I’ve been so amazed at how much I’ve been able to get done even while cutting my work time down considerably. It’s amazing how much you can get done when you have a deadline! Your time is the most valuable thing you have…don’t cheapen it!

That's awesome Eric. Great point and thanks for bringing it up. You are right though, there are certain things we should not be doing and outsourcing to people who do it best. Peter Kolat Peter Kolat’s last blog post: Go Be Productive Discount & Stop Wasting Your Important Hours

Very good points. I’m familiar with A. Mondossian, D. Kennedy and quite a few other internet and copy greats. They offer tremendous value; i’m happy you referenced them.

One important activity I learned to do -prior- to the “to-do” list, was from my personal productivity coach Susan Ross; president of Blue Ocean Coaching.

The “Not-To-Do” list!

Creating a not-to-do list amplifies the quality of work in everything I do-do. Because I’m focusing all my energy on my highest-yield activities and delegating all the rest. Because as business owners, professionals, or entrepreneurs there are certain things we just should not be doing.

Thanks Peter

Thanks Cornfield. I shared this strategy here because it has helped me tremendously and I know it can do the same for others. Peter Kolat’s last blog post: Go Be Productive Discount & Stop Wasting Your Important Hours

That’s great Susan. Also, you can carry a digital recorder with you and whenever you have an idea, you just record it. That way, you give your brain some rest and you won’t forget your ideas.

Thanks for sharing. Sounds like you are doing good.

I do some of this now. I have a to do list going at all times and absolutely love when I can cross something off!

I do block time for client follow up calls and my most productive time seems to be later in the day also. I line up calls right from my emails and bang them out and make notes on them and schedule the appropriate follow up.

I like your suggestion about a timer and stepping away. Your brain becomes mush after a while. When I have to write something I just start jotting down ideas and keep going back to it to fine tune and add more…putting a time limit on it would be good.
