Very Good Question. So many affiliates come across this problem.
Create yourself a Work Schedule. Your work schedule of course will be based on whatever your goals are to be reached.
Create a Weekly Schedule. It could be something like the following:
Everyday - Must complete To-Do list // Read all Emails // Spend at least 2 hours Advertising
Monday - To-Do list // Read all Emails // Spend 1 hour reading Forum Topics // Spend at least 2 hours advertising // Spend 1 hour learning about Blogs
Tuesday - To-Do list // Read all Emails // Spend at least 2 hours Advertising // Spend 2 hours learning about Blogs
Wednesday - To-Do list // Read all Emails // Spend at least 2 hours Advertising // Create letter to send to my Downline on Advertising Tips
Thursday - To-Do list // Read all Emails // Spend at least 2 hours Advertising // Spend about 1 hour or so working on Creating my Blog
Friday - To-Do list // Read all Emails // Spend at least 2 hours Advertising // Search for more creative ways to Advertise // Spend about 1 hour or so working on Creating my Blog
Saturday - To-Do list // Read all Emails // Spend at least 2 hours Advertising // Create Weekly Schedule for next week // Spend 1 hour reading Forum Topics
Sunday - To-Do list // Read all Emails // Spend at least 2 hours Advertising // Spend about 1 hour or so in Auction // Spend about 1 hour or so working on Creating your Blog
By having a plan with having a Weekly Schedule, you are pacing yourself to complete your tasks and also are allowing room to start something new, not to mention that each step is one more step closer to your goals.
If you set yourself up a Time Schedule and allow some breaks during your working hours, this might help you before you find yourself getting so overwhelmed that you just get so frustrated and want to throw in the towel, before you even get started.
Make your time schedule reasonable, before you sit down to work, have yourself one of your meals, or a snack.
Do a couple of stretches, get the blood flowing. Be ready to take on your tasks for the day.
A Time Schedule would be something like the following;
8 am - To-Do list // 9 am -- Read all Emails // 9:15 am -- Break time // 9:30 am -- Read Topics in Forum // 10:30 am -- Advertise in Classifieds // 11:30 am -- Break time // 12 pm -- Advertise more in Classifieds // 1 pm -- Search internet to learn about Blogs // --
As you can see, you have completed all of your tasks for the day and you took some breaks and still have some time for yourself.
Take a Break about every two hours for about 15 - 30 minutes, walk away from your work.
When you find yourself getting frustrated and upset because you feel like you just can not figure something out, just Stop what you are doing and Step away from your work.
Go take a walk and get some fresh air, do some chores, or listen to the radio, dance around your home, go get a bite to eat, anything that you enjoy doing to give yourself and your head a break.
Give yourself about an hour or so, (your work will be fine, waiting for you to return).
When you sit back and start to work again, you might see things a little bit clearer and things might jump into perspective with a better understanding then before you stepped away.
Whatever you feel that has worked for you to overcome being overwhelmed, share that with your Team, let them know that this is how I was able to overcome being overwhelmed.
Also, try not to make things harder then what they really are, take small steps.
There is no rush, pace yourself and take your time.
Hope this was helpful. // Good Luck!!
