.@rsidneysmith, I basically reviewed my Areas of Focus and looked back at all my completed tasks for each in 2013. Very telling. #ProdChat
-
@ErikJFisher That’s a really great perspective and something I should definitely create clear space for in 2014! #prodchat
-
.@rsidneysmith Then I really thought about those “categories” and rejiggered to match my current priorities in life. #ProdChat
-
.@rsidneysmith Even a shift in naming makes a huge difference. OH… and I tried @chrisbrogan’s My Three Words this year. Brilliant! #ProdChat

A3: I have followed @tonyrobbins annual planning process (modified over the years) for 14 years now. Love it! #prodchat
-
.@rsidneysmith What’s Tony Robbin’s annual planning, in a nutshell? #ProdChat
-
@rsidneysmith Well, yes. I do have to remember to type it. But I’ve finally started remember to just copy & paste it. Much easier. #ProdChat
-
@rsidneysmith A3: I make a commitment to write down my progress every day. That helps me stay on track. #prodchat -
+1 @ErikJFisher: A3 This is the first year I’ve formally worked through goals for a new year, and it’s already made a huge impact. #prodchat

.@rsidneysmith Awesome! Going to have to look that up on the Google. 😉 #ProdChat
-
. @mbti_estj Hey Chris! Welcome! #ProdChat
-
.@ErikJFisher You know, the milestones always trip me up on my own projects (not work projects though). Odd. #ProdChat
-
@ScarletRegina Welcome back to #prodchat 2014, Regina! 🙂
-
How granular do you go on milestones @ErikJFisher? Roughly weekly, monthly, quarterly? #ProdChat
-
A4 Yes! I did the @chrisbrogan “My Three Words”. It helped me hone in on priorities. And to keep them top of mind. Loving it! #ProdChat
-
@mbti_estj Welcome, Chris, to the #ProdChat! SMART goals are great…including SMARTER. E – evaluate, R – reevaluate. 🙂

@rsidneysmith Thank you! Excited to be in the chat tonight! #prodchat

@rsidneysmith A3: I’ve set aside time for email. I don’t interrupt other tasks to read/answer emails. Email is such a distraction. #prodchat
-
.@mbti_estj @ErikJFisher I think I need to read up on that. Not sure why it’s hard to do for personal projects. any suggestions? #ProdChat
-
@rsidneysmith Cool Ray! TYSM! I’ll remember that now. So glad I joined this chat. 😉 #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith Ohhh! Do tell! What did you nix? What did you add??? #ProdChat
-
hmmm… I’ve got to look at that. RT @ErikJFisher: All of them, except weekly. Yearly, quarterly and monthly are where I assess. #prodchat
-
Yes! RT @mbti_estj: Depends on where the bottleneck is as to the recommended course of action, but action is usually the key. #prodchat

@mbti_estj I’m a project manager. (HA!) I think it’s that I am the client for personal projects. And I’m a really awesome client! #ProdChat

@ErikJFisher @michgunn @mbti_estj I wonder if it’s a good thing or a bad thing to think of life as a project? #prodchat
-
Yes! Or plan it out as well. :/ RT @ErikJFisher: @michgunn @mbti_estj Maybe it’s hard because we don’t think of life as a project. #prodchat
-
A4: I’m journaling following @MichaelHyatt‘s template. http://michaelhyatt.com/daily-journal-template.html …. #prodchat

-
A5: I also use http://IFTTT.com to integrate/automate some of my social media functions too. #ProdChat
-
I really have to look into that. RT @mbti_estj: A5: I also use IFTTT to integrate/automate some of my social media functions too. #ProdChat

@rsidneysmith Mindly is a great app for creating mind maps. http://thenextweb.com/apps/2013/12/26/mindly-ios-reworks-mind-maps-small-screens/ … #prodchat
-
Word! 😉 MT @rsidneysmith: Course correction is so much easier when you review more often, but just not to the point of numbing. #prodchat
-
Love that! Thanks! RT @ErikJFisher: A6: I have a monthly checklist, and perspective that meeting some goals is more than NO goals. #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith Yes, definitely! TYSM Ray! #prodchat
