Time Management for Domainers

时间管理的艺术从未像域名专业人士或“域名人”那样重要。当时间紧迫时，错过域名交易或丢失域名拍卖可能会抑制一个月的胜利网站推广。即使是中级域名用户也可能在Facebook上损失半天的时间，或者赶上一个月未经检查的托管popmail。

域名占用时间。域名等待传球，并要求域名玩家与足球一起跑多久。域名管理员桌面和家庭办公效率的核心原则会降低，因为域名管理员正在努力在熄灯之前啜饮最后一滴连接或带宽。Iphone和PDA的脱口而出的域名Twitter和这些与车钥匙争夺珍贵的财产，除非生命损失迫在眉睫，否则不会交出。

太阳从未真正落下域名，因为世界各地的人们都在登录检查他们的域名流量、会员收入和移动计算，当牛群转向拍卖维尔或域名合作伙伴或网络开发交易负责人之间出现危机时，他们就会被扔出窗外。一旦网站建设、电话会议、拍卖时间表和项目截止日期的完整议程到来，钟面指针就会开始疯狂旋转。以下是一些在没有安全网的情况下进行 Avid 域名的提示。

1. 减少点击量

对于点击驱动的行业来说，这听起来像是一个奇怪的目标，但为了高效域名，请安装快捷键并提高每个站点的简洁性。他们还没有完全构建出为您驾驶的计算机。打开一个文件夹，该文件夹具有议程快捷方式，可以直接访问给定注册商帐户中的在线删除数据或到期报告页面。在时间紧迫的情况下，每一次点击都会很痛。如果您需要在关闭启动后再检查一件事，您应该能够在机器关闭之前看一眼。 （如果您的机器从未关闭，请咨询治疗师）。

2. 休息后写作

将大量时间插入到您不键入的域工作日中。尽可能观看域网络研讨会和 SEO youtube 以获取信息。利用这段时间作为休息站，让您的手、手指、手腕和手臂休息一下。在这些中断后刺出您的域电子邮件，将紧迫性减慢到正常的打字速度。不要在键盘上脱粒或敲击。域名需要技巧。您将在白天晚些时候或深夜需要这些神经。

3.给一口井

如果你离开电脑去吃晚饭/氧气/广告狂人，留下一个任务，当你回来时，只留下一个任务。如果你有大量的工作在等待，那将不是一个休息，你的大脑要么完全放松到逃避现实，当你回到“工作”时无法回忆起相关细节，要么你会在领域细节上太努力而享受休息。不要成为那个 24/7 全天候拇指打电话、毫无意义地发短信、无能为力的人，因为他停止了练习。

完成一件事将你所有的心理资源集中在一个领域任务上，让你的大脑创造性地寻求解决问题，预测行动项目，并找到解决方案。有一天从一个领域任务写到另一个领域任务是可以的，但养成习惯，你就会逐渐接受你自己创造的注意力。丢弃细节是其他人的问题。这种态度扼杀了领域和开发交易，并将它们踢入负整数。处理一件事，并且处理好它。太多的域任务一起游动使问题变得困惑，并以 67% 的速度完成所有工作。

4. 在自己的时间传福音

广告和鼓励很有趣，但域名时间表并不意味着被打破。如果您从名称会议或域名商贸易展回来，那里充斥着 1001 家赞助商的高能量宣传，请注意。冷却它，然后继续工作。燃烧这种兴奋，有效地完成基本价值任务，而不是打电话和发送电子邮件的想法和网站，而合作伙伴则对业务驱动因素缺乏回应感到困惑。

5. 每周更改一次启动/主页

可悲的是，很多人使用出厂默认主页或他们的电子邮件提供商主页作为他们的互联网浏览器主页。但是，如果您知道明天需要完成任务，等待结果，订单更新或银行余额转移，请更改浏览器的主页，以便每次启动时的第一个站点将是您知道至少需要一次的站点。特别是当域任务时间紧迫，具有打开的窗口和更新的选项时。通过这种方式，功能提醒发生，而不是假设“你会记得”。

6.不要将打印机用作拐杖

认为你总是会把所有东西都打印出来是一种浪费时间的古老方式。在将来的某个日期，将调用您刚刚设计的一些关键数据项。您将发送 20 分钟插入邮件和驱动器文件以查找它，或更多。准备好用于虚拟主机注册、域登录和您在笔记本中传递密码的地图的表单。通过实际将信息机械化到纸张上，您会比打“打印”并继续前进更能记住。

