Welcome to #ProdChat, the weekly #productivity conversation! http://goo.gl/Uk35l | Today’s Topic: Reaffirming Resolutions! -
Hey, @rsidneysmith! I’m going to be twittering from the #RockawayFerry for #ProdChat tonight. This should be interesting! ;D -
Hi all! Michelle here twittering from the #RockawayFerry. I’m a productivity geek, GTD fan, OmniFocus user, & co-host of GTD® VSG. #ProdChat
-
@nmhouston hey, Natalie! How’re you doing today? #prodchat
-
Me too! MT @nmhouston: expect heavier than usual chatter from me for the next hour for #ProdChat — join us!
-
@nmhouston hey, Natalie! I’m well. Just trying to stay warm here on the East Coast! #prodchat
-
@nmhouston wow! Be safe! That’s rare. #prodchat
-
I use the new year as a time for re-evaluation & planning but I don’t make “resolutions” #prodchat -
@IsaPinaud That’s a fantastic idea! Love it! #prodchat
-
ditto! RT @nmhouston: I use the new year as a time for re-evaluation & planning but I don’t make “resolutions” #prodchat
-
@nmhouston Planning is exactly the word… its not a resolution… its a plan #prodchat -
Like! MT @IsaPinaud: A1 I gave myself 2 goals for every 3 month period, so it wouldn’t be so daunting. #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith I shall give you permission to try it out if you want HAHA 😛 #prodchat
-
Instead of “resolutions” I do pick 3 key verbs to focus on through the year. My 2014 words are Learn, Love, Grow. #prodchat

-
@nmhouston I have my one sole word for the new year!! #prodchat
-
@nmhouston Verbs! Now that makes sense! D’oh! My three words are Focus, Energy, and Community. Yeah, I’ll call them verbs too! 🙂 #ProdChat
-
@IsaPinaud so glad to have permission! Thanks! 😉 #prodchat
-
-
@IsaPinaud I started reading the 12 Week Year. Interesting. But I decided too complicated for me to implement at the moment #ProdChat
-
@nmhouston Yes, It’s brilliant. Of course verbs! I should know that by heart by now. Action Action Action!!! #ProdChat
-

Hey John! Good plan! 😉 RT @jrnolan12: A2 Basically, I do what my wife tells me. She’s more structured than me. (Sorry I’m late) #ProdChat
-
@jrnolan12 Great to have you here, John! How’re you this evening? #prodchat
-
“@nmhouston: @IsaPinaud It’s great to set regular benchmarks for evaluating and planning. #prodchat” So true!
-
Nice! RT @IsaPinaud: I felt the same way..so I just took in the reevaluting every three months part which has work out great #prodchat
-
@nmhouston Exactly the way I decided to take it.. 🙂 #prodchat
-
@michgunn @JasonWomack suggests in his book that there are “noun” people and “verb” people — good to try both ways of thinking #prodchat
-
Oh my!! http://productivitybookgroup.org
RT @IsaPinaud: What is Productivity Book Group and why do I not know about it? :O #prodchat -
Oh, it’s getting rocky on this here #RockawayFerry! #ProdChat
-
@nmhouston Interesting. I’ve contemplated this difference for quite some time, and I cannot decide if that’s true. #prodchat
-
I make a plan every yr consisting of: My 1 word, a paragraph about what it means to me, my 5 passions,8 goals, quote for the yr #prodchat
-
@nmhouston Yes, that makes sense. But verbs really do help motivate action. That still stumps me. Ha! #ProdChat
-
@IsaPinaud Simple yet very well-thought-out! Good job, Isabel! 🙂 #prodchat
-
@nmhouston Like naming tasks with a verb to start. You’d think it’d be second nature by now. Sheesh! #ProdChat
-
@nmhouston @JasonWomack I’m reading his book now! I love the exercise about working with both to see if you come up with something #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith you’re not sure if there’s a difference? like any sorting dimension, some people are prob in the middle of spectrum #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith Thank you very much 🙂 You can borrow this idea also 😛 #prodchat
-
MT @IsaPinaud: I make a plan every yr: My 1 word, a paragraph about what it means to me, my 5 passions,8 goals, quote for the yr #prodchat
-
@nmhouston Not that a difference exists; I’m a fellow grammarian! But, that nouns work better for people statistically. #prodchat
-
-
@nmhouston Verbs command action. Nouns, by nature, cannot, you know? But, then people interpret things their own way, so…. #prodchat
-
@IsaPinaud I feel like I’m going to get a bill for royalties any day now! ;-P #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith I just pay attention to it as a marker of innate tendencies — like any other pattern — work with it & stretch too #prodchat
-
@nmhouston I tend to think of goals/nouns, tasks/verbs. Even then, I think of different verbs when writing projects than tasks. #prodchat
-
ditto! In my system. RT @IsaPinaud: A3 I’m not using any apps..things I want to be reminded of I have as repeating actions in OF #prodchat
-

