I knew a marketing guy who had printed up simple “Schedule / To-Do” forms in a pocket spiral notebook form factor. The difference was that he split each hour into two boxes so that he could schedule two things an hour instead of the normal tendency of one.

He said that he was so much more productive that he had a printer print them up for him.

I’m still not using this. Perhaps I should start…

4:30pm – Start using “48 Hour Day” concept.

Carolyn – I just posted on my blog http://www.yourindividualbrand.com about planning for vacations, etc. You might enjoy my recent post called “Eliminate Try” as well!

David, I’ve often thought about how we can get it together before vacation and came to the same conclusion. It’s said that the time it takes to do a thing expands according to the time we have available. Maybe we should try to plan surprises for ourselves to decrease work time. Maybe I’ll try that.

Imagine the power you have in accomplishing great things in balance when you break your day like Jason suggest. Add to this the ability to plan and delegate every day of the year like you do before a vacation – You WILL balance and produce more!

Lately, I’ve been deliberately stopping whatever I’m doing at about ten or fifteen minutes before the hour to walk away from the computer and do one of those “something elses”. While I’m taking that time to do some mindless task, my head has a chance to re-group. By the end of the day, more things have been finished, I feel a better sense of accomplishment, and (this one’s great) my eyes don’t have so much of that computer-screen fatigue.

It is funny, and I’ve heard of stuff like this before, but never would have thought about how powerful it is until I was forced to do it. Thanks Laura
