Finding Uninterrupted Time

Blogging for me tends to be inversely proportional to how busy I am and how much I travel. Hence the poor blogging record last week.

This weekend, I took 2 days off in Niagara on the Lake. Beautiful town. Saturday, I cycled from NOTL to Niagara falls and back. About 2 hours round trip. Add to this a 10K run on Sunday and I am a bit sore. I did not work out all all during the week because I was too busy so was feeling appropriately guilty.

I read in Harvard Business Review that sleep deprivation is bad. I have often approached sleep as a neccessary evil. Now I am trying to get more sleep. So far, I have a record of one day with 8 hours of sleep. Not sure I am going to target 8 but will try for 6 ir 7.

Although today is Thanksgiving (I am Canadian), I will work most of the day to get caught up. I also have a number of calls with the US scheduled. I also have lunch with my family which will be good.

I find I can be more than twice as productive when I have a good block of uninterrupted time like today or a weekend. So one trick to to find more uninterrupted time.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving Jim...

I've often found that the best way to find uninterrupted time is to leave the house early to go into work at 4 or 5am before everyone else comes in.

Did my last duathlon for the year last week here in Green Bay, WI... brrrr, it's cold here. :)

Lastly, hey, we blogged about you last week: http://ezinearticles.com/blog/2006/10/jim-estill-author-spotlight.html

Cheers,
