Well, I’m using a new To Do list program. I didn’t use a program before, I just had a piece of paper to keep track of my to do’s. Now I use the To List in Basecamp. Basecamp is an online project management service. It includes, Milestones, Whiteboards, Notes/Messages, Project Lists, Contacts, Calendar, and To Do Lists. To Do Lists in Basecamp are my favorite feature. You can create many types or categories of to do lists. And after you’ve completed the task, Basecamp records it and adds a strikethrough, just like you would do with your pen.
So far Basecamp has really met my needs. Easy to learn, setup and use. I may just toss out my current project management software and go with Basecamp.

For larger projects, I use the Project Manager solution in Goldmine. For most of my everyday work and personal tasks, I use a simple customized spreadsheet. I used to just use a plain piece of paper, but now my to do list has gotten much larger and in dire need of some improvements. Here is my new simple to do list (.pdf). I print out a blank sheet and fill it in for a few days, cross off (my favorite part) completed items and migrate ‘open’ items to a new sheet. It works for me. Mike Swartz says, “Check it out”.

We’re back! It’s been an amazing past few months. We’ll first off…I got married on May 12, the day we first met 6 years ago. Justine and I got married in Alameda at the First Presbyterian Church. Jack Buckley was the kind gentleman who married us. Thank you Jack. We spent our reception on the San Francisco Bay exploding to the KABOOM fireworks where Justine and I met for the first time. It was the best day of my life! Thank you everyone! You made our dream come true. Now back to business… Another reason for not contributing to my blog recently is that my workload here at MJS has been off the charts. I have not been able to devote enough quality time to my blog. Customers came first. I’m sure you understand and I thank you for tuning in.
Since my time becomes more valuable each day and I need to stay on top of the SEO world (I used to visit Threadwatch exclusively, but it just recently shut down), I setup an add-on to Firefox called Sage. It’s an RSS reader that pulls specific data you choose (to a certain extent) to view from your favorite sites and lists all that content into one place. (This is the true definition of an RSS reader). Now I can surf the internet and view all the latest SEO headlines from one place. A great time saver! Mike Swartz says, “Check it Out”.

It’s that time of year where we sit down and make a New Year’s resolution list. I like to call it my 2006 Goals list. (A resolution list for me never seems to get resolved, if you know what I mean). I have a 2006 business goal list and a personal goal list. And here they are: Business
Looking Back on 2005 It’s also a time to look back at your previous New Year’s resolutions list (if you kept it) and see what was accomplished or not. Two of my main items were accomplished: Developing a business plan and purchasing a new home. A couple items ended up on this year’s list – go figure. More Lists Speaking of lists, I just read a great article on Boxes and Arrows about creating lists and how different list systems work better for some than others. My most successful list is one that I keep right on my desk, right in front of me.
It’s a Master ‘To Do’ List that includes everything I need to do for that day and days to come. What doesn’t get done, goes on a new list and what does get done, gets crossed off (I love that part). I got the idea from the book “Time Management for Dummies What list system helped you survive through 2005 and what list is going to get you through the New Year? I hope the New Year is a safe and successful one for you. Cheers and, of course, Happy New Year! Posted by: Michael Swartz at 12:12 pm Comments: None | Filed under: Personal |
