			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You&#8217;d love to work from home, but can&#8217;t imagine taking client phone calls with a crying baby and a barking dog in the background.  And how many calls would you miss when you leave the house to run your myriad errands throughout the day?  The good news is that there are many work from home opportunities that do not require turning your home into a call center.<span id="more-81"></span> <a href="http://www.workathome-abc.com/">www.workathome-abc.com</a> &#8217;s article Top Work From Home Opportunities That Don&#8217;t Require a Phone points out that there are many scams on the internet advertising work from home opportunities. There are, however, some very legitimate job sites such as Guru and Elance from which an able writer, especially, can obtain lucrative work.  SEO or Search Engine Optimization articles are in especially high demand from employers in every possible line of work.</p>
<p>Another vehicle for earning money from home without using the phone is through affiliate marketing, which is essentially earning commissions by selling other people&#8217;s products on your own website.  The article suggests promoting programs and products that are interesting and appealing to you to obtain the best results, and directs readers to Clickbank.com to learn more about the fiercely competitive world of internet marketing.</p>
<p>Data entry jobs are plentiful as well, though the article points out that one should never pay for a list or pay an employer for work, as these are common internet scams.  The website <a href="http://www.cjfj.com/">www.cjfj.com</a> is provided as a resource for legitimate internet work from home opportunities.  With a reliable internet connection, there is plenty of work out there with no phone work required.

She urges [tag]VA[/tag]s to carefully lay out their projects to determine both the deadline and the length of time anticipated to complete it.  This will help to prioritize your workload on a daily basis.  Particularly helpful are her suggestions for maintaining &#8220;office hours&#8221; even while at home.  She suggests posting office hours on the door, and reminding your children that if you were working outside of the home, they would be unable to barge in and interrupt you.  She suggests asking them kindly to treat your home office as if it is not part of the home.  She reminds us that handling interruptions is key to effective time management.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Is your to-do list so daunting that you&#8217;ve become a procrastinator? And as a result, you find yourself struggling to meet a deadline only to realize that you could have done a better job, had you devoted adequate time to the project?</p>
<p>Many [tag]small business[/tag] owners suffer from this syndrome.  Andrew Brown of small-business-guru.com, offers these suggestions to make you more productive:</p>
<p>In brief, they are:</p>
<p>1)  <strong>Set a time budget for the task</strong> &#8211; list your tasks, and assign time budgets to them.  It will help you to prioritize.</p>
<p>2)  <strong>Identify what you wat to accomplish in a certain time period</strong> &#8211; Rather than listing large, time consuming jobs, break your tasks down into manageable pieces.  For example &#8220;organize desk&#8221; can be broken down into 3 tasks &#8211; &#8220;label folders,&#8221; &#8220;organize top 3 drawers,&#8221; &#8220;organize 2 bottom drawers.  Rather than failing to accomplish the big job, you will have succeeded in accomplishing that job in manageable pieces.</p>
<p>3)  <strong>Clock yourself while doing the task</strong> &#8211; the author suggests using a simple egg timer.  It will bring into focus exactly how long a task is taking you.</p>
<p>4)  <strong>Check your e-mail using the same strategy &#8211; unless to can respond to an e-mail in less than 2 minutes. </strong> E-mail has a way of disrupting agendas and taking us off task, as it does not arrive on a schedule.  The author suggests scheduling specific times throughout the day to check e-mail.
