..with a difference.

If you have to structure your own time as I do (as a self employed artist) you may find Donald Miller's Storyline schedule interesting. It is a sheet which you fill in each day - available free from http://storylineblog.com and scroll down the sidebar to Productivity Schedule download.

I've been using it for just a few days and it has been really useful. It helps me focus on what is important to me, it helps me make time for enjoyable things every day (though I do enjoy the work I do!), and it helps me manage my mental energy.

There is a 'mind trick' devised by the psychologist Victor Frankl which I find works remarkably well for me....

Do you think it might work for you?

What I like is the questions asked at the end of the day, as they are more about living well than about productivity. I am not sure I want to use it as a daily tool at the beginning of the day, but I might try it out at the end of the day, looking back. Did you read the pages with information and are they interesting enough for me to do so too?

I think using the question 'If I could live today over again...' BEFORE you've lived it is a useful little trick to save you making mistakes before you make them....I printed out the whole thing and am still referring to the information..it is a little tricky, but good!
