Now I go straight to work and accomplish one thing before checking my email or getting online or anything. And I lived to tell about it:) So check it out at http://zenhabits.net/focus-book/Crystalhttp://www.thebest50years.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5079321022356166436.post-4488805116183913842011-01-11T19:48:34.039-08:002011-01-11T19:48:34.039-08:00I've never really considered doing this, but I...I've never really considered doing this, but I guess I'm in the right place right now that it really hit home. There's so much I "need" to do in a day, but I must be wasting an incredible amount of time without knowing it (excessive email checking, popping down to the fridge...). I think tracking in this way could be extremely beneficial.AJWaltonhttp://renegadewriter.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5079321022356166436.post-66568772947062833422011-01-08T05:56:15.915-08:002011-01-08T05:56:15.915-08:00You just gave me an idea that might actually work ...You just gave me an idea that might actually work for me, Prerna - thanks! I have an aversion to time studies left over from my public health days, but separately tracking online time right here on my computer sounds doable. And it's the online time I need to better manage at this point. I can even use OneNote, my new favorite:)Crystalhttp://www.thebest50years.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5079321022356166436.post-86566299185893413502011-01-07T21:23:17.228-08:002011-01-07T21:23:17.228-08:00Hi Crystal, what I've done over the last few m...Hi Crystal, what I've done over the last few months is track my time online. Nothing fancy. Just simply noting down how I spend my limited time online and this month onwards, I'm optimizing that. For my offline life, I use a notebook. Knowing where your time goes is a great way of getting productive and organized. Am so glad you're doing this.. Do keep us posted about how you fare Prernahttp://www.themomwrites.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5079321022356166436.post-51641451623263591542011-01-07T09:53:46.593-08:002011-01-07T09:53:46.593-08:00I hear you, Christina - it's just too easy to ...I hear you, Christina - it's just too easy to relax rather than work. But today was my second day on the new schedule and it's really working! It's so nice to plow through the less enjoyable writing during peak time and then have the rest of the day open for other things:)Crystalhttp://www.thebest50years.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5079321022356166436.post-21772261789157330142011-01-07T06:45:28.008-08:002011-01-07T06:45:28.008-08:00Hey Crystal,

Heh - I should definitely get back to work.<br /><br />ChristinaChristina Crowehttp://www.cashcampfire.comnoreply@blogger.com
