nowsourcing.com— After a read of Copyblogger, one my favorite blogs, I came across some great info on productivity / time management for creative work, which blogging and social media is a big part of.

The trouble with all the self help motivation books is that they are written to generate an income for the author and not to help you in developing life skills. Pick up an A4 sheet of paper and write out what you want out of life. Spend a week on it and be honest with yourself. Once you have done it file it. The next week pick up another A4 sheet of paper write out what you want out of a relationship, the type of person you want the relationship with, and be honest with yourself. Once you have done it file it. In two weeks time remove both A4 sheets of paper and compare them side by side. Work out what is important in your life and go for it. Sounds simple; the opposite is true, it will be the most difficult decision you have made in your life.Once you have compared both sets of personal aspirations, sit down and amalgamate the two into one life achievement document. Memorise it. Date the type of woman you desire and communicate intellectually. Keep the trouser snake in the pants until you know the woman. Sex is not the relationship but an expression of the relationship. You are looking for your life partner not to blow your load. The same with the job; it pays the bills and puts food on the table. Don’t cut off the hand that feeds you but look out for opportunities. If the opportunity arises take it if you are qualified to do so. You can bluff your way into a job, but if you cannot deliver the goods you will be escorted to the front door fast.Use the KISS principle. KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID. Life is about food, shelter, security and great sex; everything else is an unnecessary luxury.
