Lesson Learned: Never Leave Something For the End of Vacation

LJ — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 00:01:57 +0000

It was a great vacation. I left everything behind me and relaxed with my family on the shores of Waikiki.

I really did intend to finish the article that was supposed to go out today. After all, it was just one small article. It just needed revising and proofing.

Oops. My mistake. Lesson learned…never leave date-sensitive computer tasks to be done when I am sure to be exhausted and jet-lagged.

Our regular schedule will return tomorrow.

Did I mention it was a great vacation?

Contest Announcement

LJ — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 17:27:19 +0000

Ah, the power of the wrong headline. On Monday, in Anti-Procrastination Challenge, I announced a challenge with a reward. Yet due to my headline, people didn’t pick up on it.

If you want to be in the drawing for a copy of the DVD that goes along with The Spark, please:

Do something you’ve been putting off for a while
Leave a comment saying what you did here or on the original post.

It’s that simple. From the comments I have received by midnight EST on Mar 4, 2010, I will randomly select a winner to receive the DVD.

Anti-Procrastination Challenge

LJ — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 11:00:00 +0000

Mondays are productivity days at SimpleProductivity blog.

I am a procrastinator. I don’t know if the cause lies in perfectionism, being overwhelmed, or just being unmotivated. The end result is the same: I put things off.

However, I have found the great boost of energy that comes from doing something I’ve been putting off.

A Challenge For You

Today, I’d like to challenge you to find this boost of energy too.

Take one thing that you have been putting off, and do it. I don’t care how large or small it is. Just do it.

The Reward

Here’s something to get you motivated: leave a comment on this post about what you did and I will randomly select one person to receive a copy of “The Spark: Fit, Firm and Fired Up” DVD (US format). (This is the companion video to The Spark) Make sure to leave a valid email address. Comments can be entered until midnight, EST on 4 Mar 2010.

SPB Has a New Look

LJ — Sat, 09 Jan 2010 22:17:51 +0000

I'm very excited, being the geek that I am, to show off the new theme and style for SimpleProducitivityBlog. It's the culmination of weeks of hard work, and learning a new programming language by example.

If you're reading this on the RSS feed or email (thank you for subscribing!) head over to Simple Productivity Blog for a look around.

As always, I am interested in what you have to say!
