Bonjour Kevin,
Thanks for visiting my blog and for the compliment. The blog is doing well but I do need to spend more time on the social media side. Having said that I have 106 comments with only 76 posts – so all in all not to bad.
I’ll keep working on getting more discussion happening.
Merci

Hey Anna you made me laugh. You summed it up perfectly…email…checking stats……reading blogs……oh and now Twitter.
I like the idea of Action Outline, it sounds like a good program. The problem with me is that I’m good at using systems at the beginning then fall back to my old habits. Working online is distracting but I think we can do it.

Hey Dustin, Thanks for stopping by and for the comment.
You know I worked hard all day but got little done. I’ve got paperwork to do and keep putting it off.
I’m much like you I get sidetracked very quickly. Something we both need to work on I guess
Take care

Yeah, I'm one of those who thought about procrastinating but decided to wait. What's really sad is I have the DESIRE to correct my behavior but so far lack the focus. I do well for a while and then backslide. But, I suppose that's a part of life. You just gotta focus! All good tips though. I have been doing a lot of "reading-up" on productivity lately. Now I just have to put the research into action! Dustin’s last blog post..A Step In A Different Direction

Did you ever feel like you wanted to join the Procrastinator’s Club, but never quite got around to it?

We all do it. We sit down to start working, but have to get back up and grab some coffee.

Yep that’s me!

Then we sit back down and check email, then voicemail, and then email again just to make sure no one sent a message while we were checking the voicemail.

Just replace “voicemail” with some other form of communication and … yep that’s me too!

I have been using this fantastic little program called Action Outline for a while to keep lists. It helps a LOT. I can categorize To-Do items according to different projects, move some into “Today” and drag and drop them into the “Done” area when they are done. I even keep track of what I got done every day, in this fashion. It helps keep in self discipline, tracking successful or unsuccessful actions, and organizing ahead of time so that I focus on priorities first.

Like … hmm maybe re-arranging the social networking widgets on all my blogs is NOT the top top priority for today? Maybe? Just … maybe …?

Luca, bonjour from France Sorry this is a bit off topic. I see a good clean blog, easy to read and educational. With an Alexa Rank of #910,788: for the last three months on a site that has only been registered since 2 June 2008, you clearly are getting something right. But I don't see much in the way of social activity, comments, discussion etc. (Maybe that's not your intention) Would you want more "buzz"?
