Johnny B. Truant (Twitter: @johnnybtruant) www.SterlingAndStone.com I have tons of little tricks and tools I use to keep
myself on track, but as simple and possibly cliche as it sounds, knowing myself
is far more important than any one tactic. I have to know when I'm at my best for
my most important work (morning, for writing fiction), when I tend to slack off
(after meetings or podcasts), and when I can get by with relatively mindless
work (afternoons). It's not about getting maximal amounts done; it's about
ideally matching my capacities vs. my occasional need to screw around with
what needs to be done at what time.
