Me too. You try to make the most out of time spent in the car or waiting between appointments. That is the problem I have been having - cramming all the work you can into 10 or so hours each day.. Scott - Thanks for the reference! I will have to check it out :0) Eliot - That is a great point! I am so glad you brought it up. In fact, I am going to write about it tomorrow I think, so stay tuned. My response is a little long for the comment line! You have a great point though. Being real with yourself is oftentimes the best way to hone your objectives! Hey Josh! Me too.

I recently had the opportunity of taking a month of my usual contracting work as a programmer so I could work on my own projects. One of the most valuable tools I used to make the most of my time was to ask myself the following questions every week: - What's been easy? - What's been hard? - What's made me money? - What's lost me money? And then, based on the results of those questions, I could work out where I needed to focus my efforts, where my strengths were, and what I should work on to improve my business.
