I am applying some of the concepts in this post, but with 2 young kids I can't simply dedicate as much time as this person but:
1. I rarely watch TV now, maybe 1/2 episodes a week
2. Given up alcohol and caffine mostly (occasinal drink for special occasion but not getting drunk)
3. I'll let my body get the sleep it needs but if I wake up early I'll just go do some work.
4. Laser focused plan around producing content, improving my writing skills, and marketing. I am not allowed to code in my spare time except for the odd bit of JS or whatnot related to marketing.
5. I am writing about stuff that is bread and butter from my job. I can legit learn more stuff about this subject during work hours as it will improve my job.
6. I think I could probably commit to 10 hours a week of work. Like I said I have 2 young kids, and I do want to spend time with them.
The article has got me thinking about
1. Arranging to have no commute, at least some days
2. Using KPIs or some kind of "Star Chart" to track my effort and efficiency.
- stephsmithio 8y agoThis is great. I don't expect that everyone spends 8h a day on projects (I definitely don't manage anywhere close to this), but even 1h per day is really solid and will compound over time. I've personally found the KPIs super useful in keeping me accountable because without them I have no way of judging my own progress (or lack of). I've started doing some of what you mentioned above, but have a few new things to try as well!
