My entire life I have been a list maker and scheduler. I always loved writing things down in my planner. Yes, before there were cell phones we all carried around little books so we could keep track of our appointments! There was something satisfying at the end of each day checking off the things I was supposed to do and getting them done.
I believe it is the same as when you write your goals down. If you write them, and complete them, you get a higher sense of success. Why is it important to make a daily schedule? I do it for many reasons. In my life I have a lot of distractions. When you have many things that may keep you from getting your work done, having it written down serves as a great reminder of what is left to finish.
When you work as your own boss it is easy to say, "I can come back and finish this later." But I want to emphasize, if you worked for a typical boss would you be allowed to do that? Just walk out on an extended break and say, "I'll see you later tonight, maybe!" You know that wouldn't be allowed. Why?
BECAUSE YOU WON'T BE BACK!!! Your boss knows that! So why are you willing to be so lacking in your own business? It's why 95% of people online don't make it. They won't commit to the discipline. Don't risk you business or your success. Make a schedule. Make a daily schedule, make a weekly schedule and stick to it!
