It may be a terrible excuse for laziness, but I still think that not having a creative, inspirational, clean, organised workspace, serves as a hindrance to my productivity. Then I’m reminded of those men before me who were more disciplined than me and worked by candle-light suffering great physical ailments.
Thanks Andy Tan for reminding me of all the places I’m not sitting right now microblogging this.

Recently, Tim Challies wrote about a time management tool he discovered and recommends. Furthermore, he created the above graphic to remind him of the importance of not procrastinating
If I had that graphic popping up every time I ventured into the land of “virtual distraction” I’m sure it would be jarring enough to get me back to work…at least until the next distraction.

Following on from yesterday’s post on How to Read I thought I’d mention the Pomodoro Technique, which I stumbled upon today:
The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method. For many of us time is an enemy. The anxiety triggered by “the ticking clock” and deadlines to be met leads to ineffective work and study habits and procrastination. The Pomodoro Technique transforms time into a valuable ally.
Francesco Cirillo created the Pomodoro Technique in 1992 after a long search to improve his own study habits. Starting in the late ’90s the technique was embraced by professional teams. It can help us accomplish what we want to do and chart continuous improvement in the way we do it.
They have a free e-book entitled The Pomodoro Technique, which I’ve downloaded and will try to read later on. From my quick browse it looks like it could be a really helpful time management system. Web Worker Daily mentioned Tomatoi.st, a timing service designed to be used in conjunction with Pomodoro.
Have any of you used this technique, or have any tips on how you make the most of your time in order to glorify the Lord?
