Ask yourself whether or not those documents will be relevant to your work in the coming year – completed projects and last year’s receipts should not be living in your active files! Or did you just have a hard time getting started on those bigger, more important projects? Start with your reference, client, and financial files.

Have you ever been so jazzed about your project that you feel you could take on the world? But how can you rekindle motivation for a project that’s become duller than grey ashes? And then you can create a snowball effect that gets you jazzed, full of excitement and feeling awesome about your project. You’re on fire!

Today, businesses can take less advice from promotion-packed business books and a lot more from historic strategy. These small differences might not count for much offline, but in the world of social media, where word of your personal service can travel, they count for more than you can imagine.

However, even if she'd jumped onto that project, the lost productivity associated with the original distraction would still creep back into her day when she returned to the task we were completing. That aggregates to 300 seconds (or 5 minutes) a day of activity with no associated productivity; nothing happened.

If you have a big project due, break down the steps necessary and write those on each card.   As you are traveling and you think of things you need or want to do, you take out a card and jot it down.  .  The cards are flexible and small, so you can always reorder your priorities as new ones come up.

  By grabbing a small project (for example, an article that you want to read) and working on it for a short period of time, you take a few minutes away from the work that was putting you into an afternoon coma-like state.    You also release serotonin/happiness/excitement as you finish a project.

The difference between a failed contract and a long-term partnership is almost always in the risk; prove that your service is already worthwhile and you will gain instant business, while avoiding the dull development period that can plague from-scratch projects. Acquire professional overhead.

It can be as small as a little paperback book, or as big as a cookbook. Those who lose track of time might want a system with a programmable alarm, left-brain types generally need lots of space for lists, while creative folks might prefer a less linear "mind-map" way of organizing projects and to-do's. Very well laid out.
