Well here we are, September already. Autumn is one of my favourite times of year with a fresher feel to the outside and soon there will be all those lovely autumn colours in the trees. September has that back to work feel after the summer and it will be good to get into routine again after the lovely lazier days of the summer holidays.

I shall be getting my GTD system tidied up and endeavouring to get down to my weekly reviews which have slipped a bit during the last few weeks. I’ve got a new business website to release (sneak preview but its not finished yet) and I’m releasing my first e-course this autumn too. So if you want to know some easy ways to promote your website without having to have any technical knowledge (or very little anyway) get in touch.

Have a lovely Autumn everyone. The free September planner is available for download below.

Monthly Action Planner September 2010

As those who follow me on Twitter and Linked In will know, I am sorting out some systems for my business so I don’t need to re-think things I do often. I think they are really going to save me a lot of time in the long run, although they are taking a bit of time to set up. But basically I try to keep them in mind when I am working and then add bits and pieces here and there as I go along.

Anyway, I’ve just thought of a great new use for stickies. Stickies come with the Mac and have done for ages, but you can get them free for PC’s as well. They work just like the little yellow sticky notes – that you will no longer have all over your desk when you have written your systems! But they appear on your desktop. I like to use mine to hold inspirational quotes and reminders, so whenever I close programs down and get back to the desktop, there they are.

However its just occurred to me that they would be a great way of holding any current task list that you are working through. I was just doing my monthly accounts and have written myself a checklist in my Systems document. Then I copied and pasted that into a sticky on my desktop. Now I can delete each item from the list as I do it, and when I’ve got an empty ‘sticky’ then I’ve done my accounts for the month! How very satisfying.

Does your ‘to do’ list inspire you? Or is it just a series of jobs that you may have been interested in when you wrote them down but at any rate you need to get them done one way or another? Read the rest of this entry »

Life is so busy for everyone these days and as I dropped a bottle of fuel additive in my boot this morning so I would remember to take it to the field, I thought, I need things in front of me. Read the rest of this entry »

Why do you choose who you choose to work with? Maybe because they offer you a good price, or they appear to be the only one selling what you want to buy. But often its because you like the person themselves. Read the rest of this entry »

I’ve just cut and pasted a whole load of text from a web page into a Word document. The webpage had the option to print the pages. I viewed a preview of the print and then cut and pasted the text I wanted. However it does not look particularly pretty in the Word document of course. Read the rest of this entry »

I can’t believe I haven’t thought of this before but its one of those really silly things that you just go on doing until someone asks “WHY are you doing that?”. Read the rest of this entry »
