Day 13 - Best Laid Plans

I should never utter the words “tomorrow I’m going to…” because that pretty much guarantees that I won’t do whatever I wanted to do.

Today was supposed to be ultra productive but it wasn’t.  I got some basic research done for some new content on exsisting and new sites.  I also submitted 6 articles.  But then life got in the way and pretty much blew the rest of the day out of the water.

Hoping to have better luck tomorrow.  I think I’m going to go get an egg timer.  I tend to have a really short attention span and skip from task to task which makes getting things done challenging.

However, I read an article that said using an egg timer can help with that.  You can set it for X minutes and for that time you work on a specific task.  Then, when the egg timer goes off you move on to the next task.

I have a feeling this will help me.  Now I just have to find an egg timer. :)

    Hi~
    I am contacting you for some help. I am a new blogger and have several blogs on wordpress. I want to put advertisements on my blogs, but can’t find any instructions to do so.

    Can you please give me some advice? I am feeling totally lost.
    Thanks for you help.

    It is better to have a to-do list wherein you set your priorities for the day. Accomplish each priority according to its rank in the to-do list. This is so much like the egg timer. Make sure that you set a goal and you are determined enough to achieve the goal.

    At the end of the day, it is better to accomplish something than having no accomplishment at all. Good luck. Think positive and believe that you can achieve much with the egg timer.

    I do have to-do lists but I find that lists on their own don’t work for me. I get too distracted and will hop around from thing to thing. I think an audible reminder that it’s time to change focus will work well for me. I’m actually going to see if my watch has some sort of countdown function on it, or maybe I can just set the alarm… Who knows. :) thanks for the suggestions though.

    Do you host your blogs on wordpress itself? i.e. yourblogname.wordpress? If so, your advertising options are somewhat limited. If I remember correctly, Wordpress isn’t a fan of people advertising on their domain name and have been known to remove accounts for it.

    However, if you host on your own domain (i.e. yourblogname.com) then it’s not a problem. There are lots of adsense and other advertising ready templates out there that you can use. Just do a search for adsense wordpress template and you’ll find lots of options.

    As far as what to advertise, that depends on your niche but you have lots of options.

    Good luck and feel free to ask if you have more questions.
