		<description><![CDATA[My time management skills haven't been that great lately, and I need to make a change to get it in shape.  After my wife losing her job this past week, it is even more important that the business does well, and I lay out a roadmap for the success of the business.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img title="timemanagement" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="246" alt="timemanagement" src="http://www.marcnorris.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/timemanagement.jpg" width="400" align="left" border="0" /> I will be the first to admit that I am not so good on time management.&#160; In fact, I would have to say that I am one of the worst people when it comes to procrastination – but I do very well in a crunch for a deadline.</p>
<p>But procrastination will not get me or my family to the financial position that we need.&#160; After my wife being let go last week from her job, the success of the business is even more important.&#160; So it is time to “put up or shut up” and I better do what needs to be done instead of just farting around.</p>
<p>I have decided that an easy way to help me focus on work instead of just “farting around” is that I need a computer that is just solely for work.&#160; This mean no <a href="http://twitter.com/marcnorris">Twitter</a>, Skype, or checking stats (or email) five billion times per day.&#160; This is a big time waster for me, and I can’t do that anymore.</p>
<p>So, I will be working by the clock, using a timer and working 50 minutes out of every hour.&#160; During my break I am “allowed” to check my email and all that other “fun” stuff, but when I am working, that is all that I will be doing.</p>
<p>I will be reporting back in about a week to let you all know how it is going – I know that in the past when I lived my life by the timer I actually got a lot done, so I hope that it will work well this time too.</p>
<p>Anyway, enough of this blogging – I should get back to work before I need to go to bed (that is the new time management focused me talking <img src='http://www.marcnorris.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> &#160; ).</p>
