Have you ever muttered the words “If only there were more hours in the day?” I know I have. But is it that we don’t have enough hours in the day or is it that we aren’t using them efficiently? Tim Ferriss, author of The 4 Hour Work Week, seems to think you only need less than one hour a day to be successful. I’m not sure about that, but I do believe you don’t need to crack down 14 hours a day to get things done.

I work a full-time job, have a wife and home and like to get out of the house on weekends so the time I have available for online work is extremely limited. I get up at 5:45 every morning and get things done before I head out the door for my job. It’s brutal at times, but these 1-2 hours every morning is all I have so I have to make the best of them.

Do you have a full-time job? A wife and a family? A house to keep up? Friends to hang out with? A lot of online marketers fit in this category, not the stereotypical 18 year old loser living in his parent’s basement. Every minute of every day is crucial. It’s important to have your priorities in line and rid yourself of time-wasters.

How much time do you need per day to be successful? Can you get everything done in an hour? 3 hours? 8 hours? Post a comment and let me know.
