have a really easy tip. First thing when I get in, I check email. Answer what needs to be answered, ignore the rest. Hit send. Review the rest one more time. Anything critical that needs attention? Didn't think so. Turn email off. Leave it off till lunch. Repeat above. It gives you chunks of time. thanks

The thing that's really helped me is to get an office. I guess a lot of people here 'work' in the lounge, in front of the TV etc... Don't! Do work in the office, don't work when you are not in the office. Simple but effective.

Google Alert saves me so much time as I don’t need to go searching out there for relevant topics, things, or just to check if someone has copied something of mine online. Google Alert tracks it all for me!

My best tool to increase productivity is to put big headphones on my head and cut myself away with music from surroundings and start to work on the computer. Second best thing is to use Mind Mapping software to visualize my ideas and draw connections between them - it saves me a lot of time in comparison to arranging the ideas in my head.

Yeah, I'm not as productive as I can be. But it's not a problem because life is not-the-way-how-to-be-super-productive. I have another goals

I have found something called morning coffee. It is a plug in for Firefox. It bookmarks pages that you want to visit each day for whatever reason. It lets you book mark some for certain days of the week as well. I find this helps for my marketing/client hunting purposes. I try to do at least an hour of that every day and this has all my lists ready to go for me. I just thought that I would share, maybe it could help someone.

Thanks

I'm thinking about compiling all how to rise early techniques from my website into a single page for the purpose of your project so you could refer it. Let me know if you want my content to be included, or just tag me and I'll know what to do next ;)

I would have to say making a list and putting it right next to me usually does the trick! Great Post

Hope I'm not too late to join the fun!

My productivity tip is based on my own experience, which is that quality is more important than quantity. What good does it do me to do a bunch 'o stuff, if it's the wrong stuff?

So, here's the tip: whenever thinking about doing something, ask yourself a question: "Will doing this help me find, know, feel or achieve something that's important to me?"

If not, why do it? If so, why not do it?

Warmly,
Erika

I have a temp folder on my PC, in it are directories labeled may01, may02, may03, ...
Each day I save the text files, error investigations, screen shots, document drafts, etc., in that days folder. At the end of the month, they are moved into a archive folder labeled temp/2007/05. It's a digital notebook.
More important files are saved in our CM system.

[...]Ground Hog Day without the alarm

â€œThere is surely nothing quite so useless as doing with great efficiency what should not be done at all.â€
-Peter Drucker

As a student of human behavior, I have always taken an interest in how decisions beget decisions. Life presents you with options. Each decision you make influences the options you have later. Some decisions close options. Some reveal options you didnâ€™t anticipate.[...]

Mary Ann - thank you for contributing and commenting.

Productive capacity leading to burn out...too productive which results in doing too much which results in burn out?

The ideas of burn out and productivity are most certainly intertwined and well worth further discussion.

Iâ€™m as attached as anybody to getting things done. I have endless ideas and projects popping up in my mind. Every day there are hundreds of things I would like to do. Some things I have to do. And more things I should do. There is an endless conveyor belt heaping more and more things to do on my ever-expanding plate.

Having seen my productive capacity land me in burn out a few times, I've learned to approach productivity more strategically.

I use the "Power of 48 Minutes." I used to be a Gmail chat addict, but I decided to try this productivity method--work uninterrupted for 48 minutes, then take a 12 minute break. In the 12 minutes, I check my email, chat with a friend for a minute, refill my coffee, etc. I get so much more done!

Here's a blog article about this idea:
