Thanks Alison! Yes, the “check email and social media once a day” thing is very difficult for me, but I am SO much more productive.

Drew,

Great ideas, and I am trying to follow them already. I did have to clean up my email this morning, but now I am going to try not try to check until later today. Keep giving updates on tips that are working for you!

Thanks, Alison

Great, glad to you’ll join us! This will be an interesting and rewarding challenge, and I know you’re up to it. I’m going to use a digital kitchen timer set for 50 minutes so I know to take a 10-minute break then.

I’m in. Over the weekend I’ll make a list of my desired new habits. One will definitely be taking a break every hour. I frequently go into some kind of a hyper-concentration zone when I’m at the computer that can last four or five hours. I know it’s not a good work habit, because I always feel really lousy afterwards. Starting Monday, I’ll set an alarm to remind me to take a break every hour. Thanks for the great ideas, Drew!

This is exactly what I need! I am most productive when I make a list of objectives that I need to accomplish and check them off one at a time, but I haven’t been making the lists lately. For me, increased productivity makes me feel good about my work and more fulfilled in general. This is the motivation I need to get back on track. Thanks Drew!

Hey, everyone’s ideal day is different John! If you don’t want to cut back on your social media, you don’t have to. Glad you’re up to the challenge!

Count me in… sounds like a great way to get back in touch with what is important in your business/job/career. The whole social media thing will be tough for me, but willing to give it a shot. This is a great idea Drew!!

Awesome, glad you’re joining me Sidney! I’ll hold you accountable if you do the same for me. Looking forward to Monday.

Drew,

This sounds awesome! I recently analyzed my workday and discovered so many inefficiencies it was almost disgusting. And in sales, inefficiencies equal time-wasted which equal money lost. There are definite goals (professional and personal) I want to achieve by Dec. 31, 2010 and I need to refocus to make them a reality. Thinking of what my “ideal” day would look like is something I will ponder this weekend and come prepared to start implementation on Monday! I have been looking for that motivation to switch it all up and this is the perfect initiative at the perfect time.

Thanks Drew, this will be the beginning of many new opportunities and accomplishments!

Sidney
