Podcast: Play in new window | Download

In this episode of The Struggling Biz, we discuss more items on the topic of Entrepreneur Personal Productivity. Here, we will go deeper into the topic, with some more details and process information about what we discussed in the previous episode — especially time-linking. And we will include some charts and some previous mp3 files in both this episode and the next one, so that you can get all the information.

And we do this because of feedback from several of our listeners that asked us to go into detail and teach more about the topic of how an entrepreneur can gain personal productivity with time-linking — and they asked for examples (some even wanted to get the personal productivity course that we mentioned, as well, or at least get access to the mp3 files and any other deliverables, like pdfs).

So, here, we would like to present you with the following content to respond to those requests from our listeners who wanted to get the details. And we do this, as the course is no longer available (it was delivered in 2008 to 2011 as an audio podcast, with incremental automatic downloads as both podcast mp3s and pdfs, as well as bonus materials, to the individual’s specific FEED — in this way, the response and delivery of content could be sent to the individual person, and it would NOT be a general blurt-out to the podosphere for everyone. That is what made the course so attractive, for it respected the individuality of the customer who paid for the course and made sure that the VALUE was great for the recipient listener. And the course called GAIN CONTROL OF YOUR DAY had over 25 modules (where each module had an mp3 file, pdf document that served as a workbook and other content). This course was originally developed for small business owners, entrepreneurs, startups, podcasters and content creators, etc.

Time-Linking

As we mentioned in our last episode, Time-Linking is the method where we can record and retrieve the information from a place that our mind trusts, so that it can be either accomplished or fulfilled or communicated at the right time and date, but it allows us to be in full control, so that ‘nothing slips through the cracks.'”

The key concepts start with your understanding of what a CONTROL CENTER really is — it can be an organizer in any form — electronic, digital, paper, hard-copy, etc. It is up to you for your own environment. In our course, the organizer was a paper-based organizer from 2007.

So, here, from the course called Gain Control of Your Day, we deliver both the pdf and audio mp3 file on the module that deals with learning the method and process of time-linking:

and it also has a self-paced pdf document with examples from the course itself:

PLEASE NOTE: This pdf document and matching mp3 file goes into examples of how to use time-linking with the then-delivered Q4Systems organizer (which is no longer available, as it was a hardcopy and paper-based system). However, you should be able to create the matching “documents” or templates with your own digital or electronic system for organization and scheduling (some call it “time management”), which then you can use in your own environment.

As a matter of fact, this is where the single page in the previous episode was taken from and put into the show notes:

So we hope that you can finally receive all the DETAIL to explain the concept of time-linking for a small business or entrepreneur environment. You can learn how you can “earn the right to forget about it” (when referring to “details” that can cause mental clutter and stress due to mental traffic, but where you can still be in control and ensure that you are productive with your habits.

Now, if you did not understand entirely the entire time-linking methodology and details, here is another module from the course that goes into time-linking from the BEGINNING BASIC DETAILED CONCEPTS, and how to set it up to use properly by answering all of the questions to which we refer (of course, using the forms from the course, which you can create and set up for yourself in your digital and electronic environment). Now, this may be “overkill” for many of you. But in my experience, more than half of my students came back and wanted to get this information to fully understand the details of time-linking and apply them to their own environment. So we have the pdf workbook:

and this pdf also has a matching mp3 course tutorial:

So we hope that we have addressed these questions from our listeners, and we would like to thank them for their feedback and requests for this type of detail. For it is important to get your small business or startup or entrepreneurship organized and set up so that you can GAIN CONTROL OF YOUR DAY, increase your personal productivity and be in control for your own business, as well as your life.

NOTE: the next episode will include a detailed hint on how to deal with the problem that most of us face — that of procrastination. And we shall have some tips on how to overcome it, as well as include strategies that work within the time-linking process and methodology.

At this time, we would like to thank you for your attention.
