Daria, that's some good advice about ways to keep oneself accountable after the fact. Personally I'm actually okay with *sending* email when you're supposed to be focused, since that may be part of the work. It's really keeping myself away from looking at new stuff that I try to control. But that totally makes sense, and it's a good approach! Also, two neat tools for keeping track of how good you are at sticking to your goals are http://timesnapper.com (Win only) and http://rescuetime.com (Win & Mac). They'll both make it abundantly clear whether you stayed focused :-). Cheers! Thanks Bob & Tom!

I'd also suggest that people who don't think they're being pulled off course check their Sent Box once a week to see what e-mails went out during their alloted quiet time, and check their TweetStats periodically too see how often they're tweeting when they meant to be focused on the task at hand. It can be a rude--but useful--awakening. I already have my task list for tomorrow. Happy New Year, Daria Hi Jared,

Great advice to start off the first work week of 2009. I’d also suggest that people who don’t think they’re being pulled off course check their Sent Box once a week to see what e-mails went out during their alloted quiet time, and check their TweetStats periodically too see how often they’re tweeting when they meant to be focused on the task at hand. It can be a rude–but useful–awakening.

I already have my task list for tomorrow.

Happy New Year,
Daria
