www.limedaring.com I juggle my startup as well as various side projects, like
writing my latest book. I have a "Daily Goals" doc I update every morning — at
the top, my big long term goals (high level, "Recognized as one of the top people
in the tech industry."), then medium goals ("Make Hello Web App a success")
then short-term goals (daily to-dos). I review the list every morning (takes only 5
min), then I plan out my day in hourly chunks dedicated to tasks to complete
those goals. This keeps me focused throughout the day and I spend MUCH less
time futzing around on the internet now!
