Don't Give Your Users Shit Work

Wed, 02 Nov 2011 21:00:07 +0000

Some people still like shit work. They can spend an hour moving Twitter accounts to special Lists, and then at the end of it look back and say “Boy, I spent an hour doing this. I really accomplished a lot today!” You didn’t. You did shit work.

Take 18 Minutes to Keep Your Days on Track - Time management - Lifehacker

Fri, 24 Jul 2009 17:37:30 +0000

"Basically, you'll start the day off right by grabbing a sheet of paper and writing down the goals which you can realistically accomplish that day. The important part is to immediately assign time slots to those tasks by order of importance and difficulty because these designated times make you more likely to accomplish your goals and give you a way of tracking your progress once every hour. At the end of the work day, you'll take a few minutes to review not just the last hour, but the entire day."

Really Simple Goal Setting | Zen Habits

Thu, 25 Sep 2008 18:09:54 +0000

"You can still do the other goals, but put them off for a month or two. Focus on one goal for at least a month … and turn it into a habit. So if you want to run a marathon, create the habit of running each day. If you want to write a novel, create the habit of writing each morning. If you want to create a successful blog, create the habit of writing insanely useful posts each day. Once your first goal becomes a habit and is on autopilot, turn to the next goal — you don’t have to worry as much about the first goal because it has become automatic."

iconocla.st -- a weblog by Schuyler D. Erle

""When you put a thing on your to-do list, you are making a committment to do it," he says to me. "Meaning you aren't going to do some other things." He pauses. "So you have to choose between those things. Now, why do you have to choose?" ... I think about this for a second. "Because your time is limited?" I venture hopefully. ... "BECAUSE YOU ARE GOING TO FUCKING DIE," he responds. ... At this, the student was enlightened. ... Rich went on to observe that one's to-do list, in whatever form, is ultimately a skull on the desk, a memento mori, a reminder that our time here really is limited and we ought to make the most of it, in as much as the list is also meant to be a tool for helping one actually do so."
