Organization is Key

Some days you just have to step back and spend some time getting organized. Any method of earning money online necessitates being extremely organized, or it will be easy to lose track of what you’re trying to accomplish.

It might seem like I didn’t get much accomplished because I didn’t manage to even write one article this evening, but in reality I feel like I got a lot done.

One thing that I find to be an extremely useful tool is using spreadsheets to track projects. I use spreadsheets for my goals, for my online jobs such as surveys, to keep track of what has been completed and when, and also for my household budget.

Excel 2003 for Dummies

When I first started this online venture, I didn’t know very much about creating Excel spreadsheets; I bought the Excel for Dummies book and I was on my way very quickly. Now I have a spreadsheet workbook that is many pages linked together, and I can calculate projections which change automatically as I enter a new value. For example, if I earn $100 more this month than I had projected, when I enter the new value, that $100 dollars is automatically entered into total earnings and total to be paid towards debt. It also changes my weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual projection sheets in my workbook. It’s an awesome tool that’s easy to use, and will go a long way to helping you get organized.
