So true. I’ve been “talking” about getting back into Ruby on Rails for the entire 6 months I stopped. Finally I realized, if I don’t just do it I will be writing PHP for years to come.

Now I have spent several hours getting a feel for it again and I’m confidant enough to start using it again. I probably spent that much time worrying about getting into it.

As Nike says, “Just do it!”

@Taina –
Glad to give a kick when needed :-) Have you finished that list?

@Randi –
Thanks for the kind words. Subscribe for some more reminders :-)

@Lucas –
Lack of Time is all in your head – you have more time than you think. Tap into slices of time you’re not using productively and you’ll be surprised how much you can get done.

@Kim –
If that’s what it takes, do it! :-)

What a great frickin blog! I love it – you rock. I was just telling my client that the first two weeks of the New Year have flown by. And while I’ve accomplished some of what I wanted – there’s no whining allowed – I gotta get it done! No excuses. Thanks for the reminder. PS – the smiley faces complement your a$$ kicking style nicely : )

This post was a nice kick in the butt! Post holiday is my down time because of my business holiday rush. It’s taken me longer this year to motivate again. Cleaned off my desk today, sorted through some papers & updated one of my websites. Tomorrow I’ll make my list to break the tasks down to manageable pieces. Figure I’ll start my mornings off the the 30 minutes. Thanks!

@Ian –
If you need another you, make it a priority to find someone to assist you :-)

@James –
Congrats on working on the novel! I just started picking up on a (fiction) book I’m writing last month, and it’s nice to see progress again.

@WAH(web)Mommy –
Good – you know what you need to do first. Don’t let this week pass you by without getting that list made (or even partially made).

@Susan –
When the student is ready, the teacher appears :-) Though it doesn’t sound like you need teaching – you know what to do. Congrats on getting started.

One of my resolutions was to start actively marketing my new website. So, each evening for 30 minutes I will do something that helps get the word out — either comment :) on my favorite blogs, work on my AdWords (which intimidate me), join or respond to a forum, etc… Thanks for getting me moving!

Darn it. Don’t I know it.

But January has always been a procrastination month for me. It comes from settling into the holiday slowdown.

First week or so of December I’m chomping because everyone is on a slowdown.

By New Years, going slow has become a habit. A bad habit.

And I have decent time management skills. I just need to drag them out from under the holiday ho ho ho’s.
