| rsidneysmith | Join us for the last #ProdChat of 2016! We’re discussing separating personal and business #productivity! https://t.co/UpMa4nAwza | Thu Dec 29 01:08:01 +0000 2016 |
| rsidneysmith | @caplady1225 I’m glad to hear! I’ve been well…albeit just a simpleton on @Habitica, I’ve been steady! Lol. #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:08:02 +0000 2016 |
| JKatzaman | @rsidneysmith Productively, I’m off and just unwinding this week. The “fun” resumes Tuesday. #ProdChat | Thu Dec 29 01:08:15 +0000 2016 |
| rogue_crayon99 | A1 just re-started my long-overdue decluttering project. #letitgo #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:08:44 +0000 2016 |
| macbikegeek | @rogue_crayon99 seems to me decluttering is a neverending battle. 😉 #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:09:25 +0000 2016 |
| ChaimShapiro | .@JKatzaman I have been in #CareerServices TOO long. I misread “resumes” and wondered why you were working on them @rsidneysmith #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:09:37 +0000 2016 |
| rsidneysmith | @JKatzaman That’s a nice holiday time off! 🙂 #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:09:39 +0000 2016 |
| rsidneysmith | Q1: What are some reasons why you would want/need to separate your business and personal #productivity? #prodchat https://t.co/D0fXP9qAD2 | Thu Dec 29 01:10:01 +0000 2016 |
| ChaimShapiro | A1 That’s why I DON’T like to work from home- I get TOO distracted #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:10:43 +0000 2016 |
| macbikegeek | a1 I have to track work time and I track most of my time, so I separate more by priorities, so the day may have a mix of both. #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:11:37 +0000 2016 |
| michelle1908 | A1: Re: lists – If your task management app doesn’t let you filter, you might use 2 separate apps. #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:11:43 +0000 2016 |
| OmnipoTony | A1 especially with social media managing. Making sure the two never intertwine #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:11:44 +0000 2016 |
| rsidneysmith | @ChaimShapiro Keeping distractions at bay is a good reason, Chaim! #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:12:05 +0000 2016 |
| rsidneysmith | A1: For some it’s because of legal, regulatory or other issues related to specific industries or working in government. #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:12:43 +0000 2016 |
| JKatzaman | A1 Business and personal have to stay separate. The combination would be an unstoppable buzz saw through mental health. #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:12:46 +0000 2016 |
| rogue_crayon99 | A1 it’s tempting to say “work-life balance” but as a one-person band, things can get messy without drawing lines #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:13:07 +0000 2016 |
| 2Patra | #prodchat yea but it is easier to paint ur nails while doing this than would be at work VBG | Thu Dec 29 01:13:15 +0000 2016 |
| ChaimShapiro | So, HOW many people looked at #Twitter and wondered if Shoeless Joe Jackson just died? #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:13:31 +0000 2016 |
| caplady1225 | A1 separation is important for keeping a sane mind and not viewing business/personal data mixed in your system #Prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:13:47 +0000 2016 |
| rsidneysmith | @ChaimShapiro I’m in Tweetdeck so I’m not seeing trending topics! 😛 #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:13:58 +0000 2016 |
| IWillSimpson | RT @ChaimShapiro: So, HOW many people looked at #Twitter and wondered if Shoeless Joe Jackson just died? #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:14:46 +0000 2016 |
| rsidneysmith | Q2: Do you have distinct business and personal contexts in your work and life? If so, explain. #prodchat https://t.co/xfp8tKkdTx | Thu Dec 29 01:15:01 +0000 2016 |
| 2Patra | @rsidneysmith Q1 my mind segregates them, also easier to manage paperwork side thus #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:15:20 +0000 2016 |
| michelle1908 | A2: I use different tags for work and personal tasks in my task management app #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:16:16 +0000 2016 |
| JKatzaman | @ChaimShapiro Anyone of that notion never watched Field of Dreams. #ProdChat | Thu Dec 29 01:16:44 +0000 2016 |
| ChaimShapiro | I’ve been in Iowa…. #ProdChat https://t.co/B9YLwq22DK | Thu Dec 29 01:17:24 +0000 2016 |
| macbikegeek | a2 I use different @Trello boards for work and personal projects. One account so I can get to all boards and get unified views. #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:17:57 +0000 2016 |
| rsidneysmith | A2: I several work contexts and then the rest are personal by default. This helps me have clear lines between the two. #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:17:58 +0000 2016 |
| rsidneysmith | A2: In my system, I primarily use tags to filter between business and personal. Saved Searches (Evernote) and Smart Lists (RTM). #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:18:52 +0000 2016 |
| ChaimShapiro | Dubuque Iowa of ALL places… #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:19:02 +0000 2016 |
