What are your results relative to your effort input

Do you follow your routine religiously?

Is your regiment scalable? Can you calculate the ratio of input to output? Are your results probable by now? How do you know?

I for example, blog everyday, I have a routine I follow and have committed to it for two weeks. Through this I have noticed my writing skills are improving, my desire to write has increased exponentially. I usually save podcasts for when I go running, as not to be distracted.

• I have cutback on FB to morning and before bed, unless otherwise to update my FB page, nothing more.

• I have been using the 4hww method for checking email (11am & 4pm - daily).

• I keep my phone on do not disturb and it has cut my texting into pieces.


• I also have a Regus.com membership, it's a shared office space, primarily for business travellers or online businesses. There is unlimited *quality* coffee and refreshments as well as wifi, for those of you who are sick of starbucks!

- (Since I am a NICE GUY you can use "NWGOLD" and it should give you a 12 month membership, free of charge! I originally used a free offer, if that doesn't work, just google "Regus Gold Membership Promotion code" or "Special offer". There are always some available.)


• I use a legal pad, nothing else, I mastermind all over it and keep my to-do list on it, then I through it out. It's always good to refresh yourself, and not keep the same piece of paper all over the place.

• I use Evernote obviously!

• I also use my iPad Mini with a ZAGG keyboard, this prevents me from having to hull around my laptop. It's an excellent alternative if you wish to keep your Macbook stationary. The iPad is too big in my opinion and the mini tablets are beautiful, because if you do not have a keyboard you can definitely still type on them. And having a smaller version of my laptop allows me the flexibility with where I want to write content or brainstorm and it's all easy to throw up on the cloud and carry on.


These are several of the ways I enhance my productivity and stick to a schedule to maximize my own personal efficiency. These are also, obviously, some of the tools (utilities) I use to do my work and why they help me.

I am looking to build this thread on the premise of a small scale mastermind. How do you do your work and why or why not do you feel it is efficient: I.E time management schedule, resources, tools and process itself.


ALL THE BEST!
