Simplify Time Management and Increase Productivity

I have been studying time management, mindset, and productivity. There is a lot said abuout this. There are a lot of nifty tricks too. Set blocks of time to focus on a project with no distractions. Have a prioritized to do list. Plan tomorrow today. Focus. Outsource. All are good. Check your email twice a day only, that is killer.
oh and blow up the television. Americans watch 8 hours a day average, from Neilson. That could be the real root cause of our current economic crisis right there.
One thing I asked myself all day today whenever I started doing something, “Is this one of the activities that make me money and builds my busienss”? Answer is many times no. I don’t have to tell you how easy it is to get distracted online. So asking that one question is big. Asking that simplifies all my decisions. There is always something more effective.
Using Wordpress Com Blogs for links
Wordpress.com is pretty adiment about having real people blogging there and are kind of on the warpath against spammy blogs. That is what I hear anyway. They also fixed it so forms don’t work so you cannot capture emails.
Just as an expeiment, in a small health related niche, I have been writing a blog there. Well kind of writing, mostly I just add related articles (with author box).
What I notice is growing traffic from wordpress.com for the tags. Apparently people search there and get results from tags. Nothing from Google yet. It is a pretty fresh blog so I cannot say a lot about the traffic, except in a couple days it is growing on a nice 60 degree up graph. I did add a link in the blogroll to a more commercial related niche blog and I will check to see if I get any traffic.
It takes about 5 min to drop in 2 articles so maybe I am on to something. I pick articles from different article sites and they are very specific to my blog topic. I have no ads or affiliate links in there, just content.
