Time management is one of the hardest things no matter what business you are in! I have been full-time domaining for years now and I do not have a clue how a part time domainer could even survive in the domain industry. The domain industry seems to change daily, if not hourly and keeping up with the times is a job in itself.

Companies are purchased, services change, new sites open and domain names are being sold by the second. Fewwww

I run a three man show (Me, Myself and I) and have been getting into more and more things. Buying more domains from more and more places, development of domains and selling domains. Processes change daily (drops, searching, software), tools are added, free tools go to pay tools, discoveries (new ways of doing things or just new things) and so on.

So I start my day off at 4:30 am and "try" to stop by the time my wife comes home at 5 PM, but I have worked many days non stop until 11 or 12 at night. I love what I do, otherwise there is simply no way I could or would do it daily.

So today I was thinking of Time Management. What is working, what is not? Have you asked yourself that lately? If not, you might want to do a check and see what’s working and what is not. I have started a list and will be checking these items often to see how things are working. I also created another list on things that I want to try. So this all is pointing to time management. Adding new things and take away the things that are not working.

I have a new site/service that will greatly help myself and many other domainers with time management and this web based tool will also help you not miss out on investments. More to come on this shortly.

So in my list I layed out what Most of my hours in my short days are sucked up by. Researching domain name lists for auctions and drops takes up most of it. This blog sucks up a good deal of time, bidding on domains at auctions, renewals, parking management, checking blogs/forums and consulting with other domainers. That’s my day in a nut shell.

I have Really lowered my hours on domain forums to help time management already, since DotWeekly started taking up more time. I know I need a tool/software to help weed the domain lists. DRT software Really helps, but I still need more. This is a big focal point. Auction Management is another big focal point. It seems new auction sites are added monthly and I hate to miss out on a good deal…

So be sure to ask yourself, What’s working and what’s not! Do some time management weeding, so you can start trying some new things or allow some more time to dig deeper into more important things that Are Working.

Happy Domaining!
