Different things work for different folks. Hope you find a system that really works for you. On being goal-oriented, well... I just find I become more productive that way. :-) And yes, I still have the 'throw caution to the wind' side to me too, in some aspects. ;-) Marjorie: Glad you like the tips.

Wow, great tips! I've only recently started implementing ideas from the GTD book, and while I find them useful, I do prefer having a tactile system that I can look at everyday. I still do lots and lots of lists and have a physical "Inbox" in which I throw things that need doing, but I think I'll try your whiteboard technique as well. I've this huge empty wall over my desk that would be perfect for it. By the way, I think it's funny that you're so goal-oriented. I find it antithetical to the stereotype of the bahala-na Pinoy. ;-) Not that there's anything wrong with the latter, but our people do have a rep for not considering the long-term much, non? Looking forward to future installments of this subject! Salut, Marjorie Hi, Shai! Wow, great tips!

I guess, I like winning - even if it's against myself. :-D Anyway, yes, I hope I get my art time too! It's been a loooong time. Way too long, really.

A bit of time management can only do her good. I myself have only recently discovered the "joys" of it since I started working at PassPack, an online password manager. Using applications like it have given me lots of (previously cluttered up) free time. http://tinyurl.com/37b6cw dani :) I linked this article to my mom, she has such a hectic schedule juggling work and home that by the end of the day she is completely stressed out.

I do set some goals, but I could be more structured. I know I waste a lot of time these days. Before having my little guy I wouldn't have done that. But I'm trying to make sure I spend the quality time I spent with the other two kids. It does waste my time, but I know it's not wasted time. Anyway, I hope you get your art time this week. ;-) Hi Shai,
