If you ever figure it out, let me know. I will say my to-do list helps out a lot. When ever I find myself not really knowing what to do next (which is when I waste my most time) I look at my list and get back on track.

You can count me as one of those people who used to hide behind technology. The crazy part is that I never realized I was doing it.

Best way to start is to start small. Make it a point to spend at least 10 minutes to accomplish a simple task and then build from there.

Thanks for sharing and I'm sure there are many of us who can relate to this.

Great idea, Scott.

And I definitely like the new name much better.

My screw up for the week was pretty much the same as it is every week- not managing my time properly. If I took more focused action and spent less time screwing around, I could be 100x more effective.

I'm working on it, though.

Nick gave a life changing lesson. I hope everyone realizes the power of the advice he just gave. My mentor beat this into my head so hard. And it makes all the difference.

99% of people these days hide behind technology. It is actually easy to get to the top of the pack if you just listen to what Nick said. You will stand out.

I waited until Wednesday to start my week. An all too common mistake that I made last week…and the week before. Of course when you work two jobs and Monday and Tuesday are your days off, the motivation can be hard to find. Still searching…

Scott, cool post! I'm glad you called me so quickly. Don't worry, we'll get some-ting started soon. Yes, I spelled that wrong on purpose

Mistakes, mistakes, how many have I made this week? Let me count them…ugh….

I guess you could say that I had one major “umbrella” mistake….the mistake that basically is the source of all the other mistakes, and that was a complete and utter lack of focus and direction. Oh, sure, I started out with great intentions, but then 2pm would come around, nothing was done, I had to pick up the kids from school, and the day was shot even further. This went on for days…ugh….I need to create a schedule….
