This rule works well for me. Oddly, I figured out that I can read dense securities litigation cases while working out on the elliptical machine -- a great use of this rule. (This rule also explains why you probably shouldn't cook and shampoo your hair at the same time.)Niharahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12718615722366998061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632640970016916029.post-32618206877731320032011-07-19T06:55:08.575-07:002011-07-19T06:55:08.575-07:00Missed Periods,

As for your second point regarding limiting daily distractions, I attempt to stick to a schedule of going online one day for fun (Yahoo and Facebook), and the next day only to further my craft. I've found that I and all of my friends survive if it takes me an additional day to respond to the "What's new?" emails in my personal inbox!<br /><br />As for the fourth point of rising early, that is this night owl's most recent aspiration! I get so much more done when I get up earlier. Thanks for the reminder. Kicking myself offline now and going to bed. :-DJDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05234966786590125696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632640970016916029.post-75162446583005717092011-07-18T10:30:55.473-07:002011-07-18T10:30:55.473-07:00I seriously struggle with the busy vs. productive ...I seriously struggle with the busy vs. productive one. But one tool that helps me to be more productive that I've started using again is my kitchen timer. I wear it clipped to my top and set it for 15 mins. Then I work as hard as I can for 15 mins on whatever the task is. After three 15 mins. slots, I get 15 mins. of down time where I can be "busy" on Twitter or blog reading or just sipping tea.<br />Great post. Thanks for the thoughts.Carol J.

Other combos, not so much.<br /><br />These are great points. I can be hit or miss with some of these and need to snap to and be more productive. Thanks for the encouragement!<br /><br />Have a great week! :)Karen Langehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18177923284595298347noreply@blogger.com
