I’m a member of a few online communities and I need to cut back. I think this will help me to be more productive in my work. I used to think I didn’t spend that much time on message boards, visiting blogs, etc. but just for one site alone I was spending about 15 minutes a day….or 1 hour 45 minutes a week I could have used for work. My new plan is to spend 30 minutes a week doing that and 5 hours a week online actively marketing and promoting my business. and 1 hour a week on 43things, because this is not fooling around. Keeping track of my goals really helps me and I am encouraged by the cheers and I love cheering others.
