Hi, my name is Sharon, I weight 70kg’s at my 40th birhday in August 2011. I have gradually been picking up weight since then (not eating or drinking any differently) and weighed in at 84.4kg last week Monday. I am on the 3-month injection and thought that maybe this was part of the reason for my weight gain. I have since last week, been drinking about 11/2 litres water a day, eating smaller portions of food and doing sit ups in the morning and evening (LOL, this is all I can managed at this stage) and I have lost 2 kilos since last week which is great. I am still going of the 3 month injection because that may not be helping. I just wish the weight loss would happen faster!!

Comment on How to Organize Your Brain for Better Productivity by Royale Scuderi

Sorry I missed this comment before. What I mean by “emptying your mind” is really like a stream of consciousness exercise. Just take a few minutes of quiet and write down everything that enters your mind. Transfer all actions or tasks to the appropriate list (paper or device) so that you don’t have to carry them around in your head. Those nagging thoughts are a constant distraction.

I’m in the same boat. Even though I get this intellectually, it’s hard to strike that balance.

Comment on How to Spam by My Job Vacancies

My Job Vacancies — Tue, 22 May 2012 07:48:00 +0000

It seems to me nowadays that people just arn’t happy with selling you one thing. It really annoys me when you buy from a source and then are bombarded with emails in the following months from the same store. I had this when I bought a bed for my son, I get an email pretty much every day from the company offering me yet “another” great offer. And another thing that annoys me – why has spamming by email been outlawed and yet auto dialing telesales companies seem to get away with it? I must get at least 10 calls a day from telesales people ranging from Double Glazing to AA cover….

Yeah! Good list. And on number 10, I think Michael Hyatt said, replace the attitude of ‘I have to’ (go to work, pick up the kids, write a research project etc) with ‘I GET to’. I love this change. See the things we do as a gift and a privilege and things that other people would dream of being in the position to be able to do. It changes everything!

Thanks Vivian. “Remember The Milk” is good but these are better. I tried them all. I used RTM and liked it earlier.

Thanks Doyle for reading and commenting. Absolutely I agree we have it in our power to feel “in command” and not helpless. It’s all in your attitude! Regards, Judy

Comment on The Perils of Overplanning by Mark Daniel Johansen

Sure. In many if not most cases, the result of inadequate planning is that we will waste time because activities will be un-coordinated, or work will be done incorrectly and have to be redone. In that case, the question is, how many hours of wasted time or rework are saved for each additional hour of planning? If 1 additional hour of planning will save you 20 hours of rework, then you should certainly spend that hour. But if it will take 20 additional hours of planning to save 1 hour of possible rework, you’re better off to just try it and see how it goes. There’s probably generally a diminishing return on more planning: The first few minutes of planning — like deciding what it is you’re trying to do and who will do what — likely saves many hours of wated work time. But once you’ve decided on the basics, more planning gives less and less pay-off. If you had complete information, you could find the point at which 1 more minutes of planning results in exactly 1 less minute of wasted work time, and at that point you stop planning and get to work.

Comment on Why Complicated Productivity Tools Will Get You Stuck by Saad Abughazaleh

Believe it or not, this is the cycle that many people are on: tweak your style, be productive, tweak too much and waste time, be unproductive, then go back to productively tweak your system. Though as long as your not falling off for the same reason over and over, then you’re progressing into a more productive system of work.

I can’t count how many times I’ve been inefficient by try to be efficient. Complicated tools take up too much time and overly-simplified tools don’t provide the necessary functions to have an evident effect. That balance is hard to come by yet it does exist, especially in tools like WorkMeter that provide the necessary functions without requiring a lot constant attention and tweaking.

Comment on 5 Ways to Spend Time with Your Kids When You Have No Time by Angela Gingerich Brown

Angela Gingerich Brown — Mon, 21 May 2012 19:39:00 +0000

We recently made a no TV rule on Sundays. We try to make as much of Sunday a family day as possible. We simple CHOOSE not to work or do anything that doesn’t involve the family 90% of the time on Sundays. We go to church, play games, bake cookies or go to the park as a family. It’s my favorite day of the week and since we have kept the TV off we have so much more face-to-face time.

Comment on Hate Your To-Do List? Try A Rolling List Instead! by Joao_Brito

I use emacs org-mode and it’s perfect for this approach.
Easy to reorganize, promote, demote tasks, and even archive then.
The problem is, learning to use emacs org-mode takes a lot of time,
so it’s not for everyone. But, as you said, not everything works for everyone.
The good: text only files; keywords, tags, timers, deadlines etc
The bad: it takes a while to learn it.
