Day 3: Lost Focus Already

Ok, I can hardly believe this but I have already lost focus and wasted 1/2 a day thinking about changing my direction. I went back to look at some motivational blogs and ended up clicking links to all kinds of cool things that got further and further away from what I'm trying to accomplish. All the while thinking "oh, maybe I should do this instead, or do that instead..."

So, the word of the day is Focus!

A while back I wrote an article on productivity, and getting the right things done. It all starts with a purpose, then goals, then objectives. I've fallen into the very trap I preach to people about avoiding. So here's today's objective:
1. Go collect up all the ideas you've written down in various places over the past months so you can evaluate them.
2. Decide what 2 things you need to do first and write them down. This is what you will do on monday - no rethinking on monday. Just do it.

P.S. I've posted my productivity article on my other blog if anyone's interested (2 parts, with a plan to add more)
Part 1: What is Productivity?
Part 2: I Work Hard, So Why Don't I Feel Productive?
