The 70-20-10 Rule.
Here’s an idea for the organizations that are stuck educating people in the workplace.
TweetIt’s the last day of the year and my book on productivity hasn’t been written yet. I have about 50% written. (http://raunomerisalu.com/productivity-book/)
The more I write the more I find that I need to write. I knew it wouldn’t be easy. But as much as I am disappointed that the raw material isn’t ready I’m also proud of the material produced and confident that it will be even better when finished.
I’ve gotten a great amount of support from my friends and family (you know who you are) and I’m extremely thankful for that.
I will continue completing the book with haste and I’m going to make sure it’ll be great.
Let the motto for next year be not productivity for productivity’s sake but for a cause of better well being and more time with your family & friends.
Happy new year to you all!

TweetDoing everything and nothing instead of writing
Sometimes I just do whatever it takes to avoid writing. Or whatever it is that I should do. Sometimes I clean. And at that point cleaning feels so good that it makes me sick. Sometimes I reorganize furniture and sometimes I redo my website’s theme from scratch.
And it depends on the time off that I need. If it’s a short break I might do the cleaning. If it’s a bit longer I might do the furniture as I first need to use SketchUp to 3d model the apartment and then start organizing the furniture on screen first… And if I really need a break I redo the website. That will take the longest as I really do always start from scratch.
After one of those is done I can focus again on the writing. I really don’t need a break but I need to accomplish something. Cleaning is easy, I can see the results immediately. And when I get stuff done I’m motivated to get more stuff done.
So to do more I need to do more. And here you thought I was writing about cleaning…
What’s your my-brain-needs-a-break activity?
