Just stumbled on your posting. Though it may be a little outdated but thought it was a great suggestion in using video to record what I am doing.

As for me, I normally plan my tasks for the week on Sunday evenings. Eg: complete landing page for campaign X, write article for campaign y, set up ppc campaign for project x... Then I will review them on Friday afternoon to see what was done during the week.

My opinion, it's not the quantity of activities that you do everyday but the quality of it.

Cheers,
CK

My Process:
I start with Keynote (mac Version of PowerPoint) Create the outline and then print it out and have it Proofed for typos and flow.
Fix the errors
Record
Listen and watch
(re-record as needed)
Create a Page to land on that I display on the video
convert to flv
place on libsyn (hosting without a meter)

Thanks again for pushing the process forward

I run a health and wellness business online and agree with your point - which is to verify that we are not wasting our time during the day. Your idea seems easy enough to do but also seems a little overboard. I find it easier to jot down a priority list of 'things to do' in the late evening or morning breakfast without time frames. Then proceed to do the list. Whatever is left at the end of the day, I put at the top of the list for the following day. Frankly, I rarely get everything on my lists done each day but at least I then have a record of what I do during the day.

Everyone should have a system of organization that works with his/her own lifestyle. Your way is a great way to start. I suppose the ultimate goal for all of us is to be able to outsource all of the work and daily marketing routines we do.
Thanks

I just came across your video challenge, and it looks great. (Sorry, slow starter).

I totally understand where you are coming from, I recently chose to become redundant from my job (not because I was slack) so that I could concentrate on my Internet Business.

I must say, it has been a challenge and I've been struggling to get my daily routine going.

If I was an employee of my Internet Business, I would fire myself as I feel I can work a lot harder, but tend to procrastinate, maybe it's the fear of the unknown.

I've been using a post it note program on my desktop to write down thoughts and I've been putting in daily to do lists to try and keep me on track.

I like the idea of recording my day or keeping a diary as it will help me to keep track of progress.

The hardest part is getting started, another thing that saps energy for me is when I get a rude email from a person.

I had one of those yesterday that told me to get (four letter word starting with 'F') all because I declined their article on my article directory.

This took a lot of energy to get over, but I just told myself to toughen up.

I then fired them. I deleted their account, banned their ip and reported them to their isp.

Then I posted an entry on my blog to help to release the tension.

After all of this I was ready to start my day.

Keep up the good work mate.

Regards

Bernie

Firing yourself isn't just for people who waste time playing around in their businesses. If you just know you are in the wrong business, wasting your time and getting nowhere even if you are working your butt off, it might be a good thing to fire your own ass and move on to something else.

I've done that more than once in my life and I am the better for it today.

Have a great day!

Still plugging along with the Video Challenge and I can see where it is going - making it easier to do a good video when I am ready to post them for the world to see. Would anybody really want to see my "winter" deck and me in a big old parka, sitting in the snow - listening to Internet Marketing MP3's - celebrating Easter ? Ya easter!

Your working in chunks is a great idea and I find that is the way I end up getting things done. Only becuase I work on a number of different things each day and then there is the multitude of Internet Marketing info bombarding my in box to deal with as well.

Anyway, great post and keep it up.

I understand what you're saying, Robert but I'm still not to the point where I want my internet marketing to be a chore or a J.O.B. just yet.

Why not, Mike? That step is unavoidable.

It's like if you owned a sandwich shop. As the owner you have to do the same work as all your minimum wage employees, work tons more hours, come in if someone can't make it to work, worry about rent / payroll / taxes, and all that. But at least you own that business. In the long term you make more money.

What obstacles do you need to overcome to make it into a chore? Because it's only after I made my internet marketing efforts into a routine that I was able to KEEP my monthly income consistently above $10,000.

Well, I have been searching all over the web for some great business opportunity like EVERYBODY ELSE. But you never know when you are getting fooled by someone who is greedy and are just traying to get rich with out honestly.

I know you get where I'm going with this.

Recently I was reading e-book about how to make money by blogging. So in the book he explained and it was really simple, but this book is like 2 years old and all those search engines has changed, like yahoo, msn, and google.

And in the book I read, it's so easy to get like 5$ bucks for one day for blog and that could be like 1950$ per month. But I have read all this book and sign in to like 20 different programs and now I don't know what I'm even supposed to do know or how I'm supposed to earn money by blogging.

(sorry for my english, and for long text )

But the point is, I'm so desperate to find so good business and I can see that if I put much effort into my work and do everything in honest way, and willing to help people to get what they want, and can see that I get paid for that kind of work I would be so pleased and happy but when is this going to work?!

I hope you'll have a wonderful day!
