Tommy, I like the 3Ds approach. Simple to follow and simple to remember. I have found myself at times doing everything else but those things on my to-do list. I think in the end it is a matter of balance. You cannot totally check out of the online world if you want to maintain your credibility and following.

Tommy – great article about distractions. One thing to remember – the distractions are sometimes there to inspire or teach. Yes, it’s frustrating to not be accomplishing all that is on the to-do list, but realizing everything is perfect perfect perfect helps to hold a space for all that is important.

Looking forward to more of your writing!

Hey my favourite Scot’s Porridge Oats model!!

You know how you’re talking about keeping focus, and not being distracted? Well, here I am to make you lose focus and to distract you. I’m good like that.

It’s actually a sensible question, and I’m sure I’m probably being particularly daft – but where on earth do I find the API key to set up Akismet on my blog? I’m being hit by loads of spam at the moment, and I can’t find that API code ANYWHERE.

Thoughts?

Thank you!

Hi Tommy,

I have to tell you, blog commenting is not on my to do list today … lol! Even so, it’s something I haven’t gotten around to for awhile.

I couldn’t agree more with you about the 3Ds, but I hadn’t seen it put that way before … I like it.

I’m trying to get an ebook finished myself and it takes most of my time. No time for Twitter or much else, and I know that’s not the way to approach it either.

I looked back at my plan for January and there are many things I didn’t get done. I just have to roll them forward and keep on keeping on.

Best of luck,
Debbie

@ Garry – Yeah, you are right with your example…

That is unforseen, I was looking at it from the fact of offline committments etc, I may only have a 3-4 hour window, I can’t be unfocused or distracted …

I am hopefully looking to do a prelaunch week commencing 23rd February

Fingers crossed ha ha ha

Hi Tommy,

I think it is okay to deviate from a plan once in a while as long as it is the exception rather than the rule.

In the end we are all human and not soulless automatons.

Take for example the other day for me. I spent all day trying to resolve why it would not load in IE7. Now that was not something I planned but I certainly had to do it as it suddenly jumped right to the top of my A list!

The skill is we have to get back on track as soon as we can and also need to build into our plans contingency to account for slight digressions now and again.

Looking forward to your product.

Garry
