Thanks to Darren, aka problogger.com, who is quickly becoming my “go to” sitemaster for great tips, links, and information, I “found” the blog of Stephan Spencer today and quickly subscribed. I guess the blogosphere can be a small world sometimes because I’d already read about Stephan’s daughter Chloe and her fantastically successful Neopets Cheats site from the BlogHer site, only I didn’t know until today that they were related. And I think she came by her blogging streak naturally, because her dad’s got some great tips on his site.

As a blogsultant, I appreciated this post on how to “do” blogging right, especially for the business blogger. As a business owner and busy Mom I owe him a little debt of gratitude for this most-helpful list on time management. Follow the link to read his notes (and then go deeper into the archives…it’s worth the time) but I instantly resonated with the suggestions to “batch tasks”, “focus on the critical few”, and “outsource your life”. I delegate poorly; something I need to work on as my business continues to grow at a rapid rate.

Most time management systems I’ve come across lately focus on time slot allotment. Anyone who has tried to tell an angry two year old that “it’s not your turn yet” knows that a system like that won’t work…and who has time to chunk up their day into little slots anyway? Creative minds have to work fluidly and get it while the gettin’s hot. So “batches” work marvelously.
