Since today is National Lego Day, I thought I would share a picture of one of my Lego sets.
A Different Type of Post For Today
Traffic Traffic Traffic…
That sounds like a bad Brady Bunch episode. So much of what happens on the internet is simply people attempting to gain traffic. This page is no different.
I realize that this post isn’t going to help solve that problem, but it is a current frustration of mine. Instead of doing actual work, or writing decent content I keep looking at stats for previous posts in order to find out what might drive more traffic. Today’s topic is a rebellion against that idea. Since I’ve already spent so much time attempting to look at previous days, I’m going to keep this short and hope to do better tomorrow.
Look For Tools That Will Make Your Life Easier.
I can’t say that I have specific tools in mind for this post. I know that is cheating a bit, but it is still good advice.
How can this advice be used? As you do your work pay attention to repetitive tasks. Often, there is a tool that can make your life easier or else you can create one. If it is a task that comes up often, creating the tool will most likely save you more time than the initial effort to build the tool. Sometimes, the tool might be as simple as getting notifications when certain events happen – such as an email from certain people, or a post on a blog you find useful. Getting these notifications automatically can save you hours over the course of a year. Instead of opening up a page and looking for the desired information, only to find out it isn’t there yet is a waste of time.
Save time where you can so you can focus on the actual things that need your attention.
