5 success tips
I've been tagged by Meryl to write my success tips, a tagggingfest (new word) started by Aaron,
1) I don't obsess over email. I should shut it off even more often and just get other stuff done.
2) If I'm not being productive at all, I quit. Sometimes I just need a break, nap, bike ride etc.
3) If I'm cranking and really getting stuff done I plow ahead, often changing/ignoring plans I may have had.
4) When I start getting a headache from too much screen time, I try to quit. I can do a lot without the computer, and should more often!
5) I make a *short* list -- 5 or less items I need to do, and throw it away when I'm done!
6) Read -- daily. Something I don't need to read but want to, even if for just 5 minutes.
7) I don't worry too much about metrics, for example 5 tips might become 7 :) I go by feel usually.

post a commentTed,
Thanks for sharing your success secrets.
I very much agree with many of the things on your list, especially #2 and #3. There are times when we are "in the groove," and time when we are not.
Knowing the difference not only increases productivity, but increases enjoyment as well.
Thanks for sharing your wisdom with us, Ted!
Thanks Aaron,
Yes 2 and 3 I feel strongly about too, even though I sometimes have to force myself to do them!
Great post and thanks Ted. I especially like number 4 which reminds of of the many way to spend a day and to capitalize on multiple intelligences - rather than hone in one any one only:-) Thanks.
Thanks Ellen,
I should take my own advice more often :) I was on the 'puter a bit too long earlier today
