The Tuesday To Do Take Down

It’s been two weeks since I’ve been able to put up a Monday Motivation post. Between rolling out 9 new blogs, speaking at Unleashed and SOBCon, and having three incredibly sick kids for a week in between, I’ve been stretched to the hilt.

I’ve been productive, yes. But my inbox has seen better days. I have emails in there from over a month ago that I’m embarrassed to answer because I’ve taken so long to respond. And yesterday a couple of you said you missed Monday Motivation too, I’m declaring today Tuesday To-Do Take Down Day.

So what is the Tuesday To-Do Take Down drill?

Step 1 – let us know what you are going to get done today (your to-do list, so to speak).

Step 2 – put it in a comment below or a post on your own site.

Step 3 – let us know what will motivate you to get it done – a reward, consequences, or whatever you need to think that will ensure you do what you say you are going to do. I’ve found that the public announcement and accountability is a particularly great motivator, but throw down consequences if you really need a kick in the pants to get stuff done! Unless, of course, you are working towards a new laptop too, in which case I think the reward is particularly motivating.

(Hmmm…… sounds suspiciously like Monday Motivation…… weird.)

Today before I go to sleep I will:

• Send 100 overdue responses to emails
• Create my To Do List for the rest of the week

And before the end of the day tomorrow I will

• Clean out my inbox completely

And by the end of the week I will

• Research migrating from 1ShoppingCart to iContact
• Update our Advertising page
• Set up all redirects to complete the transfer of content from Shoestring Smarts to SOHO Tools, News & Technology

And by the way, I went without coffee for a week in there (which completely sucked because I was totally deprived at SOBCon when I needed my coffee the most!!). So it’s really been three weeks since I’ve gotten my to-do list completed. So this week I need some serious leverage to ensure I get caught up. So $200 is going to go to a random participant if I don’t get this done by the end of the week.

So What To Do’s are You Going to Take Down Today?
