I've recently learned about a law called, "Parkinson's Law", which states that Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion. How does this apply to your business? It's quite simple rather than working in tasks, you work in time frames. Most successful people use this law, as it makes perfect sense. Let's say you have a project you want to complete in 2 weeks, you simply change the date, even if it seems unrealistic. So you would just simply change the date to 1 week, or 3 days. By doing that, you have made an unconscious shift and filled the space differently. This can also apply to network marketers. Rather than saying I'm going to work until I contact 10 people today, you might say from 1 - 3 PM, I'm going to do all my prospecting. This is also great way to build your business, because you can always structure your day around time, but you cannot structure your work schedule around numbers or results, that usually shows up as a result of how you structure your time.
As you grow your business instead of saying this month I will sponsor 5 people or 10, or whatever, try making a shift to where every day you are setting your schedule around time. Block out windows of time for different tasks and see if that makes a difference. As you get better and better using this principle you will be able to many times cut your workload in half and get just as much done.
