I keep a running todo list and schedule in my pocket, I try to make sure that for every three or four things I put down I toss in a reward item. I also try not to work for more than 30-45 minutes without a break.. It’s made me much faster and helped me keep focus.

I’ve also systemized everything with auto to do lists, auto emails, etc. I just put in the job and the organization takes care of itself.

I’ve also done a lot to completely eliminate the paper, with the exption of the running to do list and hopefully this fall I’m going to be able to pick up a tablet PC to eliminate the paperwork that needs signed and go 100% paperless.

Having more time for myself is a very very nice benifit to staying focused and being methodical.
