on 12/15/2005 I used to list tasks like; clean the garage, only to find myself moving that task forward every day because it was simply too much to swallow. Rather, I found it easier to break down that specific task into smaller tasks. It gave me a greater sense of accomplishment and I was able to complete this easier because I was not trying to wear myself out in one day.

on 11/22/2005 I feel that I get distracted by the Internet too easily. Anytime I have any roadblocks in my work, I end up wasting time on the Internet.
One thing that that I found helpful was to write on paper, then transfer it to the computer. It gets my ideas flowing, and soon I've written much more than I intended.

on 11/22/2005 Find a way to keep your priorities in front of you throughout the day.
'Work first, play later.' - John Maxwell.
Don't schedule to the last minute.
Develop a routine - do the same thing at the same time or the same day of the week.

on 11/22/2005 Don't prioritize your schedule, but schedule your priorities. ... This way you are the manager of time and time is not your manager. I heard this from a friend and am working on it.

on 11/22/2005 Wasting time in my case is often caused by being tired. So do take time to recuperate. Don't work for at least one day per week, and try not to fill that day with obligatory visits and other planned activities.
