I'm trying to improve my productivity... It's been difficult lately because I've been pretty distracted, not to mention the projects at work aren't exactly inspiring. HOWEVER, that doesn't mean that I should be just as organized and motivated. So, what I'm going to try to do is come up with a plan...a daily plan. I've done parts and pieces of this plan off and on over the last couple of years, but if I get into a habit, maybe I can be more productive in all areas of my life. SO! Here goes:
Morning
Ferry: Eat Breakfast, Check personal email, blog list, set up goals for ferry ride home
At Work: Set tasks for day in Outlook, Check Email by10am, have 1-2 tasks completed by lunch.
Lunch: 30 mins (outside when its nice)
Early Afternoon: Check Email again, Clear out trouble tickets
Late Afternoon: Brainstorm, Fun Stuff planning
I read somewhere that email has become more of a hindrance than a help, and I'm starting to believe that. I also read that everyone has a different cycle of productivity and I think this system will work for me.
