The big difference for me at work was not allowing myself to bounce back and forth between my favorite blogs all day long, checking email, instant messenger, and all that other bullshit.  I know it’s classic 4 hour workweek to shut all that out while you’re working, but when you have to sit at a desk for 8 hours a day, sometimes it feels like you need to blow an hour or two in useless entertainment.  Of course, that hour or two quickly becomes the whole day and you haven’t written a god damn thing or done hardly anything.

So I’ve gone back to creating to-do lists for every day, and it has a marked effect on my output.  I also noticed that once I’m in that mood of getting things done, it becomes addictive and I want to add more accomplishments to the list.  Now I’m almost restless when I don’t have a task.  Structured life can be very good for you.  Try it tomorrow.
