Getting organized with a simple technique.

With this journey into the unknown that is Internet Marketing, there is a whole heap of information coming at me from all sides. I'm having to learn about Wordpress,Squidoo, Twitter and the actual marketing itself. Not to mention actually writing the content (which is what I find the hardest, I have to admit). With all this on top of a day job and my feeble attempts at studying Spanish I sometimes feel I am getting nowhere fast.

A plan was needed, and if there is something I love it is making plans and lists. If I can somehow turn those lists into a spreadsheet then I am in organizational heaven. Enter the Webproject Progress Tracker. A spreadsheet with each of my sites/pages running down one side and tasks to do on them running across the top. These tasks are such things as write SEO Title, write SEO description, submit to Stumbleupon plus many more. I am adding new things to the list as I read about them during my investigations.

Now I have a place with all these tasks set down so I won't just forget about them 10 minutes after reading them. It also means that I have a bunch of super small tasks that I can be getting on with when the writing juice isn't flowing so well, all of which are necessary for getting the most out of the work that I am putting in. Win Win.

If anyone has any other tips for helping me stay organised and productive, please drop a comment and help to keep me sane. If you happen to be a beginner like me at all of this, then please say hello and consider subscribing to my RSS feed. Thanks.
