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 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.

As we start working on our goals for 2008 it’s easy to get so excited about moving our plans forward that we may forget some of the things we did in 2007 that detracted from our progress.

One of the the biggest of these is time wasters.

They make take several forms and may even disguise themselves as “research” or “background” or “experience” but they really aren’t any of these. What they are is frustrating, attitude-destroying, daily goal-crushing, time management twilight zones and here’s three ways you know when you’re caught in one.