这可能会“只”节省5-10分钟“，但在当天，这5-10分钟可能会产生巨大的成本。当您使用适配器登录铅包裹的机场停车场结构时，保持出租车滴答作响确实是有代价的。匆匆忙忙地穿过国际机场，将视线从路上移开，使用公共计算机进行个人登录和电子邮件搜索，或者在许多人面前拨打50美元的电话，这些都可能代价高昂。智能地使用约定并采取措施记录密码数据、登录名和机密路径也可能在法律谈判和争议中为您提供良好的帮助。

7. 健身鸡蛋计时器

不，不是开玩笑。每当启动死记硬背的任务（如删除名称搜索或数据输入）时，请设置此计时器，这些任务可以永久持续下去。当你把眼睛缩进显示器，弓着肩膀，下背部松弛，腹肌变弱时，你正在伤害自己。尝试观察更好的姿势，让你的眼睛远离角落的屏幕休息，并获得更好的椅子。安排正常休息时间，例如在 auctons 关闭后或域论坛上的交互性变慢时。

当鸡蛋计时器响起时，起床。做跳千斤顶。卷起一些杠铃。靠墙做瑜伽，以奇怪的姿势伸展，让孩子们发笑。绕着街区跑来跑去，或者上下楼梯。你会在屏幕上活得更久，睡得更好，并消除神秘地不断出现的第 13 小时域名不适。“脾气暴躁”的因素也会减少。

8. 改变家庭办公室

很少有域名用户关注他们在家中的工作方式，并找到设备和空间计划来协助这种风格。大多数家庭办公室都设置在直角空间限制下。这些设备价格实惠，通常塞满在纸张、书籍、邮件、下拉列表、域名组合打印输出和家庭办公室的各种附录中。但是，可能存在新的创新和新发明，使整个“商业环境”对忙碌的域名使用者来说更具生产力。

域名持有者管理，通过几个月甚至几年的这种混乱，工作继续，直到有一天它会赶上他们。域名管理员可以在清理办公桌之前推动整个业务周期。花一个周末时间，去家庭办公室度假。这是完全必要的，但把所有无法解释的东西放在衣柜的抽屉或袋子里，在你的桌面上放一张数字图片，里面有什么。

做备案。只要完成。

9. 数据合作伙伴

建立一个域名行业同事的在线俱乐部，他们可以共享域名到期数据，并合作每周或在某些星期的不同日子执行某些域名任务。是的，这需要信任。但是，如果你每天都在为小事出汗，你怎么能打造赚钱、获得流量的大域名企业呢？用丑陋的数据来换取有趣的领域开发。新域名的能量将带您完成额外的名称杂务，并让您的灰色细胞休息一下。

10. 委托

咀嚼你的后腿来避免你的域名自我对域名持有者没有一点帮助。是的，域名服务需要花钱，域名拍卖、网站和域名开发项目的意外费用可能会刺痛。但是，在网站重新启动时执行直觉域工作或在您可以谈判新合同时编辑代码是容易出错的任务。

The art of time management is never so critical as it must be for domain name professionals, or “domainers”. When time is critical, a missed domain name deal or lost domain auction can tamp down a month’s victorious site site promotion. Even intermediate domainers can lose a half day lost in Facebooking or catching up on a month’s worth of unchecked hosting popmail.

Domaining sucks time. Domain names wait for the pass and demand the domainer run with the football howver long that may be. Central tenets of domainer desktop and home office efficiency degrade as domainers struggles to sip that last drop of connectivity or bandwidth before lights out. Iphones and PDA’s blurt domain Twitters and these vy with car keys for precious possessions not to be surrendered unless loss of life is imminent.

The sun never really sets on domaining, because people all over the world are logging on checking out their domain traffic, affiliate revenues, and and mobile computing get thrown out the window when the herd turns toward auctionville or there is a crisis spiking between domain partners or web development deal principals. the clock face hands can start spinning wildly once a full agenda of web site building, conference calls, auction timelines, and project deadlines hits. here are some tips for avid domaining without a safety net.

1. Reduce Your Click Volume

It sounds like a strange goal for a click driven industry, but for high efficiency domaining install shortkeys and heighten brevity per site. They haven’t quite built the computer that does the driving for you. Open a folder that has agenda shortcuts right to the drop data or expiry report page in given registrar accounts online. In a time crunch every click hurts. if you need to check one more thing after your shutdown has initiated, you should be able to grab a glance before the machine turns off. (If your machine never turns off, see a therapist).

2. Write After Breaks

Insert large volumes of time into the domaining workday where you do not type. Watch domain webinars and seo youtubes for information when possible. Use this time as a rest stop to give your hands, fingers, wrists and arms a rest. Stab out your domaining email after these breaks, slowing down the urgency to normal typing speed. Don’t thresh or pound at the keyboard. Domaining takes finesse. You are going to need those nerves later in the day or late at night.