| JKatzaman | A2 I hardly ever see anyone from business personally. It helps keep a nice dividing line in place. #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:19:30 +0000 2016 |
| rsidneysmith | Q3: How as BYOD (bring your own device) policies affected keeping business and personal productivity separate?… https://t.co/U1RSuCqbyC | Thu Dec 29 01:20:01 +0000 2016 |
| rsidneysmith | A2: As a #GTD practitioner, I have one system, but it’s easy to see different contexts quickly and easily. #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:20:04 +0000 2016 |
| rogue_crayon99 | A2 anything involving family and passion projects = personal. #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:20:37 +0000 2016 |
| OmnipoTony | A2 I’ve mostly used @trello and other social media management tools for work never personally #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:20:50 +0000 2016 |
| DrFrankBuck | A2 Hello all. Just joining. I have always kept personal and professional together. #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:21:20 +0000 2016 |
| OmnipoTony | A3 I wouldn’t access work accounts from my personal phone unless it was needed but never been the case #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:21:40 +0000 2016 |
| caplady1225 | A2 no tags but project labels are key for me #Prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:22:10 +0000 2016 |
| michelle1908 | A3: We don’t have those at my job. I do forward all meeting invites to my gmail address so everything is on my calendar though #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:22:16 +0000 2016 |
| DrFrankBuck | A2 My work and play have always overlapped, so it’s worked worked me. #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:22:19 +0000 2016 |
| rsidneysmith | @DrFrankBuck Hi, Frank! Great to have you join us! How’re you today, sir? #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:22:28 +0000 2016 |
| caplady1225 | A3 now that i can finally bring my electronics to work having my ipad at work helps my personal side projects #Prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:22:50 +0000 2016 |
| JKatzaman | A3 Bring your own device lets me telework. Yes, I’m home then, but no one else is. #ProdChat | Thu Dec 29 01:22:59 +0000 2016 |
| 2Patra | @rsidneysmith Q3 this is big issue for many #entrepreneurs #smallbiz but learning discovery rules often creates change #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:23:19 +0000 2016 |
| rsidneysmith | @2Patra eDiscovery rules have had a significant impact on EEs’ BYOD choices, for sure! #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:23:59 +0000 2016 |
| macbikegeek | a3 we have always had support for access to work from personal devices, now more institutionalized. Have used that for travel lots #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:24:12 +0000 2016 |
| rsidneysmith | @OmnipoTony That’s good you’ve been able to keep that separation. #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:24:26 +0000 2016 |
| rsidneysmith | Q4: What’s the best way for you to set up your tasks, projects and calendars separately at home from work? #prodchat https://t.co/qUKzsfimFF | Thu Dec 29 01:25:01 +0000 2016 |
| OmnipoTony | @rsidneysmith I sure hope to continue that even though it helps that not all social media management tools have an app…yet #ProdChat | Thu Dec 29 01:26:22 +0000 2016 |
| 2Patra | #prodchat eDiscivery also on their bosses when realize personal could be found/used if commingled w/biz | Thu Dec 29 01:26:30 +0000 2016 |
| rsidneysmith | A4: If you want to keep a distinct separation, I’d say the best way is different devices altogether. #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:26:31 +0000 2016 |
| michelle1908 | A4: I combine my calendars. Tags work well in my other apps #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:26:57 +0000 2016 |
| OmnipoTony | @rsidneysmith A4 using @trello and google drive help with all of that especially when multiple people are involved #ProdChat | Thu Dec 29 01:27:07 +0000 2016 |
| rsidneysmith | @2Patra Yes, I’ve seen it mostly in commingled business-financial assets in divorces. Oof! #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:27:30 +0000 2016 |
| toxicdata | A1 separation is important for keeping a sane mind and not viewing business/toxic waste mixed in your system #Prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:27:44 +0000 2016 |
| macbikegeek | a4 I use my work Outlook calendar as primary for all, extra personal cals, @Trello for both tasks and projects via separate boards #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:27:45 +0000 2016 |
| DrFrankBuck | A4 The calendar is easy with Google Calendar. I do separate my appointments from events I simply want to see w/ diff calendars #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:27:59 +0000 2016 |
| rsidneysmith | A4: Obviously, using separate user accounts (on the same device) is also a pretty defined way of keeping business & pers. apart. #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:28:10 +0000 2016 |
| michelle1908 | A4: I don’t add person info to my work calendar though #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:28:38 +0000 2016 |
| rsidneysmith | @OmnipoTony Yes, I love how you can update collaborators on @trello so easily! #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:28:41 +0000 2016 |
