Q: I’m Spending TOO Much Time On eBay! How Do I Stop?
A: Ahhh…spoken like a true eBay addict! 
Been there, trust me! Last year (yikes, where does the time go?) I wrote an article that received a great response. It is titled How To Manage Your Time Better While Working In A Home Office. Some tried and true tips that I still live by.
Of course, there are those of us that tend to be a bit over productive and realize that the entire day and/or night has just passed us by while clicking away getting a ton of listings up on eBay. (Raising my hand in the air….guilty!)
It just feels SO GOOD to be productive, doesn’t it?!
Of course, my husband sits, watching t.v – watching the girls – wondering when dinner is going to be ready….GRRRRR…he’s just about ready to throw the computer out the window, giving ME the LOOK!
Well, at one time he was not so supportive of what I do. But that’s a different post all together… 
Things have worked out.
Anyway, back to How Do I Stop?
This could pertain to any work at home business for that matter. It’s great to be productive as long as you’re getting things accomplished! Listing your items on eBay is potentially only going to make you money, right? Absolutely!
However, continually burning the candle on both ends is only going to lead to burn out.
Pace Yourself!
This is just one of those things you are going to have to practice at if you’re continually in “eBay mode”. Try setting a stop watch each day. What? Don’t Have a Stop Watch?
Check out this one that you can use right on your computer:

If you have 8 hours to work in a day – set it for 8 hours and then when time is up – hands off the keyboard, or whatever you’re doing – JUST STOP! Step away, and call it a day.
If you’re productive and getting things accomplished – it’s only more incentive to WANT to start again the next day. Much better than getting burned out, isn’t it?
There’s nothing better than ending on a high and starting on a high! Give it a shot and let me know what you think!
