How productive are you?

Sunday August 24, 2008
As a Web designer, like me, you probably spend a lot of time online. But how much of that time is spent doing things that improve your career, increase your sales, or just keep you working effectively? I find that it's really easy to get side-tracked when researching an article or designing a website. So I'm always looking for ways to be more productive. The article 14 Simple Things to Boost Your Online Productivity from MakeUseOf.com really does have simple things you can do to be more productive. I already do a number of them - from consolidating my email in one place, to using an application launcher (I prefer ActiveWords for Windows, but I do use QuickSilver on my Mac). What do you do to stay productive?

I suppose that I do spend way too much time browsing the about.com site. :=)

I’m sure that it will be, especially for use in the future.

In the meantime, though, I can wander around picking up various tidbits, tips, and links while not getting any of my current work done. That’s all I meant by my comment. :=)

I must say that I that it is eady to get side tracked into looking at other things as they come up on your browser. For me, I try to stay conscious of time and focus on the subject matter. A site like about .com is quite informative and useful on the topic of web design.
