A painless way to schedule your projects – give yourself time!

Are you one of those people who gets so excited about a new project, you want to rush right in and finish it…yesterday?

And then you come down to earth and discover that your timing was all wrong – there was no way you could have finished it by the deadline you set up for yourself.

Spontaneity is great, but it doesn’t always work – especially not in business.

Being revved-up about a new project, wanting to see your idea implemented and generating income is natural (after all, that’s why you became a web entrepreneur). But setting unrealistic deadlines is sure to backfire.

Has this already happened to you?

If so, you are no stranger to frustration and disappointment you feel when a goal you set for yourself can’t be reached because you underestimated the length of time such an implementation is likely to take.

Let’s say you decide on a Monday to write and submit an important article by Friday. You may even sit down and start writing, finishing it by Tuesday. But then you find out that your editor can’t start reviewing your draft before the beginning of the following week, because she is swamped with other projects. And your brilliant idea of having your article finished by the week’s end is going down the drain.

That’s a very good reason to re-think the way you do your scheduling. For instance, whatever project you are thinking of launching, make sure to plan extra time for testing, re-thinking your strategy, or any unforeseeable circumstances that may pop up and delay the project’s completion – maybe a team member is on vacation or sick. Giving yourself enough leeway will allow you to set – and meet – realistic goals without putting undue pressure on yourself or your team.

As the saying goes: timing is everything!
