portals have free personal information management programs that you can be used to create daily schedules and to do lists.
