More Weekend Sales, A Few Deals Ending, and Setting Deadlines

Happy Saturday!

I’m getting a late start this morning, but it’s at least an intentional late start for a change! I decided last night that since I didn’t have to get up early I was going to turn off my alarm and just sleep as long as I could. It was going so well too until Dan the Cat decided that his breakfast time should supersede my sleep time and started howling at me at about 7:30!

So I had a nice quiet and relaxing coffee and read for a little bit, and now here I am ready to tackle the never-ending to-do list for awhile. Shaun took my car with him to the girlfriend’s this weekend and left me the blue beast, so if the sun comes out I think I’m going to go for a walk on the beach this afternoon.

But before that I have to at least cross a few things off my list for the day, so here’s what I have for you this morning…

Today’s Read: Tips for Setting Deadlines You Can Live With

One aspect of achieving the goals that you set for yourself is the ability to set up deadlines effectively. Some people are better at being realistic about deadlines than others, but fortunately, you can practice and learn how to set up deadlines correctly so that they’re realistic and effective.

Here are a few tips to help you set deadlines you can live with…

Tip #1 – Break your goals into steps

When you have a deadline for anything, it helps to break it down. For example, there is a lot more to anything you want to accomplish than the result or deliverable. Losing 50 pounds, organizing your home, finishing a book, writing a novel, and so forth all require many steps in between starting and the result.

Tip #2 – List the steps for each bigger step

Each component also has its own steps that need to be spelled out. By spelling everything out and making it into small steps, tasks, or actions that you need to take to get to the result, it’s easier to figure out an appropriate timeline.

Tip #3 – Put your steps in order on a timeline

Once you’ve determined all the steps that it takes to complete any one component and all the components together to meet your goal, make them into chronological steps that you put into your task list. This task list will eventually go into your calendar.

Tip #4 – Figure out how long each step will take

As you break down each component into steps to finish the goal, also write down how long you think it’s going to take to do each thing. Some things may take two minutes, and others may take longer.

Tip #5 – Assign the tasks you’re outsourcing

As you look at your itemized list, you’ll notice things that you can outsource to your VA or someone else. Write down who you want to do it and talk to them about their timeline to find out when it can realistically be finished based on your needs.

Tip #6 – Set priorities and brainstorm delays

Always brainstorm anything that might get in the way of your deadlines. I mentioned in a previous article to always build contingency time into your deadlines because you know there will be delays, especially when dealing with tech. So, if you think a task is going to take 1 hour, allow 1 hour and 15 minutes. You can adjust down later if you overestimate, but it can throw off your entire timeline if you underestimate.

Tip #7 – Add it to your calendar

Now that you have it in order, you can realistically set your deadlines and put everything, including each set up for each component into the calendar and task lists, so you know just by opening your calendar each day what you need to do where and when.

Setting up deadlines effectively is one of the best ways you can ensure that you’re using your time wisely. You don’t want deadlines to be too long away, so you’ll want to break each deliverable down into smaller components with their own deadlines to ensure that you get done. Then schedule everything, and stick to the schedule!

More Weekend Specials for You

Weekend Sale: Save 50% on the Digital Business Audit

It’s been awhile since Jenn and I did a weekend sale, so for this weekend you can save 50% on our Digital Business Audit Workbook when you use coupon code AUDIT50 through October 8. This personal use workbook covers:

  • which programs, systems and items you’ve paid for but don’t use.
  • which domains you own, but aren’t earning from.
  • important business information, contacts, and suppliers.
  • which mailing lists bring in money?
  • what products bring money and which don’t.
  • and a whole lot more!

Weekend Sale: Design a Day Template Club

I just found out that Shawn Hansen is running a weekend special on one of my favorite memberships! In her Design a Day Template Club you get a new template delivered every single day (and currently there’s about 25 months of templates available). This is normally a $27/month membership, but until Sunday, October 3 you can become a member for only $9.99/month with coupon code Take5Sale

Why would you want your templates delivered daily instead of in one huge package?

One word… overwhelm!

One of the biggest complaints (or excuses) I hear for not using your PLR content is that people don’t know where to start. So, when you get 1 template at a time you can easily do something with it, get it up for sale, and then move on to the next one.
