240 Hour Challenge
My robo massive project continues. While I’m just cracking into the bottom level of being an “intermediate†php / MySQL programmer, I’m trying to Text Link Center the best it can possibly be. This means the whole process is very time consuming. So be it. I’ve just got to fight the learning curve.
I’ve figured out a tremendous way to improve my productivity. While I often put in long hours, I also often ask myself “What did I get done in these 14 hours?â€. Usually, the answer is not as optimistic as I would have hoped. It’s just too easy to get off track with distraction, especially when working at home.
So, I’ve created my 240 Hour Challenge. In the month of June, I have to put in 240 hours into Textlinkcenter.com. (As of this writing, I have 195 hours to go). This means if I work on recordingreview.com or any other ventures, the clock stops. I’ve found that averaging 8 hours per day, 7 days per week is a little tougher than I had first realized. The time I spend answering forum posts, emails, etc about things that are not directly related to finishing up the my project at hand have been eating up more of my time than I first realized. Even with my newfound focus, I find that putting 10 hours into textlinkcenter.com is really a 13 hour day. Even now, I’m writing this blog when I should be focusing on textlinkcenter.com. The clock is stopped now.
Anyway, if you want to be more productive on your web projects, create a goal and see if you can stick with it. I’m determined to smash my 240 hour goal in the month of June. I’ve been way harder on myself about working through being tired and fighting distractions. When it comes down to the wire, I’m expecting to really have to buckle down at the end of the month. This is a self-made, artificial motivation that I KNOW will kick me in the ass.
