There are a ton of things that I’m trying to do right now.

• Book hours for my contract work
• Work on getting my name out and more exposure around Chattanooga and the Internet.  Which this blog is part of.  Self marketing at it’s finest I’m sure.
• Work on projects that will hopefully bring in money down the road.  Projects that I’ve been wanting to do for quite sometime.
• Prep for our trip to Chile in December.  I’ve got my list of things to do and there’s still a lot of things to do still.
• Keep up with running, biking, etc.
• What else… oh yeah spend time with my family!  Yeah that….

Over the years I’ve dabbled with all the cool and nifty self improvement productivity movements.  GTD, The Seven Habits, etc.  Granted I’ve not had great success with any of those systems.  I’ve taken a few things here and there but it’s still just a mish mash pieces of each that have no really rhyme or reason.

I also regularly read ZenHabits.net another generalized productivity site.  They, ok really he – Leo Babauta, talk more about making small and increment changes within your life.  Small little changes that you can actually succeed at doing, like these posts about making lasting changes, focusing on willpower and simplifying your life .  That is exactly why I am such a fan of this site.

So with that I’m trying to cut out the just obvious time sinks in my life.  Of course there are a ton little distractions throughout my day but I want to start out looking at the big ones.  They are as follows email, Facebook, Twitter to some extent, and depending up where a particular game is Chess.com.  Over the next few days I’m going to try to limit my time on all of these sites. Email will be checked 4 times a day only at predetermined times.  Facebook and Twitter 2 times a day cause I still want to  post and see what’s going on at those sites.  Chess.com is regulated to 1 a day.  Period.

Let’s see how this goes.
