Well, last week was one heck of an interesting week for me - lot of crap going on this way and that way, but I think I’ve got my plate cleared off and ready to start over again this week. Much of what went on I don’t think I’ll make public - not because it is bad but because it just ain’t any of your business.
Due to me being one busy mofo - I’m going to be leaving my writing duties over at Lockergnome. I still love Lockergnome and the crew, but it’s just not something my heart is in right now and that I have the time to do. Hopefully that will leave me a little more time to spread out to other projects and other things I have been meaning to do.
So yeah, things have happened - don’t want to talk about them - so why write? Just felt like I should at least let that one tidbit of information out there to the public. Now back to your regularly scheduled Mitchness.
I’m working on a little side article and project, but I need your help! How can you help me? Add me to your list of friends on Facebook. Come on, you know you’d do it without me asking.
I want to see it in comparison with MySpace and a few others to see which one is the better social meeting engine and which one would be better for marketing, and a lot of other things. It isn’t often that I do something this vain, so hopefully a few of you will help me out.

Now I wouldn’t call myself the most productive person I know, but from time to time I go have spurts of productivity and am able to do a large amount of tasks in a small time frame. I have become better over the last few years at managing my time and getting things done. I figured I would share how I get things done in order to better help some of the less organized out there.
One good way of getting more productive is to make yourself a list.
Now I know some people poo-poo this idea because it sets a goal that you can not reach. Your to do list might be really huge, and looking at it might discourage you from moving forward. For me though, a list is a good way to help me remember what my daily tasks should be and what my weekly tasks should be.
You shouldn’t put things on your list like “brush your teeth” or “take a bath”. Hopefully those are given tasks that you know that you will do by the time the day is over with. Things marked on the lists should not be everyday goals you set out to do. They should be the odd little things that take up your free time.
I want you to create two notes to yourself. One should be what you want to get done in a day (normal day to day tasks that you need to make note of). The other should be things you need to get done by the time the week is over with (these can be bigger tasks or jobs that you do not need to do every single day).
For example, if I know I have to write five articles, I could try to write them all in one day - but then they would probably be a little suckstatic in their quality. Instead, I have five days in the work week, so I can write down on my daily to do list - write an article. This way one job that would take several hours can now be spread out through the week and take only a few minutes.
Now what is a good way to write these notes to yourself? Here are a couple of program that should help you out in that department. Both allow you to put little sticky notes on your desktop to write things down on.
The great lesson to be learned is to not overwork yourself. Instead of doing one big job today, make it into several little jobs you can spread out through the week. This way you can have more hours of your day to do other things you need to do.

Now I know not everybody understand RSS feeds and all this geeky update stuff - but have no fear! I have collected a whole list of subscription links you can use to keep up to date on what I am doing here on the ol’ blog.
Need more? have another resource listed there that might not be right now? Let me know! I’ll be happy to add more of those cool little badges as long as I don’t have to put them on every single Web page.
My Google Reader Tools and Guide has been updated again. I am going to try my best to keep it as updated as I can - or for as long as people are interested in it.
If you have any other suggestions for it, please let me know.
I have had fun collecting all these links, tips and tweaks from all around the Web - and I hope you have been enjoying checking them all out as well.
This might be the most popular topic I have covered via this Web site in a very long time. You know me though - always happy to help!
Oh man, you have no idea how much fun this is after a day of answering sales and support questions all day long. My stress was totally gone after this.
