This is a topic that’s near and dear to my heart because it seems like nearly everybody you ask this question to has a slightly different answer. I realize this is probably because sharp people (like my readers) will take a “system” and adapt it to their particular situation rather than trying to force an “out of the box” solution to work for them.

So, here’s your opportunity to be heard, help me understand what’s working for you and, if you’re part of Disqus, write some content that ends up on your FriendFeed for all your followers to see.

If you would leave a comment below and tell us what has been working for you and what hasn’t, we all stand to learn from it.

That is the ultimate goal of any community, isn’t it?

I’ve been following along with the ThirtyDayChallenge pre-season and I wanted to make a short post of something that has already paid me dividends-using Google Reader to read my daily blog feeds and so much more.

Oh, and did I mention you can put your FriendFeed on it too?

Since Ed Dale is a much better spokesman, I’ll let him explain how incredibly powerful this tool is.

I found this post by Toby Somerville on the SitePoint.com blog that adds more weight to the argument against multitasking.

Multitasking is a mythical construct that assumes everybody can and should do everything in their life or business themselves. All they have to do is make sure they do a little of everything all day, everyday.

I am a staunch opponent of this thinking and believe that we only do good work when we are focused on one thing at a time. I am always glad to read more evidence that I’m not out of my mind.
