Memo to myself, 20140314: DO TODAY

Try this for the remainder of this month: DO TODAY.

Plan the week. Plan the month. Plan the quarter. Plan the year. Plan the next five years.

But do today.

Do not look at the weekly calendar while doing. Look at today's.

Do not even look at tomorrow's to-dos, until you have done today's.

Do not even look at yesterday's to-dos, until you have done today's. If there are to-dos left over from yesterday, begin working on them AFTER you have done today's.

Plan long-term, work short-term. In doing, let today trump tomorrow AND yesterday.

DO TODAY.

A tiny little lesson, from the best pop-up ever.

I dislike pop-ups.

I really, really dislike pop-ups.

Heck, I pretty much hate pop-ups. Their very existence seems engineered to annoy. When I purposefully go to a webpage, having something pop up in front of that page that deters and distracts me from that purpose annoys me intensely.

That's the rule. This is the exception. This pop-up that popped up after I signed in to GoSmallBiz (a website providing support services for small busineses) a few minutes ago gave me a hearty laugh:

God knows I don't wanna be boring, so yeah, I'm gonna check out those widgets. Meanwhile, a memo to myself: inject as much fun (delight?) as you can into everything you produce.
