Man, when my kids were younger, I didn't have time to get anything done. One of the more inspirational things I ever read about time management was Steve Pavlina's article about how
he graduated from college in just 3 semesters. It's not for everyone, but it sure made me realize how much someone CAN possibly get done given a period of time, if they're focused.
For the most part, I try to single task. I don't try to do multiple things at one time. If I'm writing an article, I turn off all the instant messaging software. If I'm chatting with one person, I do my best to not check emails at the same time. Then when I'm finished, I move on to the next thing.
It's interesting you brought this up, because I'd been thinking about posting on the
blog about time management. Maybe I'll do a week's worth of time management posts after my link building posts next week.
