Did you know that during an average length lifetime most people
spend 23 years sleeping, 19 years at work, enjoy 9 years of leisure,
spend 7 years traveling ( mostly to work ), take 6 years to cook
and eat meals, 3 years being ill, 2 years in the bathroom/shower,
and 1 year at Church.


Makes you wonder how we find time for building a web business,
doesn"t it?


Especially when you factor in the information that adult men spend
21.9 hours a week watching TV, and adult women 26.5 hours. Mind
you the TV viewing figures are from a 1996 survey, so those figures
have probably dropped because of the time spent surfing the net.


So what do we do about this time problem?


According to Douglas Adams, "Time is an illusion, lunchtime doubly
so."


And if it"s only an illusion we can create more of it. So how do we
create extra hours for building our online business.


Well, apart from the obvious of cutting down on watching TV, there
is one very simple way of gaining time.


And that"s by getting up early.


Dragging yourself out of bed is an extremely simple way of creating
more time, but is extremely effective. If you get up one hour early for
a year, you have effectively created around 10 additional working
weeks. And when you work at home on your own business then this
work directly profits you.


The trick is to get into the routine of getting up at a specific time. For
a year I got up at 4 every morning to write a novel ( unpublished ). The
first few days of dragging myself out of bed before dawn were painful,
but it quickly got easier. Until after a week or so, it just became normal
and routine.


You"ll find that it gets easier as the days go by, and although you"ll be
tired for a few weeks, your body will adjust.
