On Getting Advice
Stephan Miller | July 22nd 2008 by Stephan Miller
It is good to live with someone you trust to tell you that you are being stupid. Of course, part of the deal is actually listening when that person says you are. I am not good as hearing that I am wrong. I do not take it well. In fact, it usually is read more
7 Very Cool Free Desktop Feed Readers
Stephan Miller | July 20th 2008 by Stephan Miller
I have been so wrapped up lately trying to replace desktop software with web apps that I haven’t looked at Desktop Feed Readers for a long time. I used Firefox Live marks until I realized that 700 feeds kind of slows down the browsing experienc read more
Zenning things done
Tim Longhurst's Notepad | June 10th 2008
Getting Things Done is a popular book 259 page book. I’ve read it. I like it. It’s got some good ideas. And if you stay with me on this post, you can get half the book’s value in a fraction of the time it would take to read the whol read more
Making Ideas Real
Stephan Miller | May 28th 2008 by Stephan Miller
I never can tell when an idea is going to occur to me. One time it’s while I’m driving to work. The next, while I am mowing the lawn. But I can almost guarantee it will happen when I least expect it. So I just started expecting it all the read more
Fixed Costs and Fixed Time
Stephan Miller | May 20th 2008 by Stephan Miller
Time is money. It may be something we all agree on, but what does it really mean. Fixed costs are nice. One of my fixed costs is hosting. When I make $4000 in a month, my hosting is $125. If I triple that, it will still cost me the same and the ROI t read more
I Love Jott
Stephan Miller | May 8th 2008 by Stephan Miller
Okay, I broke my rule about always have at least two services to compare when I decide to say something is the next best thing since sliced bread. Because I have to say, why didn’t someone think of this earlier. I spent about a half an hour thi read more
Thoughts About an Intregrated Blogging Network
Stephan Miller | May 4th 2008 by Stephan Miller
Traveling Detail Light When studying a new technology, I plunge in headfirst. I have read a lot of books and from experience, despite what I learned from books, I still had to have a picture of what I was trying to learn on my own. Up to that point, read more
Thoughts on Productivity, Habits and the Price is Right
Stephan Miller | April 27th 2008 by Stephan Miller

The Continuous Process of Change
Stephan Miller | April 22nd 2008 by Stephan Miller
Repeating Myself Now let’s see if I can write this post without repeating myself. Or I will have to start calling my blog 101 ways to look at productivity. But I guess that’s the way it goes. If I looked at the concept of productiv read more
A Weekend of Work
Stephan Miller | April 14th 2008 by Stephan Miller
This weekend I got off my butt and went down a list of things I wanted to get done. I built a list of blogs using the CommentLuv plugin over at my site Digital Product Review. I am just getting the final tweaks on the theme done and am ready to star read more
Panic As Fuel
Stephan Miller | April 10th 2008 by Stephan Miller
I am a relatively organized and driven person, but I do get comfortable. Comfortable is spending way to much time exploring and not enough time marketing and getting links. Comfortable is putting off my 4 hour sessions of work that I do on the weeken read more
Comfort Zones, Slacking and Brain Enemas
Stephan Miller | April 1st 2008 by Stephan Miller
I’ve been a slacker for a couple of weeks now. The money has been good, so I slowed down. Not here at my blog, but with other projects. It’s a habit I know well and one that has sabotaged me a lot. I ran into a place where I became comfor read more
Employee of the Month
Stephan Miller | March 18th 2008 by Stephan Miller
I have come to the decision that I will never hire employees. Nope. I have managed people before and I have come up with a equation that sums it up. Take the amount you can mess a job up and multiply by the number employees you have for the complete read more
The Curses of A Contact Form
Stephan Miller | March 7th 2008 by Stephan Miller
Okay, now I know that I could do research and find a spam free contact form or something along those lines. But it involves a lesson that took me a long time to learn. Chasing every bug and plugging every hole as it comes up will send me off track. I read more
Adjusting to Sporadic Cash
Stephan Miller | March 4th 2008 by Stephan Miller
This is a good year. Affiliate marketing is recession proof. If Americans are broke, I can sell in Australia, England, Canada and other English speaking countries. But I really haven’t had to. By focusing my efforts with techniques I learned fr read more

Success, One Mistake at a Time
Stephan Miller | February 26th 2008 by Stephan Miller
I am a dumbass when it comes down to it. I was going to list a whole bunch of mistakes I have made here, but then realized that some of them make me cringe when I see them. I start a project as a perfectionist and when I finish it, I am an impatient read more
Getting Past Scheduling
Stephan Miller | February 15th 2008 by Stephan Miller
I revisit the topic of schedules every so often because schedules are evolving things. The reason why Zen to Done works for me is that it minimizes the importance of the calendar. I do most of this in my free time, using that term very loosely. I do read more
The Best Laid Plans
Stephan Miller | February 6th 2008 by Stephan Miller
The Plans I plan to write good posts. Once, I thought blogging was just internet writing and I just spit out a few words here and left for weeks at a time. I am trying to change that, but that doesn’t mean it will always happen, for now. I alw read more
Rabid Patience
Stephan Miller | January 21st 2008 by Stephan Miller
Usually my day to day activities give me enough material to write about, especially when I break things. There is no better fuel for writing than outright bitching or lightly veiled bitching. After all, I right about what I do and I break a lot of th read more
My Firefox To Do List
Stephan Miller | January 20th 2008 by Stephan Miller

Productivity Blogroll for Your Learning Pleasure
Compassion in Politics | December 31st 2007 by Nathan Ketsdever
My blogroll is getting out of control (probably in a good way), so in order not to increase the clog, I decided to make a post with my favorite productivity blogs as I move into the new year. I thought this would be a great way to help me batch my t read more
Evolving a Schedule
Stephan Miller | December 26th 2007 by Stephan Miller
In the last three months or so, I have kept a pretty good schedule of blogging. It involves getting up an hour and fifteen minutes earlier each day, getting to work, and writing a post here every day. Of course, it hasn’t been every day, mainly read more

Mifeng' GTD | December 14th 2007 by Mifeng

Keeping a Notebook
Stephan Miller | December 3rd 2007 by Stephan Miller
And I don’t mean keeping a laptop. I meaning having a place to write things down to get them out of your mind. I have written in a notebook for almost twenty years now. I started early. It has been a practice that always brings a lot more with read more
@money
Stephan Miller | November 27th 2007 by Stephan Miller
Maybe I don’t have a good bookkeeping system or maybe affiliate marketing has too many ups and downs to calculate an average or maybe I am just a straight idiot for trying to to this without an accountant, but I need an @money category of lists read more
Zen to Done - Finished
Stephan Miller | November 17th 2007 by Stephan Miller
I like the concept of big rocks. I have a lot of project lists, but very limited time to do them. But cutting the active projects down to two or three, everything else just gets filed for a while. I keep a checklist of daily blogging, research, and s read more
Zen to Done - Half Way Through
Stephan Miller | November 7th 2007 by Stephan Miller
David Allen is a control freak. Sorry to say that, but the twists and turns of his system had me slacking. There was just too much. I don’t have room for a tickler file in my backpack. I downloaded software for GTD like Thinking Rock to test it read more
