If it is a big project I use a calendar and write down all my required to-dos on the dates I need to get them done to make my deadline. There are different styles of to-do lists and you can use the one that suits your work style and the type of project you are doing, but the main thing is to have one. Oh where or where is my password?

When the results were in, I met with the person who administered it and one of the things it showed, other than the fact that I ranked very high in administration, was that I work best on short-term projects where I can see the end in sight. I will have all kinds of energy to work on a project if I know it is ending at one point.

But there are some people who don’t need a full-time assistant; they need such services only when they’re on a certain project or burdened with too many short-term responsibilities. And make sure you ask your employer to provide honest feedback about your work, both throughout the project and once you’re done.

Other than the reality check of the above three items, it was a great way to see how I project myself and how other people see me. I find we are often very critical of ourselves and it often impacts how we behave or project ourselves. Let your fingers do the walking: Quick keyboard sh. Reactions: 5comments: Anonymoussaid.

Make sure that tasks directly associated with clients come first, consider the financial impact of a project and its completion date on the company, don’t let deadlines control the priority list (expense reports can wait when there are more important tasks), and consider cause and effect (do A to enable B, which accomplishes C).

I picked up this pen a few months ago and have found it to be indispensable when I’m working on paper and need to differentiate between workspaces and projects. It syncs via Bluetooth and with my tiny fingers the keyboard actually works rather well (again, I’m using one of the original designs ). Coleto Multi-Pen.

You bashed monsters by hitting keys on your keyboard whilst wondering if you could hook up a nodding bird à la Homer Simpson. While total writers’ block may be a reality for some individuals, for most of us we’re just stuck on a particular project. However dry the content, someone will eventually read it.

If so, you probably find the old pen-and-paper method helps you to keep organized as you can scribble and color to your heart's content. Cherish it and use it to its fullest ability just as the woodcarver uses his favorite carving knife to make his projects one of a kind. Are you a creative and highly visual thinker?

Thomas Warren is a content writer for Go College , one of the oldest and most trusted resources to guide students on how to finance and succeed in college. Just like plants need wind to grow, writers need some reassurance that they are not just going at it alone each time they sit at the keyboard. How about you? Great post.

I maximize those as much as I can, and when they strike, I get myself to a keyboard. But as you say, we all often have far more important priorities, like family commitments and obligations, or other projects begging our attention. I think it’s a good idea to step away from the keyboard and take a break.

Should bloggers start charging for content? If you were, say for example, to add WishList Member to Men with Pens and offer a paid level of content, you would be, essentially, creating a product. I believe anyone who can build an audience for their blog in the first place can also offer paid content successfully.

Now, when I say ‘don’t write’, I don’t mean you should take a break or get away from the keyboard for a day. Gotta love family;) Blogging, I pretty much hang loose and worry more about getting the content out there in an easily readable form. Thanks for sharing dictation software and I’ll give them a try.

If you let weeks slip by without writing or without working on that one project that really interests you, find half a day each week when you can really dig into your writing. This is where bloggers get a head start: if you have a blog, you have a good reason to put fingers to keyboard on a regular basis. Ali Hale´s last blog.

No delicate tippy-tapping on the keyboard for me. Yes you have to have have fire in your belly and be passionate about your content and business, but a little more care is needed when someone writes an article or sends a tweet that is aimed squarely at someone without actually naming them. This guy had just insulted me. Or had he?

It’s about fan bases more than project per project, so people grow with you and they grow through you. Just once in a while… I find I have those moments as well, and if you’re not right there with the pen or the keyboard, then you’ve lost it. It’s just a way of making a personal update. One shot deal.
