[...] What’s the point of a to-do list if it doesn’t encourage you to do things? This is the idea of Wendy’s Motivation Monday. Post a list of things you need to do and, if you’re feeling brave, set a penalty for not completing the tasks. I found this through Char and her first go at this and the crossed off aims show how hard this is. Not that it is not worth it, of course, in fact a failure or two should only strengthen the resolve and encourage you to try harder next time. [...]

I promised to finish proofreading a 200-plus page manuscript by Wednesday and have it half finished. I’ll finish it today. I also need to add an entry to my blog, find more products to feature on my website and tweak it. And I have to work around a goodbye dinner for my niece at a local restaurant, so I’ll be doing most of this tonight. But I WILL get it done, or I’ll do the snowplowing tomorrow instead of my teenaged son.

Welcome, Craig! And also to all of the rest of you who have commented for the first time!

I have already decided to make this a Monday tradition, so any time you need a productivity boost on a Monday morning, head on over!

And Craig – you’re free to create whatever leverage works for you. When I did this weekly with my in-person mastermind group, I threatened to grow out my usually well-hidden moustache *yikes!*. I assure you – I got my stuff DONE!

First time here after the “Bloke” linked to all of us and gotta say this post caught my eye!

I have 180 mails (average over 7 days) that require me to respond or do something daily – right now I’m batting about 90% completion each day (I did with a large technical community) – not sure the money bit would motivate me it’s more than I know another 180 are waiting after I log off

Good luck to you!

I have a set of keys to a community that I was supposed to return over a week ago. I commit to return the keys TODAY!

If I don’t get it done I’m going to forfeit my $100 deposit on the community center rental!

My deadline for myself is today, hopefully my deposit hasn’t been taken yet!

I’m in! I need to blog at least once on all of my blogs – do some paid posts, at least a few, and search with ChaCha for at least one hour, and find someone who can help me fix my messed-up WP blog, Bookworm Broadcast.

If I don’t do it …. I’ll do twenty push-ups tonight!

eeks! Pure torture – I better get to work!!!

No more message boards for me! LOL!!
