Freezing in NH

There’s an interesting article in the NYTimes today: For Entrepreneurs, It’s All About Time.  It talks about prioritizing:

It sounds simple, he says, but most people don’t do it, deciding to complete tasks that are easier to do, but not necessarily the most important.

I think that’s one of my big weaknesses, though sometimes starting with one easily finished task gets some momentum going.  Sometimes you have to stop what you’re doing for a second and ask yourself “is this the most important thing I could be doing right now?”

I get easily distracted, and there are tasks I don’t like to do, but making a list, prioritizing it, and doing the items in order does make a big difference on days I can stick with it.

They also recommend several books that might help, assuming you’re not just reading them to procrastinate.