| rogue_crayon99 | A4 Pen, paper, tape and a wall for major tasks/projects. Like giant post-it notes. #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:29:28 +0000 2016 |
| rsidneysmith | Q5: How do you do separate planning for business and personal? #prodchat https://t.co/YunckWUUgG | Thu Dec 29 01:30:02 +0000 2016 |
| JKatzaman | A4 For calendars, work is on Outlook, personal is on Google. #ProdChat | Thu Dec 29 01:30:21 +0000 2016 |
| OmnipoTony | @rsidneysmith @trello It’s a huge time saver and great way to keep people in check #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:30:40 +0000 2016 |
| michelle1908 | A5: Work project plans are in Word/Excel on my work computer. Personal project plans are in Google Docs #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:31:01 +0000 2016 |
| rsidneysmith | @OmnipoTony @trello Yes, it reduces email and it allows me to stay up-to-date at-a-glance while still managing tasks in my system. #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:31:19 +0000 2016 |

| rsidneysmith | A5: I plan on mind maps personally, but usually plan using #GTD Natural Planning Model sessions for work. Not always, but usu. #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:33:11 +0000 2016 |
| caplady1225 | A4 odd for tasks i like a clean split but a shared calendar or work/home is OK i like the unified view of timed based appts #Prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:33:12 +0000 2016 |
| OmnipoTony | @rsidneysmith @trello Also adding @SlackHQ in to the mix helps a lot #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:33:13 +0000 2016 |

| 2Patra | A4 Wow I could never do 2 calendars but do separate rest #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:34:41 +0000 2016 |
| rsidneysmith | Q6: Do you separate reviewing and reflecting for business and personal? #prodchat https://t.co/Ydosmxkbjo | Thu Dec 29 01:35:01 +0000 2016 |
| rsidneysmith | A5a: I tend to plan at scheduled times in my calendar (self-meetings) for personal and business so they’re at different times. #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:35:21 +0000 2016 |
| caplady1225 | A5 at work we are forced into MS project but i don’t go that formal with personal i like making lists #Prodchat https://t.co/OzclM170tf | Thu Dec 29 01:35:21 +0000 2016 |
| rogue_crayon99 | A5 I keep one digital calendar w/ alarms etc. and again, a pen/paper one for the impending zombie apocalypse. #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:35:35 +0000 2016 |
| michelle1908 | A6: I haven’t done a weekly review in forever, but when I do I review personal and business at the same time #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:36:08 +0000 2016 |
| macbikegeek | a5 I sound like a broken @Trello record. I do use mind maps sometimes. @project for big work projects. #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:36:33 +0000 2016 |
| JKatzaman | A6 There are times and places in business and personally to review and reflect as needed for each. #ProdChat | Thu Dec 29 01:37:23 +0000 2016 |
| rsidneysmith | @michelle1908 Any kind of review is better than no review! 🙂 #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:37:25 +0000 2016 |
| michelle1908 | @rsidneysmith True! #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:37:43 +0000 2016 |
| caplady1225 | @macbikegeek its good feedback i’ve used @trello more this year as i learned i like lists and visual based listing even better #Prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:38:57 +0000 2016 |
| rsidneysmith | A6: In my reviewing/reflecting routines, they have different times. Impromptu reflection happens messily so sometimes overlap. #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:39:04 +0000 2016 |
| macbikegeek | A6 First pass of Today view, together. Finish off quick personal and then on to review and reflect for work. #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:39:27 +0000 2016 |
| rsidneysmith | Q7: How to separate business and personal data on your mobile devices and computers? #prodchat https://t.co/9bDL7AqOwB | Thu Dec 29 01:40:01 +0000 2016 |
| caplady1225 | A6 i’m bad no weekly reviews for work lol only for personal endeavors i def would love to be disciplined to do WR for both areas #Prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:40:28 +0000 2016 |
| rsidneysmith | A7: My devices have separate business and personal accounts managed by Google and G Suite, so it’s fairly clear lines. #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:40:55 +0000 2016 |
| macbikegeek | a7 separate machines except email (IMAP), so data naturally gets segregated. Clean up personal machine if I had to load work stuff #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:42:14 +0000 2016 |
| rsidneysmith | @macbikegeek IMAP saved my life when it comes to separating personal and business email data on computers. #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:43:18 +0000 2016 |
| JKatzaman | A7 My personal laptop ports into my office PC for telework. I can’t even accidentally copy from one device to the other. #ProdChat | Thu Dec 29 01:43:47 +0000 2016 |
| rsidneysmith | @JKatzaman Very helpful! #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:44:04 +0000 2016 |
