Once I get the tweaks done (I can be a bit obsessive about getting things the way I like) I will start adding more content.

Thanks for visiting the site!

Your blog looks awesome – such a great idea! I didn't see where you could comment, though, Jeremie. I want to spread the comment love around! I bookmarked your site & will definitely be coming back to it, but let me know when you have a new Action Day planned & I'll do my best to be there with ya!

Eddie is a nice name for a laptop. Or a dog. Or a person.

The two of us are at opposite ends of our ICA training and opposite time zones so meeting in class probably isn't likely. You are writing finals and I am finishing foundation classes.

I just got my blog up and active this past weekend, and finished posting about my Blog Action Day today. I plan on having action hours and days on a fairly regular basis to help me, and hopefully others, get there work done. So keep an eye out maybe I'll have a Business plan or newsletter action day soon!

http://www.sundaynightsuccess.com <— this is my blog

What I need to do is use the advice I give my students for doing homework so I can get my “adult homework” done: set a timer for 40 minutes and work straight with no distractions, then take a 20 min break. Repeat until done the work, then enjoy my free time.

Hmmm…something bad for me that I do pretty regularly is noid out in front of the computer screen instead of closing that sucker up and hanging out with my sweet husband (who’s also noiding out in front of his computer screen…we have his’n'hers laptops!). What’s my reward? Connection with lots of cool peeps on Twitter & Facebook & email, plus great inspiration & ideas via blogs I read (like, ahem, this one).

BUT, there’s also the “reward” of taking the easy way out if there’s something difficult that needs to be discussed with the hubster…like, “Oops! Look at the time! Obviously we can’t have that conversation now, it’s waaaay too late.” Eeech.

SO, my renewed commitment is to leave my laptop in my office after 6:30 p.m. I was doing this for a while but slipped off the wagon. Thank you, Michelle, for this post, so I could re-commit to what I know will bring lots of life and vitality to my evenings!

Can I tell you that I, also, like to excuse my rabid blog-reading as "research" – especially if it's about coaching, marketing, entrepreneurship, creativity or is intended for "my audience." If I devoted half the time I read blogs to actually doing something (I can list 25 tasks here off the top of my head), then maybe I'd be a legal business with a budget, a business plan, and a newsletter by now! But if it wasn't for the blog posts, then what would I tweet? And where would "Freakin' (Great Links) Fri" go? It saddens me both ways. Have to find happy medium……

Thank you for giving me credit to an idea I got from someone else and have not officially shared with the blorld (that's "blogging world" in twitter talk) yet. I can tell we'll be quick friends. Why haven't we been in a class together? Lame.

However, I think I can nicely deal with both my procrastination and my marketing avoidance with the same timer method of getting work done that I heard about in a blog tomorrow (ignore the time discrepancy and we will just pretend I got the idea from your post tomorrow).

My wife and I also do an excellent job of "laptopping" our way out of serious conversations so I can relate to that one too.

So you'll put the laptop away at 6:30p, and I'll set the alarm for 6:30a….scary but exciting!

What I win from this is something I wasn't aware of until yesterday: Cuddling under the blanket and going back to my dreams helps protecting me from the world and my work. A part of me actually is afraid of going out there, letting my light shine. And this part takes comfort from staying in bed too long.

What I need to do: acknowledge this part of me, acknowledge its anxiety, and comfort it in some other, appropriate way.
