Daily routine and focus - ideas

Daily routine and focus -- do the two really go together? ...lol (sometimes I wonder). On a more serious note, I ran across an interesting article that I think might be worth reading. I definitely could relate to a few of the points from it. I've included a few highlights below, but do take the time to read it in it's entirety as well...

"Do you have a routine/schedule that you try to follow each day? I know for me, being self-employed requires large doses of discipline and motivation. A routine, of some sort, helps keep me in check and from just hitting refresh on my RSS feeds all day (I'’m an information junkie)."

This was one point I agreed on for sure :-) -- without those handy dandy RSS feeds to keep up with the "must know" things I'd be lost for sure (or at least things wouldn't be near as handy as they are now).

"I think one of the main keys to a productive day is focus. There is just so much information on the web that it'’s easy to get into a little bit of information overload. With 97 RSS feeds that updated every 30 minutes and your email auto-checking every 30 seconds, it'’s no wonder we find ourselves stressed out with to much on our plate -- we'’re pilling the stuff on as fast as we can.

So what do we do? We focus. We focus not just our mind on the task at hand, but we also focus our information intake."

Another excellent point -- Focus on the task at hand and guard against getting sidetracked... All the best, Josh Hinds :-)
