The reality is...

When you go into business by accident
flying by the seat of your pants
running with an idea that you think is a good one
tapping an entrepreneurial spirit you didn't know you had
inspired by your kids
an idea that would never have occurred to you
had you not embarked on the journey of trying to raise
reasonably well behaved offspring...

Well, the reality is
you become rather busy.
So busy, apparently that two weeks pass
between blog posts.

Well THAT was fast.

I think prioritizing in one of the most challenging
things in starting a business. For me anyway.
Everything has to be done all the time.
Lists help. I was never a list maker but I think they are important. Just by virtue of writing one, it helps organize your thoughts. In my opinion
(which is pointless to point out, since everything here is my opinion, but I digress)
In my opinion, another essential item is the PDA phone that has a reminder function for tasks you give yourself. My Samsung i730 is quite possibly the most important piece of equipment that I own. The little polite dinging thing just went off. I'm sure it is reminding me of some vitally important thing I must do.

The problem with the way I use it, is that I have so many reminders, that I delay them as needed when other things butt their way in that seem more important, or less time consuming... So when the dinging sound goes off about every 10 minutes, I go, "yeah, whatever".

But an important thing to note is that the PDA alone never worked for me because I was not in the habit of carrying just a PDA. But you always have your cell phone with you, so those incessant reminders can taunt you at all hours. It's terrific!

I'd better go check what is so important, that I need to be reminded about it at 11 pm on a Monday night... I'll bet you 20 bucks it's something I postponed, and will postpone again until tomorrow.
