Just a quick note for today, I’m expecting a call from my wife to come
pick her up and take her home, so I might get that call any minute
now.
We’re 3 weeks into 2017 already. Amazing how fast time goes anymore,
right?
What have you accomplished in these 3 weeks? More or less than you
expected to? What will it take to make next week more productive for
you than this week was?
I think I’ve been more productive lately because I’ve had less time to
waste. Did you ever think about that little quirk of human nature?
For example, instead of slaving over the computer until 5 or 6 p.m.
every day, I’ve been leaving at 3 or 4 to go visit my wife, and
instead of working all day, I’ve been driving home from the office
(about a 7 minute drive, and taking a 45-minute nap at noontime.
And with that loss of “work” time, I’ve been seeming to get more done
anyway. Wow, who would have thought?
Of course I’ve had to make some adjustments. Like following the 80/20
rule more closely. Like doing less surfing around the web. Like
sticking to what Action Enforcer tells me needs to be done on a given
day… that kind of thing.
And there have been days totally lost as well, like the day my wife
was leaving the hospital to transfer to rehab. We were told she’d
leave the hospital at 10:30 a.m., so I was there at 9:30. And then we
waited until 7:30 p.m. to actually leave. Day totally lost.
I read an email from Sean Mize yesterday that made me stop and think
and relate to these kinds of experiences. What if you would lose a
whole day to an emergency situation or some other reason? What would
your next day be like? Would you have survived?
Assuming the answer is yes, why not schedule an entire day and work on
something special instead of the same old same old. Leave the normal
stuff out of your schedule, turn off your phone and email and instant
messaging and even do what Jimmy D. Brown recommends… go to a hotel
room and hole yourself up there for a day, away from any distraction
imaginable.
If you did that, what magic could you produce that might change your
life forever?
And chances are, you wouldn’t miss those 24 hours come the following
day anyway. Facebook and Twitter and emails and spam and all the rest
would still be there, patiently waiting for you to have time for the
less important things in life.
Hmmm. This note wasn’t so quick, was it? I hope it made you think.

Remember, there’s a special section in the forum called “Special
Offers (By Authors), where members offer their products at a special
price to members.
I’d rather not highlight each one individually, so that this email
doesn’t start looking like a classified ad section, but sometimes you
can get some nice bargains and support your forum friends, so please
remember to check it out next time you drop by the forum:

Reminder: If you’re new to Earn1KaDay, or didn’t remember this, all
the weekly emails, from the beginning of time, are archived on the
blog here:

If you ever miss an email, or want to check the archives, you can
always go there and do a search.
Another reminder: I get asked (a lot) about the affiliate program

That’s just a short review of some of the highlights, there is much
more going on all the time at the forum. Don’t be a stranger there,
that’s where the primary value of your membership is, after all.
We’re not there to chat so much (though there is a lounge there if you
want to unwind), we’re there to learn from each other, and share with
each other, and as you can see from the above sample threads, there’s
a lot of that happening.
