I am trying to be everything to everyone right now and I am already pulling my hair out. Unfortunately it's my 'TYPE A personality' trying to take over and grab this blogging stuff away from my 'creative self'.

I'm planning a little post, sort of a 'day in the life of me', that I hope will help with this.

The answer I think is more simple: when you stop giving in to distraction, two hours can be plenty of time to do all of the work that's necessary to run a business.

Sometimes when I'm really passionate about something I'll work for 13 hours a day to get it done — I did this with The Art of Being Minimalist. But work like that doesn't happen more than a couple of times a year for me.

I just started a blog and will definitely apply some of the ideas from this post. I'm planning to be location independent in May 2011 and hope to stay in the Bay Area for a few months. <br><br>Check out Caffe Trieste in North Beach if you haven't already. Great atmosphere with a couple musicians who strum their guitars in the corner.

It's true that you have to hack away all the unessential stuff. There's too much noise out there. And quantity almost never means quality. Creating more and more and messaging more doesn't mean you achieve more.

I'm slowly learning the art of less is more, and I'm beginning to see the magical results.

More and more lately I've felt like a hamster on a wheel running fast in circles. I am doing what I am passionate about but tend to lose direction and definitely not utilizing my time more appropriately.
I truly agree with much you say here, especially about posting only when you have something of value to say not just to fill in the quite space and add more noise to an already noisy world.
Thanks for the great post…the timing was perfect! :-)
