I sure have, in fact, I make sure that my business is always multifaceted; recession or not.

Have you done the same?

If you haven’t, I’ll give you a few ideas on how to make sure you aren’t left out in the cold just because of a recession, search engine algorithm change, or anything else that can impact home business owners.

Head on over to Work From Home Momma, because I’ve written a guest post called Does Your Business Have a Plan B?

Enjoy!

Wow, another one?

How many does that make for you?

Wait a minute, how do you have time to sleep?

So you want to know my secret huh? First let me tell you that I’ll never tell you how many websites I have. It’s not that I’m being secretive, it’s that I really don’t know.

But I will tell you my “secrets” to managing all of the sites.

I’ve already revealed that I have slight workatholic tendencies and I think that has a lot to do with it. I like to work, but only when I am doing what I want to do so that helps a lot.

In addition to scheduling my time, I’ve found that creating a weekly to do list is quite helpful.

New project ideas come up, personal tasks need to be handled, and if I don’t write it down then I’ll procrastinate or forget it.

Weekly to do lists are especially useful with blogging. While I don’t plan out the exact blog topics I’m going to post about, I do plan each week when I’m going to write for the following week. This helps greatly in staying ahead of the blog.

I don’t use any fancy tools like ToDoIst, Remember The Milk, or BackPack It. I keep it simple by opening a Notepad file, typing up the tasks I need to accomplish, followed by the days I need to post on my blogs, and I save it in a folder on my computer called To Do Lists.

Every morning I open the file and see what I can check off before noon. This works because the tasks I put on this list are not time-sensitive. They can be done whenever as long as I finish them that week ends.

While the other tools may make it easier to maintain a calendar based to do list, I find that a simple file with a list of tasks makes my life easier.
