Writing it down, having a schedule helps maximize what you can get done. It gets tiring, but it's better than doing nothing. I'll check out your blog a little later. Thanks for stopping by and sharing this info.

I try to keep away from my emails first thing as they can be very time consuming and takes you away from your tasks on hand. I also have a timer. It not only helps me to set a deadline but also is a reminder to get up off my but and have a computer rest. Sitting in front of the computer for hours is not good for your well being. I find that if I create a 'To do list' the night before I have a plan in place for the next day to help give me focus. Even small steps are progress. I've read that it's important to get the things you dont want to do out of the way... by doing them first... so you can get on with what you do enjoy. The things left undone can drain your energy and begin to pile up. I also have a free downloadable programme 'To Do List' that can be downloaded at my blog in the free ebooks section which I find is a great help.

It's easy to sit at a computer for hours or whatever and then I'm like where did the time go. Like I have to get up now and get out of here. That's true, it does take time to edit a post, I just wish it didn't take me so much time and then I look back and still see typos. Mikey777 I’m guilty too.

I'm guilty of thinking that I don't have enough time to do a lot of things, when the truth is I'm just wasting the time that I have. I don't think a couple hours is too much time to spend editing a post. Most of my posts take anywhere from 2-4 hours from start to finish, and most of it is editing. I think that if you truly want your readers to enjoy and understand what you write, you have to put the time in. <em>mikey777's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/VoicesOfTheAmericanShiftWorkers/~3/291519264/'>Switching To Night Shift: The Painless Way</a></em> I really think you’ve made a good point with time management.

My problem is sometimes I stay down then I try to catch up = cranky. You do a great job at keeping your posts funny, you always make me laugh...I don't know how you do it. Brenda, nope. Editing takes forever and I still get it wrong. After looking at the post for days, all the words look the same anyway, just in a different position. Yeah it takes time, that's not a problem, I just would like to schedule a time to get it done. :/. Sometimes.... Jillian, we all need down time.

I'm not the only one who spends more time editing than writing! Wait ... that didn't come out right! :) I also have timers to keep me on track, but no matter what I do, blogging (reading and writing) just takes time! <em>Brenda's last blog post..<a href='http://www.enroute365.com/2008/05/im-not-alone.html'>Life: we're in this together</a></em> Yea!

JEMi, I can sit at a computer for hours, then be mad cause I can't get anything else done. I feel less 'guilty' about sitting at a computer for so long when my chores are complete. I hear ya Robert. I'm trying to do better and be a little more productive. Doing nothing at times is great, but thing is..I have stuff to do. ;/ Thanks Gizmo, I rely on these plug-ins a lot, can’t trust myself.
