For years I used paper, several notpeads that I filled with everyday tasks. I kept them somewhere in some boxes, several dozens. If moleskine would be available in Romania, I would probably become addicted to them. Once a task done, an OK appeard after it. But no daily review, no weekly review, no 2 minute rule, no contexts. Really spartan. Once I passed this organizing activity to the computer, I quickly evolved from desktop to laptop, and from Linux to Mac. Now I use a MacBookPro (a little on the expensive edge, but still affordable) and a digital tool for GTD: ThinkingRock. There is also a rule on the Steve Pavlina site regarding what kind of stuff you should buy in order to be productive, and I must agree that I always had the best chair that I ever afforded .

Her number one piece of advice is “Learn to say no.” That’s a suggestion that almost everyone can benefit from. I think number 10 is critical: “Never send email when you’re emotional.” It’s far too easy to zip off a quick email when you’re feeling hurt or discouraged or angry. And they always come back to bit you when you do that. Listen to Christine on this one and give yourself a 24-hour cooling off period. Yesterday, Steve Pavlina posted 10 Business Lessons From A Snarky Entrepreneur. Steve’s list has a slightly different focus, and I because of that, they balance each other nicely. His first point, Network Selectively, makes so much sense and yet is such a difficult concept to put into practice. Read it and embody it.

My personal favorite is #4. Think for yourself. Unplug yourself from follow-the-follower groupthink, and virtually ignore what everyone else in your industry is saying (except the ones everyone agrees is crazy). Do your own research, draw your own conclusions, set your own course, and stick to your guns. When you’re just starting out, people will tell you you’re wrong. After you’ve blown past them, they’ll tell you you’re crazy. A few years after that, they’ll ask you to mentor them. [...] [...] Steve Pavlina has a killer list of business lessons for entrepreneurs.

At first they seemed totally unrelated but in fact they are not. To quote the 10th business lesson: Do what you love, but be damned sure it’s profitable. If you do work you love, but it doesn’t generate income, your business will fail. If you do work you hate, but it generates income, your health will fail… and your business along with it. If you can’t do what you love and make it profitable, you’ve either got a hobby or a headache, not a sustainable business. Don’t settle for anything less than passion and profit.
