If I Could Always be So Productive…#blogboost
Heck, I’d settle for two days a week as productive as today. I’d be soooo grateful–and so accomplished! Wrote a long blog on public transit, an article about Green marketing, a much-improved of the query letter I hope will launch my syndicated Green and Profitable column, created a new questionnaire for book consulting clients, and critiqued a client’s book proposal (I don’t normally do ANY client work on weekends, but this had a deadline of tomorrow AM and I was off all day Friday speaking at Boston Greenfest), and managed to deal with 150 or so e-mails.
And…shelled a bunch of our garden edemame (tender young soybeans), cooked a three-course dinner of mostly garden veggies, made a batch of tomato sauce, hiked for half an hour between rainstorms, did a load each of laundry and dishes plus hand-washed all the pots and wooden stuff. Also got in some fun time with Dina and a bit of reading.
And now I just wrote this blog, just reflecting on the wonder of it all.
I have two more hours left, probably, before I crash. Going to try to get through another 100 or so emails and then five miles on the exercise bike with Barbara Kingsolver’s novel, “Lacuna.” And then a well-earned rest.
All this while everybody’s complaining that Mercury is in retrograde and they can’t get anything done.

@Danielle, I *am* a morning person and I find often, my most productive time is 6-10 a.m., and then I start to trail off. What was amazing about yesterday was maintaining productivity all the way through the day, taking plenty of time off, not stressing too much about what I needed to do, and just plowing through a lot of my to-do list.
I do normally put some of the less brain-intensive work toward the bottom of my day. And I also make sure to work a maximum of 90 minutes (usually much less) before taking an extended computer break.

I feel the same way when I have one of those days! They just don’t come often enough. I’m learning that although I’m not a morning person I really do have to get up early to be productive though. Once mid-afternoon hits I’m sporadic and evenings are more for easy and fun stuff – like blog commenting! 🙂

That’s a lot accomplished in one day!
