(At first I'd plan 5x more than I could ever accomplish. Now I'm more reasonable.) To keep me honest I send them to my writing group at the beginning of the month, and report back at the end of the month, as in DONE, IN PROGRESS, NOT EVEN STARTED. Bubbles, goals. they are all just gimmicks to trick us into keeping butt in chair. whatever works.....Gretchen Woelflehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10350500006005970433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1337206901491734394.post-49048142920373881392010-02-16T13:31:46.169-05:002010-02-16T13:31:46.169-05:00Great--and entertaining--post, Deborah!

That was fun, and now it's come around full circle, since now I have some new tips to work with plus I'm ecstatic to have found I.N.K.!<br /><br />Just this morning I decided I was going to check emails & update SM sites in the first 1.5 hours of work, but now I've exceeded the time limit by 1 hour! I think the tip on writing your goals BEFORE turning firing up the laptop is key, and I, too, just recently learned to use the shut-down mode!! ;) BOL 2 U!nilkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00560204425714375502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1337206901491734394.post-45328254436113372082010-02-16T11:05:17.215-05:002010-02-16T11:05:17.215-05:00Thanks for the tips.
