I get on the computer and get sucked into work in the morning and have trouble stopping.
If I didn’t have a husband I want to spend evenings with I would probably work all the time until I fall asleep…
No schedule here, I flow with the punches…
Just like Dom I start off with my coffee and go from there, I usually have so many projects going on that I have no problem just working the day away, I do go for my run and do a few other chores and return back to work in the noon and I work on some eves to chat with managers and staff:)
They key is routine stay with it
I sit at the computer and open my email , if i can manage to accomplish half of what is waiting , its a good day lol.I personally have no time to write a schedule and find myself praying alot LOL
I get up early to get one of my 2 kids ready for school, get her on the buss then I go to work, work 9 hours then go home and do dinner and kids activities. Slow down with Jennifer my wife then try to work on some sites before 1AM then start over.
I wake up at about 6am and put in atleast 2 hours before breakfast to take care of email, address posts at my forum, visit GPWA & CAP, check bank accts/ewallets for payments and a few affiliate accounts.
I use Outlook’s task feature to remind me of things that must be done at a certain time/date and knock those out.
I also use One Note to keep track of what is going on and store information then I work on what I feel like for the remaining six to eight hours. I find that I work much better while listening to my mp3 with my headset.
Sometimes I will start work again in the evening and put in 2 more hours before I go to bed.
Thank goodness my new hubby is a computer nut like me. Most of the time we sit together in our dual recliner with our laptops doing our thing. I’m slowly teaching him things so that I can get his help down the road.
I am up at about 10 I go straight to work. My other business is a gym in london which I opened 2 years ago we only cater for personal training and I still work as a personal trainer for about 25 hours a week. I normally see 3 clients in the morning and 2 in the evening. I normally search CAP and GPWA and other affiliates sites a bit in the morning and maybe play a bit in the casinos. Later on I search casino news and write content plus manage the site, and my other business. Both businesses have sites to manage. Then the evening I normally spend with my girlfriend or go have a drink.
I usually set a goal in the morning which work I want to have done till the evening.
I don’t write that down.
I also plan which work I want to have done from Monday till Friday.
If I finish earlier than planned I do some more work or do one of my hobbies.
Some have to do with my work like playing online poker.If later I sometimes work in the evening. Like this evening but because we didn’t go to the movies.
I get up around 8 am, have coffee first, boot up the computer and have another cup while I’m waiting for that to be done. I go over in my head what has to be done.
I have folders on my desktop for each site that needs something done on it, or each job that I have. I then put each task for the day on a seperate notepad, as I complete each task, I move the notepad into the folder it goes in. In the afternoon I take a nap, and when I get up I finish what was left over from earlier in the day. I usually work til around 2 am.
I usually get up and see what hits me unless I have a pet project on the go. No schedule, no plan – just take it as it comes. And yeah i do get easily distracted but hell, that’s why I love this job: no customers, no schedule, no “you must do this by then” – heaven! I did my corporate bit and working for other people and this beats the crap out of it so if I want to turn the TV on, chat on MSN, post on forums, have a kip, or soak in the bath, I will :p
On the odd day when I feel I need direction, I spend 10 minutes in bed before I get up just thinking about what I want to do. My pet hate is the phone ringing
It’s great to read that so many of you do this for a living.
When I started this a year ago, my intention was to drop a day a week from my ‘proper’ job once the casino business could replace it financially. A year later, and trying to fit this into all and any spare time I have, it still remains a pipe dream.
But I love this work and the people you meet doing it, and knowing that it’s possible to do this full-time gives me the hope carry on!
Here’s to the next year…
I get up between 4:30 – 5:00 in the morning and go through a list of tasks that I’ve set myself. I have a daily list of things to do, like exchange links, etc.. a list of things that require my immediate attention, such as updating the linking codes of certain sponsors, checking bonus info, etc, and a list of projects that need to completed.
I’ve come upon the conclusion that everyone here works too hard. Wake up before noon???

I was thinking the same thing, i dont get up till gone 11am most days and thats early, whats the point in working from home if you dont get to stay in bed in the mornings lol
I should really have a shedule written down because somedays i think wtf have i done today lol apart from browse the net.
I get up so early out of habit. Several years ago when I decided to leave the corporate scene I deliberately got up at the same time just incase I would have to go back. LOL
I use to hate getting up when it was dark outside and then having an hour commute until I started working for myself. I really enjoy my job alot and there is so much to do and learn and I want to make the most of it so that I can save enough to take off up-to three months out of the year to travel and do things.
