8 Productivity Tips to Take Control of Your Life
There’s a new meme going around the blogosphere that asks people to list their best productivity tips. Here are some of mine:
Time Management 101 – Your Optimal Experience
I spent much of yesterday trying to organize my email and site feeds. My initial conclusion was that I subscribed to way too many mailing lists I only occasionally read and it was time to clean up my inbox.
One of the first things I’m trying to implement is to only check my email (and feed readers) 2-3 times per day – probably around 11am, 4pm and 8pm -ish. I currently have autocheck on, so it notifies me every time I receive an email. Of course that means I stop what I’m doing to check the message, respond or note on my to-do list what I must do later, and then try to go back to my current task.
Time Management 101 – What Does Your Schedule Look Like?
I’ve decided to pick weekly personal development themes to focus on, moving forward. This week’s theme is time management, as time is our scarcest resource.
When you’re pursuing a goal, it’s extremely easy to lose focus. That happened to me last week when I failed to update the site once due to web hosting server problems, traveling, and trying to finish up two major client projects. In short, my site posting goals got shoved to the background while I took care of what needed to be done “today.”
During my frantic week, I took some time to reflect why I felt I wasn’t getting anything done. Of course, we all have weeks that border on chaotic, but I realized mine was particularly bad because I fell out of my routine sometime at the beginning of April and my time management abilities seemed to spiral out of control until last week when I was completely out of sync. So, how do you get back on track (or if you don’t have a track, how do you create one)?
