New Rich Experiment Update
October 19, 2007 · Print This Article
Whew, glad that’s done! Let’s see what I accomplished in my 3 hour intense working blitz:
- Added Technorati to both blogs – although I don’t know why it’s out of order on this one. It doesn’t show that way on my dashboard.
- Added del.icio.us to both blogs. Need to explore it further, but it’s up.
- Wrote 2 articles for submission to article directories. Will proofread them tomorrow with fresh eyes and submit them.
- Posted an old article on a forum. Did not read any other postings – honest!
- Answered 1 email. I wasn’t peeking, it just appeared like a ghost (Windows Vista is cool that way) and I answered it because it was a customer.
- Posted on this blog twice.
- Posted on my other blog once. Surfed only long enough to add some website examples to my post. Amazing for me!
- Created a thank you page for this website.
- Created text for a double opt-in autoresponder
- Consolidated info from 3 scraps of paper onto a word doc for one of my great upcoming schemes.
- Answered comments on my blog. Misspelled “forum” because I’m exhausted. I hate typos.
Wow. I would have been happy just completing 1 article. I kept reminding myself of the deadline every time I wanted to stare into space, or answer the phone, or start surfing, or see what mischief my son was getting in to.
Cheers!

Peggy,
What an inspiration – I must try this tonight.
How often do we say we will knuckle down then get side-tracked by peeking at emails, checking adsense etc – just in case! – surfing wayyyy too far out and ending up buying something! etc etc – the list goes on!
I am now going to follow your lead and set aside some time tonight for WORK!
Keep up the good work, yourself.
Regards

Hi Jo,
How goes it? Did you knuckle down?

Peggy,
I’m afraid I didn’t do as I wanted! Once again I was tempted to stray and spent almost an hour “fiddling” with my many files to try and gain some sort of order – needless to say I didn’t do too much in the way of money-making. One thing though . . . I did not buy anything (just for a change!)
Must do better!
I will keep reading!
Regards

Jo,
I think what was key for me was deciding ahead of time what I was going to do. I’m a firm believer in lists. Otherwise, I’m just all over the place!
Warmly,
Peggy
Hi Peggy,
Famous Amos who contributes to the Costco Connection magazine wrote an article a while back related to time management. As I recall from the article he also has looked at time and that we often spend more time worrying about not having enough time to finish a project then it does to actually do the project. I have found from my own experiences when working a full time job, starting my own business and raising two kids that my plate is full and my time is precious. I try to stay ahead of the game by not worrying about how little time I have and staying organized. Before I know it, just like your three hour experiment, I have not only completed my to-do list but have started into things that I thought I wouldn’t, or couldn’t get to. Makes for a fulfilling day and a very good nights rest! I will be following your blog with interest and I wish you all the luck in your endeavors. Steve
Steve & Peggy,
I don’t know how you do it – but I DO know I must try harder – maybe if I stopped looking at blogs, emails etc and getting suitably distracted (see my previous posts!) I might get on.
I don’t want to miss out on anything though – so I will continue to look at your blog!
Regards
Jo
