Git’r Done – Keeping the theme going
Have been continuing on the taking action plan. I think know that this is one of the big problems people have is not focusing so this week I have been laying out some of the daily projects I have completed.
Notice I said completed not worked on. This has been a killer for me. 14,587 things partially done. Well, maybe not that many but quite often I find that I do have 10-15 and that just sucks.
It sucks my time and energy and without something getting finished it just weighs my mind down (what little Old Bald Guy’s have.). Finish one new thing and I always feel lighter at least in the mind. Won’t discuss the body 
Now I knew today would be a busy day for me. Each Thursday I prepare my Freebie Friday to give away quality information to my Twitter followers and email subscribers but today I started upgrading the blogs to WordPress 2.8. I do upgrades for others so I knew there would be a few extra today.
Those are what I consider regular maintenance tasks. These are the things you need to do like
- Sending my ezine
- Dealing with support
- Posting to the blogs
- Making sure my staff has proper instructions
- And the rest of the ongoing “crap” for lack of a better term
My goal for Monday to Friday each week is to add one new item to my portfolio every day or at least advance a specific item. Today it was to complete a new test site for a concept and Friday Freebie people will get a chance to see it tomorrow as part of the Friday Freebie.
Tomorrow I already have the plan to add a new gift and all the pages for a new giveaway I have signed up for.
Guess the point of all this is to make sure that you are actually accomplishing one thing new each day. Then your business advances and make that the priority each day. Amazing how that has increased my overall production. So today’s question is what did you do new today?

Still struggling with a three day old project and haven’t yet found time for it. Did get my Give Away Blog updated. It may get boring, but your haranging is actually helping and is valuable. Combined with Joel’s take massive action and you emphasis on taking it till it gets done, is a major message that I need pounded into my not so bald but even older head.

Earl is so right. Just reading what you are doing is enough to want to get some serious action steps going. Can always make the excuse of life getting in the way but that is only for really important things. Must move forward. I for one like the reminder pounded up against my head. Just glad it is not a 2×4. -:)

It really has been a busy week for you. Since you are a WordPress expert, you had a lot more to deal with this week then normal, with the new WP update. So I will forgive you if you missed one or two things this week

Thanks Mike for keeping the fire going.
Today I wiped out an old site that I had not ever really set up the way that I intended and set it up with a new WordPress 2.8 blog. The blog will be the backbone for a new site that I have in mind.
Also did the usual of sending an e-mail and posting to one of my existing blogs.
Tomorrow I have a promotion to send out for and will be posting that on my blogs as well as on Twitter.
All in all it has been a very productive week.
Thanks again!

Ah but focusing on at least one thing to move the business forward even when things are busy has kept me on schedule.

like your regular maintenance tasks list. I sometimes forget these things as I work on getting something else done. I have found that the only way I can get a project done is to do it and not go off and read the email or spend too much time in TweetDeck. Staying focus is a task also but it is hard. I did get a squeeze page system up today so O hope that moves my business forward.
