As for me, I regularly have this problem with my writing activities. I once met a writer I love, and he told me that poorness was a good motivation. That's right ! Another writer, Houellebecq, also said : "Imagine that tomorrow you'll die. You'll soon see : you'll write !"
When it comes to culpability also, I move on : writing makes me feel good, and even better when I write after a long period of lazyness. Not he best way to do things, but believe me : it works. ]]></description><dc:date>2008-05-05T12:23:25+00:00</dc:date><dc:subject>Trying to get things done</dc:subject><dc:creator>Bart P.</dc:creator></item><item rdf:about="http://mihai.fourhooks.com/General/2008/04/art6797356503-No-business-plan/#com2911214708"><title>well</title><link>http://mihai.fourhooks.com/General/2008/04/art6797356503-No-business-plan/#com2911214708</link><description><![CDATA[I do agree with you but... if you want to talk about a business plan, talk to a marketer. 
There is advertising and there is marketing.
So if you need/want a business plan ( that is actually a marketing plan for those entrepreneurs) talk with a marketer.

As far as my eyes can see, I've observed people use the advice, others ignoring it after a few hours or days. Obviously, following it works wonders, but in particular cases it can be difficult to apply 100%.

One of my mentors' approach is solving everything immediately: phone call, or decision, or order. Immediately. Whatever is not immediate, he writes it in his phone calendar, and when the alarm rings, he does it. He fails very rarely at keeping up with this.

Myself, I sometime use my mentor's approach, sometimes I adopt the Zen habits. And obviously, this inconsistent way of dealing with it results in occasional failures. Generally, I totally favor Stephen Covey's basic view on prioritizing and organizing one's life and each week of it. It works for me, when I use it. Important things first.]]></description><dc:date>2008-03-02T22:56:55+00:00</dc:date><dc:subject>Trying to get things done</dc:subject><dc:creator>Marius S.</dc:creator></item></rdf:RDF>
