Committing to Little Things to Get to Big Things

Jeremy N Johnson — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 04:37:27 +0000

Last time I wrote about being paralyzed by choice. With so much to do, how does one decide where to go next? Well, I’ve decided I am going to take the do nothing approach. I don’t mean I’m going to sit on my hands and wish for something. I do [...]

Paralyzed By Choice

Jeremy N Johnson — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 05:55:07 +0000

I’ve spent the last couple days wrestling with my next niche website idea. I feel a bit paralyzed, I have to admit. I think I have several good ideas, but I also am writing another book and working on a game development company. Not to mention my full time job and family. Is this [...]

What Should My Niche Website Be About?

Jeremy N Johnson — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 06:20:04 +0000

I’ve spent the last couple hours tonight wrestling with what I should do my next website about. I’m being very careful to actually plan and consciously choose what this site is about. But I am definitely wracking my brain with what I think I should do. It needs to be something I’m interested in doing [...]

Sharing Knowledge With Others Using Niche Websites

Jeremy N Johnson — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 23:56:41 +0000

I recently purchased a very well thought out book by Lisa Irby on niche websites (I’ll review it at a future date and link it here). After reading through it, I really began to think about the concept of creating niche websites. Why should I make them? Sure, we all want to change [...]

I Am Afraid

Jeremy N Johnson — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 03:56:43 +0000

I am afraid. I’m afraid that I’m not being a good enough dad and husband. I’m afraid at work that the company will decide to just get rid of me. I’m afraid that I offend some people with the decisions I make. I’m afraid I miss out on friendships because of my lack of [...]

How To Be Great Instead of Good

Jeremy N Johnson — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 17:39:49 +0000

Good doesn’t take long to achieve. Average takes less time still. What about being great? Michael Jordan, Larry bird, and Magic Johnson were great at basketball. Bill Gates is great at understanding technology. Jim Brickman is great at playing the piano. Bon Jovi is a great musician. Oprah is a great talk show [...]

Lesson 7: Improve Your Craft

Jeremy N Johnson — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 04:00:33 +0000

This is the seventh lesson in the Get It Done Now Series.

This is it, the final lesson in the Get It Done Now Series. Improving your craft is no big secret. Stephen Covey calls it “Sharpening the Saw.” Regardless, it’s the same concept of a car with rust. Without improving your [...]

Lesson 6: Make Use of Every Second

Jeremy N Johnson — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 00:30:08 +0000

This is the sixth lesson in the Get It Done Now Series.

In order to get more done, why not create more time in the day? This is easy to do and it ranges from playing audio in your car, to having books and articles available to read in your house. Here’s a [...]

Lesson 5: How To Finish Most Tasks In An Hour Or Less

Jeremy N Johnson — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 04:54:22 +0000

This is the fifth lesson in the Get It Done Now Series.

Previously I talked about the importance of using short time periods for completing tasks. Because everything begins to rust, decay, and lose its spark over time, it’s important to set short bursts for your projects. Now we’ll look into how [...]

Lesson 4: Setup Time-Boxed Completion Cycles

Jeremy N Johnson — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 02:28:31 +0000

This is the fourth lesson in the Get It Done Now Series.

In the previous lesson, I talked about using Trello.com to manage your projects. It’s a simple application you can use in any web browser or mobile device. I mentioned to stick to one week “intervals” for doing projects. I’ll expound [...]
