I’m glad you guys enjoyed the post, Diane and Wayde. I’m still working on my own systems, and lately have been toying around with the GTD methodology (getting things done). I’m still trying to find the software that works best for me, but they are all basically pretty similar.

Wayde – I love the idea of a 4 hour, no-tech time-out. I do that with the phone, but should probably consider doing the same with the internet — maybe free up some more time for thinking.

Josh, I liked this post.

I’ve always been a good planner and very goal oriented. But sometimes I would lose track of my progress. Last year I started keeping a paper journal in one of those fake marble patterned note books they sell at the pharmacy. My SCORE counselor suggested this to me. I date the top of each entry/day and I put my daily task list there. On Mondays the weeks tasks are entered. Many times its mundane stuff like “call the masons – Smith house”. Sometimes there is a great idea there too. I can go back now to my little book, to see what I have accomplished.

When I look around at people who are doing well, and then those who are not, organization and planning are keys to success.

Best to you all for a prosperous ’09

I think your list is a great start and very timely as we begin setting goals for ourselves and our business for the coming year. If I could expand on your last tip just a bit – I actually go completely offline for at least 4 hours each day. That way I can really stay unplugged from distractions, and focused on the task in front of me. I also like the “do not disturb” button on my phone!

Wishing you prosperity and profits in the New Year!
