  I like to;

  1.) Make shorter lists.

  

• Cory Huff Feb 1, 2008 at 10:34 am  

  Seriously…137? I’m feeling a little bit overwhelmed. I think I would do better with like…3. Yeah, 3 is a good number.

  I’d be really interested to see who has actually read all of these.

• Brett Evans Feb 1, 2008 at 10:50 am  

  Thanks for the mention David!

  linkerjpatrick,
  There’s such great stuff here, it’s worth the read…

  Cory,
  I actually have. Not all at once, mind you. But I’ve come back to Ben’s lists over and over again to grab a tip here and there.

  Sharing the whole list just gives you one place to come.

  Brett,
  Absolutely. Great tips, btw.

  I was sort of making a joke… I will look over them and see if I can boil them down to a short list. It’s just that we only have so much to do during a day and I’m learning more and more how important it is to whittle stuff down to what I will really use, read, etc.

  For instance, I’ve got a lot of books that I already own I intend to read but often face to temptation to buy new one or check them out of the library, etc.

  Hi, yes i did it… i’ve read all 137 items.. but when finished i didn’t remember what it was in the middle Anyway thanks you for sharing it.

• Andrew Flusche Feb 1, 2008 at 12:31 pm  

  Thanks for including me in this recap of Ben’s project.

• Max Feb 1, 2008 at 1:39 pm  

  Wow, this list is definitely worth bookmarking. I bough “Getting Things Done” by David Allen last year, and I think it is pretty good. But I’m really looking forward to reading some of the stuff on this list.

  Thanks a lot!

  Nice list! I’m not productive enough to get through it though. Oh well, maybe another day;) Seriously, great list.

  linkerj,
  I know. I actually consider categorizing them. Yet it turned out to be way too much work considering my current work load. Maybe I’ll update them in the future.

  Serge,
  I had a similar experience posting them.

  Andrew,
  It’s my pleasure to include your post

  Max,
  There’s some really good stuff on this list. Ben and I had talked about making it into an ebook. We’ve both just been too busy - his startup.

  TzuVelli,
  Catch-22, huh?

• Mark Goodyear Feb 1, 2008 at 5:18 pm  

  An ebook is a good idea. It was good to hear from you again through the backlink, Dawud. Hope this finds you well.

• PixelHead Feb 1, 2008 at 11:14 pm  

  I actually had meant to rewrite my productivity post, I may now have to do it since you have brought it to my attention. Thanks Dawud.

• Linky Love Feb 2, 2008 at 12:05 am  

  Thanks for the Linky Love and in my tips (79 on the list) I said exactly what linkerjpatrick said: use a short list

• Home Recording Feb 2, 2008 at 9:26 am  

  I am a great fan of Ben’s. His posts are truly instructive and I am sure that he will be absolutely thrilled with your plug for him.

• Dawud Miracle Feb 2, 2008 at 2:48 pm  

  Mark,
  Great to hear from you. Long time…

  We’ll see if the eBook ever materializes.

  PixelHead,
  Certainly. Let me know when you do.

  Linky Love,
  Yeah, but what fun would that be?

  Home Recording,
  And Ben’s a great guy. Met him last year at SOBCon.

• Dining Room Furniture Feb 4, 2008 at 3:58 am  

  That a lot of stuff. someone who has read them all should just point out the best ones.

• Chris Brown Feb 4, 2008 at 4:03 pm  

  Dauwd:

  lei,
  You got it.

  Eva,
  Sure, is there a favorite tip or two of your own?

  Dining Room,
  I have a plan. Soon to come…

  Chris,
  Hey there old friend…great to hear from you. I made the update just now. And welcome to WordPress.

• Jeff Knight Feb 7, 2008 at 8:19 am  

  Wow! It will take hours, if not days to read all this! This will definitely is going to affect my productivity, and I’m affraid not in the very best way. I right now I’m using this tool - Wrike. It’a a great solution and it has really made life life a lot easier [http://www.wrike.com/]. I guess everyone is to find his own way to productivity anyway.

• Dawud Miracle Feb 7, 2008 at 9:19 am  

  Jeff,
  Interesting. I’ll check it out. Thanks.

  my number one mistake is number 1 Procrastination and fear of failure

• Dawud Miracle Feb 10, 2008 at 10:09 am  

  mike,
  Isn’t that two mistakes?

  Failure is something all of us deal with. When procrastination used to get me, it was usually from a lack of clarity about the structure of running my business. How’s your workday structured?

• Jenny Apr 7, 2008 at 3:39 pm  

  Awesome list. I am now off to read them all.

• Kids Games Jun 25, 2008 at 2:45 pm  

  For entrepreneurs, take a look at workhappy.net for inspiration. I don’t know that it helps fend off procrastination (isn’t reading websites a type of this?), but if you don’t get sucked in, you can walk away with a renewed sense of purpose!
