Like Pam. I spent most of the day “pittering” around. But sometimes, pittering leads to productivity (she says, convincingly!)

Spot on!

Years ago a mentor of mine had me read Drucker’s classic the Effective Executive.

Drucker starts where you do — know thy time!

Thanks for supplying a healthy dose of “conviction” this Friday afternoon.

Keep creating…productive days,
Mike

Every day @ work I have started keeping track of my progress and this encourages me to outdo myself each time I come back in! The trick though is uping the quantity without sacrificing the quality of the work. Of course as I become more specialized this kind of outcome is expected, but it does help to motivate me and use my time in the most productive way.

Ditto on “busted”. I need to get back to my using my timer more often.

Busted!

I have spent last 46 minutes pittering around, meanwhile whining about my crushing book deadline.

Damn you for calling my bluff!
