Don't Multi-Task: Focus on Listing Only
Multi-tasking is a myth. It doesn't work because the human brain was not designed to do multiple things at once. It is better to give 100 percent attention to the task at hand, complete it, and move on to the next task rather than try to juggle multiple tasks at once. This is called mono-tasking. Get off of Facebook. Turn off your phone. List when the baby is taking a nap. Insulate yourself from as many distractions as possible. Focus on listing and your productivity will dramatically improve because you will be focused.Time Block
Time blocking is dedicating a chunk of time to accomplishing one task in order to increase focus and productivity. For example, in the eBay world, you could dedicate 10 AM - Noon every day to taking photos. Or 8 PM — 10 PM for listing. Or decide what you will do each day based on what your schedule and workload are. The objective is to plan what you will do and stick to the plan. If you have dedicated 2 hours to taking photos, don't do anything else during that time, and don't allow yourself to be distracted unless it is a life or death emergency.Work With Small Batches
Biting off more than you can chew is a sure fire way to get discouraged easily, feel overwhelmed, and give up. Set small achievable goals. Some of you reading this may have bins, boxes, bags, or even rooms of inventory to list and feel too overwhelmed to even start. Pick up 10 items and get busy. Only focus on those 10 items. Once those are photographed and listed, get 10 more. If you set small goals, and consistently achieve them, you will feel productive and keep going. The best way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time.Work With Similar Items in Batches
eBay goes a lot faster if you work with like items in batches. Keep this in mind when sorting and storing unlisted inventory. For example, if you have a lot of sweaters, pick 10 or 20 for a batch. Prepare them all at once, photograph at once, and list at one time. You will be in the mode of working with that type of item and won't have to switch back and forth a lot. You can also use the Sell Similar feature on eBay so that information will carry over from one listing to another and you will only have to change small details, photos, and prices. eBay category, store category, item specifics, and the description will basically be the same.Get the Family Involved
If there are family members in the home who can help, assign them jobs. Younger kids can sort items, remove price stickers, and possibly steam clothing before photos are taken. High school kids can learn to photograph, list, and even ship sold items. Spouses can help in some way — just find out which tasks appeal to them and delegate. eBay can be a great family project. Everyone can get in on the work and then everyone can enjoy the rewards as sales increase. The great thing about eBay is that there are many pieces to an eBay business and some of them can be outsourced depending on which parts you don't like, don't have time for, or would just rather have someone else do for you. Having an eBay assistant come to your home is one option, however, the drawbacks include:- Security issues (theft)
- Inconvenience (lateness, no shows)
- Liability (accidents, injuries)
- The helper could possibly become a competitor