3. Give to One Well

If you leave the computer for dinner/oxygen/Mad Men, leave one task for when you come back, and one task only. It won’t be a rest if you have an avalanche of jobs waiting, and your brain will either relax so fully into escapism you can’t recall pertinent details when you return to “work”, or you will be cranking too hard on the domaining details to enjoy the break. Don’t be that guy thumbing his phone 24/7, texting pointlessly, incapable of achieving anything, because he stopped practicing how.

Getting one thing done focuses all your mental resources on one domain task, and lets your mind seek creatively to solve problems, anticipate action items, and find solutions. Cribbing from domain task to domain task one day is fine, but make a habit of it and you grow to accept an attention span of your own creation. Dropped details are somebody’s else problem. This attitude kills domain and development deals flat and kicks them into the negative integers. Handle one thing, and handle it well. Too many domaining tasks swimming together befuddles the issues and get everything done at 67%.

4. Evangelize on Your Own Time

Advertising and encouragement is good fun, but domaining timelines were not meant to be broken. If you come back from a name conference or domainers’ trade show bursting with the high-energy pitches of 1001 sponsors, take note. Cool it and get back to work. Burn that euphoria productively geting base value tasks done, versus calling and emailing ideas and sites while partners puzzle at the lack of response on business drivers.

5. Change Your Startup/Home Page Once a Week

Sadly, so many people use the factory default home page or their email provider home page as their internet browser home page. But if there is a task you know you need to get to tomorrow, waiting for a result, and order update, or a bank balance shift, change your browser’s home page so the first site every time you boot up will be the one you know you’ll need at least once. Especially when domaining tasks are time critical, with open windows and updated options. This way a functional reminder happens, instead of assuming “you’ll remember’.

6. Don’t Use Your Printer As a Crutch

Thinking you’ll always just print everything out is a time honored way to waste time later. At some future date, some critical data item you just engineered will be called upon. You will send 20 minutes plugging mail and drive files looking for it, or more. Have forms ready for web hosting signups, domain logins and maps of who you passed passwords onto in a notebook.By actually mechanizing the information to paper, you’ll remember better than punching “print” and moving on.

This may save “only” 5-10 minutes” down the line, but on the day those 5-10 minutes may have dramatic costs. Keeping a cab ticking while you log on in a lead-encased airport parking structure using their adapter does have a price. Rushing through an international airport, taking your eyes off the road, using public computers for personal login and email searching, or a $50 phone call in front of many listening eyes and ears can be costly. Using conventions intelligently and taking steps to record password data, logins, and confidentiality paths may serve you well in legal negotiations and disputes as well.

7. Fitness Egg Timer

Nope, not kidding. Set this timer whenever you start a rote task like drop name searching or data entry that can go on forever. As you scrunch your eyes into the monitor, hunching shoulders and dropping slack your lower back, weakening abs, you are hurting yourself. Try to observe better posture, give your eyes far-corner screen breaks, and get a better chair. Schedule normal breaks, such as after auctons close or when interactivity slows on a domain forum.

When the egg timer goes off, get up. Do jumping jacks. Curl some barbells. Yoga against the wall, and stretch in odd positions that make the kids laugh. Run around the block or run up and down stairs. You’ll survive longer at the screen, sleep better, and cut out that dratted 13th hour domaining malaise that mysteriously keeps striking. The “grump” factor will also diminish.

8. Change Up the Home Office

Very few domainers look at the way they work at home and find devices and space plans to assist that style. Most home offices are set up on right angled space limitations. The devices come as they are affordable, and usually stuffed around paper, books, mail, drop lists, domain portfolio printouts, and ornery assorted addenda of the home office. But new innovations and new inventions may exists that make the whole ‘business environment” more productive for the busy domainer.

Domainers manage, through months if not years of this chaos the work continues before one day it will catch up with them. Domainers can drive entire business cycles before cleaning off their desk. Take one weekend and resort the home office. It’s totally necessary but put all unexplainable things to keep get put in a drawer or bag in the closet, with a digital picture on your desktop of what’s in there.

Do the filing. Just get ‘er done.

9. Partner for Data

Build a club online of domain name industry colleagues who can share out domain expiry data and partner for doing certain domaining tasks weekly or different days during certain weeks. Yes, this takes trust. But if you sweat the small stuff every day, how can you build the big domain enterprises that make money and garner traffic? Trade off chores of ugly data stuff for fun domain development. The energy of the new domain stuff will carry you through the extra name chores and give your grey cells a break.

10. Delegate

Chewing off your hind leg to spare your domain ego doesn’t help a domainer one little bit. Yes, domain services cost money and unanticipated charges against a domain auction, web site and domain name development projects can sting. But performing gut domain work on a site relaunch or editing code when you could be negotiating new contracts is fallible tasking.
