Bowlby Wed, 12 Mar 2008 12:22:43 +0000 http://emomsathome.com/freelance-parent/got-to-get-it-done/#comment-5233 I love this idea! I'm going to have to incorporate it into my routines (especially when it comes to cleaning the house). As far as incorporating the idea into business - the idea of answering 1 email or responding to 1 blog comment on my own blog are definitely good items. I'm trying to get "out there" in the blogging world by commenting on other blogs more... so 1 blog comment on Someone Else's blog is another good item to add. If time for billing - write/send 1 invoice. For client work - most jobs will take longer to complete, but if it is a quick change (maybe updating web site content, for example) then tackle 1 client's updates at a time. Or for larger projects, break it down into smaller tasks and tackle 1 of the individual items. Thanks for the suggestion! I'm always looking for good productivity tips, as I sometimes tend to procrastinate. This seems to be a great way to help deal with that (at least a little bit, lol). :) <em>Selene M.

Now I just find myself in desperate need to break things down to be manageable. Deb - I love the idea of the "fast fifteen." I wonder if there's any way on earth I could talk my husband into that. Seriously, I think that could so make my life easier! Melissa – Oh, I definitely did it before the baby. Now I just find myself in desperate need to break things down to be manageable.

It also became the bedtime story signal. Between supper (dinner) and bedtime we had the “fast fifteen” just to reclaim the living or family room so we could sit down and not stare at clutter.