| rsidneysmith | Q8: How do you separate business and personal focus at work, home, on travel, etc.? #prodchat https://t.co/3pZMNkO9FY | Thu Dec 29 01:45:01 +0000 2016 |
| rsidneysmith | A8: I try to work on personal calls separate from business calls, and so on with all context-based actions. It helps me focus. #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:46:37 +0000 2016 |
| rogue_crayon99 | A7 I’m in with the multiple device delegation…will have a spare machine offline for important records ala George R.R. Martin #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:46:49 +0000 2016 |
| DrFrankBuck | A8 I am good at staying focused on work when it’s time to work. If anything, it’s hard to tune out work. #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:47:09 +0000 2016 |
| macbikegeek | a8 standard work day is work focused, time tracking & GTD let me do whatever needs doing for both, focus attention on task at hand #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:47:31 +0000 2016 |
| JKatzaman | A8 Right now, any travel is personal. So, there’s still a nice bright line between home and office. #ProdChat | Thu Dec 29 01:47:33 +0000 2016 |
| rsidneysmith | @DrFrankBuck Yes, I sometimes get tunnel-vision with work too. I have to use timers to alert me that I’m too deep in. #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:47:46 +0000 2016 |
| 2Patra | @rsidneysmith Q8 home: badly #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:47:57 +0000 2016 |
| rsidneysmith | Q9: Are there any specific tools you use for business that you don’t for personal? If so, which, and why? #prodchat https://t.co/hc4EkmRkvI | Thu Dec 29 01:50:01 +0000 2016 |
| michelle1908 | A8: My physical location determines that. If I’m home, I try not to focus on work and vice versa #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:50:05 +0000 2016 |
| rsidneysmith | A9: My finance and accounting software are really the only things that are strictly business and not personal. #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:51:02 +0000 2016 |
| michelle1908 | A9: Microsoft products at work, because I don’t have a choice 🙂 Google products for personal because I can access it everywhere #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:51:09 +0000 2016 |
| caplady1225 | A9 yes definitely the google suite products at work federal govt so restrictive to MICROSOFT everything #Prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:51:18 +0000 2016 |
| macbikegeek | A8b how could I forget to mention the Pomello App (https://t.co/7qf6X92Z8K), amazing #Pomodoro timer integrated with @Trello ? #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:52:18 +0000 2016 |
| rsidneysmith | @macbikegeek Oh, nice! I’ll have to check that out. First I’ve heard of it! Thanks. #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:52:44 +0000 2016 |
| JKatzaman | A9 My closet business and personal tool overlap is Word because I write in both realms. #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:54:14 +0000 2016 |
| rsidneysmith | A9: I have several clients that use MSFT Sharepoint and BI software, that’s relegated to business only too. #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:54:39 +0000 2016 |
| macbikegeek | a9 @project, most of our @SASSoftware products, various admin tools are work only. Various personal only tools, too. #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:54:43 +0000 2016 |
| caplady1225 | @macbikegeek made me realize i do use #Pomodoro for everything using @forestapp_cc this tool keeps me off the phone & focused #Prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:55:00 +0000 2016 |

| caplady1225 | @michelle1908 seems like we all have the chains of Microsoft on our wrists lol #Prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:55:25 +0000 2016 |
| michelle1908 | @caplady1225 Unfortunately Lol! #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:55:52 +0000 2016 |
| rsidneysmith | A10: I’m going to do a thorough review of how my data flows through all my devices. It’s always a good time of year to do it! #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:57:06 +0000 2016 |
| caplady1225 | A10 outside of capture i need to use more #GTD at work and see if more review of work items helps me focus and accomplish more #Prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:57:06 +0000 2016 |
| JKatzaman | A10 If I keep operating in business and personally separately as I do now, I should be in pretty good shape. #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:57:17 +0000 2016 |
| rsidneysmith | @caplady1225 Those reviews at work can be so helpful, esp. for helping projects with weak teammates. #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:57:33 +0000 2016 |
| michelle1908 | @JKatzaman Me too, I think #prodchat (A:10) | Thu Dec 29 01:57:39 +0000 2016 |
| rogue_crayon99 | A10 I’ll try to make better use of available devices and delegate tasks accordingly, especially routine ones like cloud backup etc #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:57:45 +0000 2016 |

| macbikegeek | a10 probably not much change to workflow. 2017 focus will be on #Focus on #GTD across work and personal. #prodchat | Thu Dec 29 01:59:33 +0000 2016 |
