Merry Christmas
It has been an uncharacteristically enjoyable Christmas. Sure the “Holiday Season” sucked, but Christmas itself has turned out quite nice. Endless love to my family and friends that have made this possible.
In peace, love, and other wonderfully gooey stuff, Merry Christmas.
Don’t ask how I found this…
…and I’ll take two, please.
BS
So I’m sitting on the couch tonight enjoying what I think was a bad movie when all of a sudden Britney Spears shows up, with perfume in one hand and a world tour in the other. In the same commercial no less.

it’s time - part I
“I think it’s time; it isn’t like we didn’t see it coming.” Just ask me to stay and I will; please ask.
Yeah.
Oh; so easily? What about, everything? God, could it really be time? I know we talked about it, planned on it even, but I guess I secretly hoped you, we, […]
Experiment: most important task first - day 3 & 4
The numbers
1. Flow (time to reach): n/a
2. Pace (0 - 10, 5 best): n/a
3. Quality (0 - 10, 10 best): n/a

Experiment: most important task first - day 2
The numbers
1. Flow (time to reach): never got there
2. Pace (0 - 10, 5 best): 1
3. Quality (0 - 10, 10 best): 4
A very bad day indeed. Lots of production problems today that required immediate attention so I never got the chance to start in on my task list, let alone the most important […]
Creating opportunity
“Opportunity comes to those who wait.” Yeah, right; maybe if you work while you wait, but otherwise no. Opportunity comes to those who create it; it comes to those who know where the right place is and get there on time. Rarely will opportunity just fall into your lap. More often […]
Experiment: most important task first - day 1
The numbers
1. Flow (time to reach): 30 minutes
2. Pace (0 - 10, 5 best): 3
3. Quality (0 - 10, 10 best): 7
Putting my most important task first went very well today. It took a bit longer to reach my peak flow than it generally does during my best hours of the day, my pace […]
Experiment: my most important task first
On my last post Penelope, from Brazen Careerist, left a nice comment about doing your most important task first. My own opinion on this is that the most important tasks should wait until your brain has warmed up and you are at your best. It seems, though, that most productivity experts think differently. […]
Penelope Trunk has ten great tips to get it done better
There’s a great post on time management over at Brazen Careerist, and reading it has got me thinking about my own process (as I have a tendency to do).
The article outlines “10 tips for time management in a multitasking world,” and though they are all very good tips I don’t think they all are practical. […]
