Just as the kids both go back to school, Andy Wibbels
comes up with 30 Hours, 30 Days: Get More Done by Focusing on Less. Now that I actually have decent sized blocks of time to blog (we're talking about 2.5 hours without interruptions from the school-age set) I may consider doing his plan.
Here's a taste:
Step 2: List possible 1-hour tasks
Step 4: Choose only 30
Step 6: Print and post your master list
Step 8: 30 Days Later (Evaluate)
It's nothing new, but there's nothing like an outside source to get you motivated. (Click here to download the complete PDF guide and worksheet.)
In a way, I've already started this. I finally broke down and got myself (don't laugh) a Palm Pilot. Between the kid's schedules, my to-do lists, and always needing phone numbers and addresses while I'm away from the office and home, I finally had to visit the dark side and join the 1990s. Talk about your late adopters.
So how do you get motivated and organized to take advantage of the time you have to write, blog, or do special projects?