-
@rsidneysmith That was supposed to be a surprise! haha 😛 #prodchat
-
@IsaPinaud But I have friends that love those apps and find them super helpful for reminders. #ProdChat
-
Hi, Daniel! @DanielHayes #ProdChat
-
What do you mean? Naturally? Or specifically? RT @DanielHayes: A#: I like to turn my fav routines into rituals! #ProdChat
-
Has anyone seen the TED talk by the @SuperBetter creator? #prodchat
-
I’ll hahavece to check out Simple routine, @rsidneysmith #ProdChat -
@DanielHayes That’s a great practice! Are they connected to rewards? #prodchat
-
I’ll have to check that out. RT @rsidneysmith: Has anyone seen the TED talk by the @SuperBetter creator? #prodchat
-
@jrnolan12 Just like all the other apps, @HabitList and others, but Simple Routine doesn’t do any tracking…just reminders. #prodchat
-
-
Yes! this is a great way to integrate something new RT @DanielHayes: A#: I like to turn my fav routines into rituals! #ProdChat
-
Fitbit One, slightly older version, but good. I think the technology is improving quickly, @rsidneysmith #ProdChat
-
@nmhouston I’ve been actually tracking my exercise using a write/wipe calendar on my fridge. Pic at end of month. It’s great! #ProdChat
-
@rsidneysmith Nope… what’s it called? #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith Great to be back! #ProdChat -
@rsidneysmith Somehow it’s so much more effective for me… for exercise or meal tracking. Might need another. 😉 #ProdChat
-
@IsaPinaud I’m grabbing the link. One sec… #prodchat
-
@IsaPinaud This is the @SuperBetter app creator’s #TED talk: The game that can give you 10 extra years… http://on.ted.com/qeq9 #prodchat

A4 I think the secret is not to change your entire diet but to make gradual changes..same with exercise #prodchat

with fitness goals, setting specific benchmarks is helpful: i.e., how many yoga classes per week? etc #prodchat

-
@nmhouston Absolutely! It’s its own feedback mechanism to keep you motivated…and helps you reset when you miss one! #prodchat
-
@nmhouston Exactly 🙂 #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith Turn your shoulds into musts! #prodchat
-
A4c: And, if you say “I am not going to the gym.” Then, state how you will make up for that missed workout. #prodchat
-
@IsaPinaud As long as those “musts” don’t repel you…sometimes they can create unnecessary anxiety…it’s about attraction. 🙂 #prodchat
-
@DanielHayes I think more carrot and less stick, is in order. 🙂 If you spend too much time being hard on yourself, it’s harder. #prodchat
-
A4 last thought before I’m throw off… Exercising in the AM sets my day up right. Better eating, more productivity… love/hate it! #ProdChat

Yes, language shapes thought MT @rsidneysmith: E.g., I am going to the gym. (Instead of “I should/would/could go to the gym.”) #prodchat
-
@nmhouston As our resident fitness guru, what’re you feelings on the “diets?” Like, paleo and south beach? #prodchat
-
A4: I mix cardio, lifting, pilates, bar method, etc. All in small doses, just 30-60 min 4-5 times per week #prodchat

-
@rsidneysmith True. Maybe more carrot and less pizza, too! #ProdChat
-
@rsidneysmith also, anything called “diet” tends to build subconscious resistance. Better to make clean eating a part of life #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith Totally agreed, should do something everyday, but want to avoid repetition and boredom. #prodchat
-
@nmhouston Yes, I stopped using “diet” a long time ago…and just started using “eating” and “nutrition” to refer to food habits. #prodchat
-
@ErikJFisher it always falls during dinner prep/time for me. Sigh. #prodchat -
The 100 Thing Challenge is by Dave Bruno…. I tried my own version of it.. I think I have my won version of everything haha #prodchat

@mikevardy I’d be open to moving the time once in a while to accommodate folks in other time zones. We should discuss some point! #prodchat
-
@DanielHayes I still haven’t dared to Project 333…. I want to though! #prodchat
-
@IsaPinaud Thanks for correcting me, Isabel! That’s totally awesome! :)) #prodchat
-
@mikevardy And kids just put down (if I’m lucky) for me. #prodchat -
@IsaPinaud My wife cried when we started. Now LOVES it! #ProdChat
-
Here, here. “@rsidneysmith: @DanielHayes Great point! We are all food for worms…our experiences outweigh our stuff! #prodchat“
-
@DanielHayes I think I’d be the one doing the crying! ;-P #prodchat
-
allright #prodchat I have to leave a bit early tonight — great chatting with you all! thanks @rsidneysmith for the great topic & questions!
-
@DanielHayes Wow! I’m going to give it a try this year and see how it works out! #prodchat
-
@nmhouston Have a great night, Natalie! See you soon on #prodchat
-
We practice the “One In, One Out” rule, too. Keeps the clutter down, and helps curb spending. #ProdChat

@ethanwaldman It’s a Wednesday Twitter meetup about productivity. Follow #ProdChat and join in!
-
@ethanwaldman It’s a weekly chat on productivity with different subjects each week. A Q&A/chat where everyone can input ideas #prodchat

A6: currently eating cheezy poofs #WrongPersonToAsk #ProdChat
-
@jrnolan12 LMAO. Duly noted. Next! 😉 #prodchat
-
@DanielHayes Fantastic example of taking your bad habit and replacing it with a healthy activity! Kudos! #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith Nah. I just have to either prep from 5-5:30 my time and join in or join in and prep later. I’ll figure it out. #prodchat
-
@mikevardy We could do it at, say, 12pm-4pm one random day and see how that works! Not sure…just thinking aloud. #prodchat
-
-
@jrnolan12 It actually sounds quite balanced. Better than all of one or the other, both of which would be unhealthy. 🙂 #prodchat
-
@DanielHayes Those organic ones at @WholeFoods are pretty delicious! 😉 @jrnolan12 @mikevardy #prodchat
