My wife and I had coffee last Thursday to discuss our new plans: we are going to have a daily schedule that we follow that will help us avoid distractions and keep us focused. Here’s my daily schedule that we pieced together:
- Make list of daily tasks and define the Main Project for the day
- Check and respond to emails & voice messages
- Tidy up my desk and do administrative tasks (invoicing, late payment notifications)
- Write a post to my blog
- Take a break for 30 minutes, including checking Google Reader, MacNN, and other favorite sites like Woot.com
- Check my clients website ranking with my Rank Tracker software
- Work on a website design mock in Illustrator for 1 hour
- Take a 40 minute lunch break
- Work on the Main Project for 2.5 hours
- Chisel away at the rest of my list until 5:00pm
So, that’s my day plan. Sticking to the plan is the hard part 🙂
