Dana, Twitter will miss you but not for long. 30 min review will allow you to free up at least 1 hour the next day which you can spend on Twitter. Thank you for your kind comments. I am glad my tips are helpful.

It is hard to say “no” to people. But if you master the skill, staying on schedule is much easier. Good tip. Thank you for the feedback, Joe!

Lyena, you just kicked me off Twitter for 30 minutes a day with:

Take 30 minutes at the end of the day to plan the next day.

I needed that reminder. I reap so much every time you share about process!

Great set of pragmatics. I’d add this: try and take on only stuff you really want to do. That’s the secret to my 2 hour workweek. If it’s stuff I really care about, for people I realy like, it seems so much easier to stay on task.

@Wasim – your approach is a good one: keeping things out of your head and somewhere you know you will look is another foolproof trick.

@Ruud – glad it works for you too. Writing things down does make a big difference.

This post was primarily about sticking to the schedule. I will share some tips about being productive in the next post. Thank you very much for the comments!

Routines & batching are two amazing tools. Apart from that: write it down. For me paper does wonders: nothing beats the feeling of striking an item off your list 🙂

Thanks for the post Lyena: looking forward to the future ones!

aahh don’t we just wish we had more time 🙂 I know the feeling, to many things to do, not enough hours.
This may work for some, or may not, I have a to do list everywhere i go, on my phone, PC, Wallet, you name it, I just jot it down what needs to be done, and Cross it off. Works Well. Simple but efficient
