<p>I know I really struggled at the beginning to try and find enough hours in a day to write on my blog, design a squeeze page, create sales page, update on Twitter and Facebook, write articles and the list goes on&#8230;.</p>
<p>But luckily for us entrepreneurs someone has thought of a way to help us share the load. Ian Ippolito started &#8216;Rent a Coder&#8217; to help solopreneurs connect with other freelances you can take the strain from their projects or daily tasks.</p>
<p>The company has recently changed it&#8217;s name to <strong><a href="http://www.vworker.com/RentACoder/SmallBiz.asp?txtFromURL=AId_7596861" target="_blank">VWorker</a></strong> &#8211; which stands for &#8216;Virtual Worker&#8217; where you can post a project and pay someone else to do the work for you on an hourly basis or project-by-project basis &#8211; sometimes at a fraction of the cost of you doing it yourself.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.vworker.com/RentACoder/SmallBiz.asp?txtFromURL=AId_7596861" target="_blank">Need to outsource some of your daily tasks or a project? Choose the perfect worker from over 10,000 at vWorker.com.com</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.irenehouston.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/information.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-42" style="border: 0pt none; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;" title="information" src="http://www.irenehouston.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/information-300x198.jpg" alt="" width="204" height="134" /></a>I was listening to the radio this morning and heard a presenter discussing some recent research which states we&#8217;re <span style="text-decoration: underline;">not </span>really wired to &#8216;multi-task&#8217;.</p>
<p>That is, the human brain is designed to focus on one thing at a time (although it does have the capacity to concentrate on many different things all at once, too).</p>
<p>This got me thinking about how you can benefit from this research because if you are busy doing 10 things at once, chances are you&#8217;ll go round in circles and only get a couple of them finished during a working day.<span id="more-40"></span></p>
<p>So the best thing to do is focus on just one task at a time, whether it be writing a blog post, writing an article, designing a &#8216;Squeeze&#8217; page, doing research for your eBook&#8230; ONLY FOCUS ON THIS ONE TASK until you have it finished.</p>
<p>Then you can go back to checking your emails, Blackberrys, iPhones, etc.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll find you&#8217;ll be much more productive as it&#8217;s not how many hours you put into your business &#8211; but how much you actually GET DONE that will make a difference.</p>
