I have to admit that making a schedule has saved my life many time. Or at least my time. If you plan your day or the whole week you can see before how are your next days gonna look like and if you plan it carefully you will have as much as you need for yourself. Interesting!

My mentor has even said that. He has so much information on his website for me to implement but I have only run with one resource at a time. Your quite correct that we only have so many hours in a day to run a business. I have a blog and one squeeze page. I am constantly trying to drive traffic to both. I definately do not like watching TV. It is a waste of time unless I am learning something of interest. I see on your KISSMETRICS website, you are looking for a Big Data Engineer. Looks interesting. Thanks again Neil. Richard Hi Neil

The new venture is a local business and it's seasonal and something I enjoy. I have a web business that continues to grow but I've been in a funk lately. I've found that having my plate full and with a few different things, I don't loose interest as fast... It seems to help me. I will say, though, the most productive time I've had as far as the web business goes is in the beginning. I was 100% focused on the one Idea and that 6 month period of extreme focus really made a huge difference. Thanks, Joe.
