How do you manage your time as an online worker? Considering that most online jobs seem to be unsupervised, most online workers can choose to work at any time of the day, or night, as they wish. But surprisingly enough, by the end of the day, most of them will have done almost nothing. The reason usually is attributed time management — most online workers don’t plan their time.

Of course, there is time for everything — you don’t have to fore-go some activities at the expense of others.Have some goal in mind. Ask yourself how much money you want to make each month. Note that down and work towards fulfilling it.
