Our 100 Day Writing Challenge has started. If you haven't enrolled, please be aware that enrollments close on September 25.
Here's a little taste of the challenge, an excerpt from today's message:
Please write this down: "a task is something which takes no longer than 10, 20 or 30 minutes."
If a task takes longer than that, it's a project. In other words, you're chunking everything right down, into slivers of time.
Think of it this way:
Intention => Goal => Projects => Tasks
When you chunk every down into slivers of time, it stops you procrastinating. If you only have 20 minutes to do a task, you'll do it. :-)
To help you to chunk, get a timer utility. Search Google for "timer utility". You'll find little software applications for both the Mac and PC. Pick one, and install it, and USE IT.
I have one on my Mac, called oddly enough (smile) Timer Utility. I use it all day, every day, to time my tasks. Once the timer ends, that task is DONE. If it's incomplete, it becomes another task for later today, or for tomorrow.
If you're not familiar with chunking, the way I use it is similar to the Pomodoro Technique.
Happy Challenge to you. Enjoy your 100 days.
