Your hint of learning to jot down a few pertinent words to capture this more lengthy info is a great suggestion. <br /><br />Gini Rifkin<br />GiniRifkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09808573690725909979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5926989890703867833.post-85708556843658889152013-01-16T21:10:42.587-05:002013-01-16T21:10:42.587-05:00I love this.

I line them up on the side of the printer and when I'm done with the real writing I pluck off a note and do a task. It might be an idea for a blog post, or to create an author page somewhere, or to update something. I love the self-satisfaction of tossing out the sticky note when the task is accomplished. : )Robena Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18389730409379890816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5926989890703867833.post-3991406241134751882013-01-15T20:36:46.045-05:002013-01-15T20:36:46.045-05:00Great post, DJ!

The timer gives me a five minute break, so I run up and down stairs or jump rope to get my blood pumping. Then, I start over again. It's amazing when I really see how fast a half hour goes. It motivates me to use every minute wisely. Plus, I'm not as tired at the end of my work day. Total bonus!!Barb Hanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06231914432478527195noreply@blogger.com
