Had a pretty productive day today for a change! I sweat I have undiagnosed ADD, especially in front of a Computer! I've been reading a lot of books lately on motivation and goal setting and they all seem to have one piece of basic advice to get yourself going - set goals and work on achieving them. Sounds like a no brainer, but if it was that easy we would all be successful at everything we do right? So yesterday i simply created bulleted lists for each site I'm working on in my Google Docs account and worked off of those lists.
My usual day would would entail creating a mental list of things i wanted to do, but i'd get distracted reading emails, tweeting, reading Diggs, and reading other's bloggers posts. Today, by working off the list, i was able to achieve a large percent of my goals and STILL had time left over to tweet, read and check email. So goal setting actually DOES work! I think the key is to create a "strategy day" to plan out your week and then to create a checklist off of that for day to day goals.
My time is limited, because still have a day job, so I desperately need a way to get ahead and keep up with my projects. I'll never reach financial projections playing the catch-up game and exhausting myself in the process. I think i'll create a daily log here on the blog to track my progress as well to FORCE myself into keeping up with my daily lists. In case you where wondering, here's what I accomplished today:

- Install and Confgure a phpBB powered forum for MikeWayne.Com
- Integrate my Joomla user Registration Database with the phpBB user Database so my registered users will only have to login and register once for both! It worked:)
- Tweet two articles from the archives for a little site promotion ;P
- Tweet an article from my Pop Culture Blog, Michaelocity.Com, to get some more pageviews to that site - (got 35 extra unique visitors from a single tweet, during a slow part of the day!)
- Install and configure Wordpress for my new Affiliate Marketing Blog.
- Install affiliate marketing and social media plugins for my new Affiliate Marketing Blog.
- Login into my Affiliate Networks to add my new sites, change contact info, and get offers.
- Perform some Google Searches to analyze keywords, and landing pages from the "competition".
