It helps to list down the things and plan accordingly. It makes the efforts more efficient and also gets the work done in an organized manner. I do try the same with my blog writing and stuffs related to it.

I love the idea of blocking and I think this is a great guide to getting started down that route.

A lot of non-writing tasks can be very frustrating or boring so scheduling time for that would be good. I just wish I could find the willpower to not get distracted when I go online.

I usually just have a space on my (paper) week-at-a-glance calendar where I jot down thing like, “Pay property taxes,” “Call cable company,” “box donations for Tuesday’s pick-up,” or whatever it might be.

I always think I’ll squeeze those things in as I can, but invariably reach the end of the work day and realize I didn’t do any of those tasks.

I’ll have to give this a try!

I’ve got a time block for the small-but-important things set for tomorrow morning after breakfast.
