Without a productivity planor iron-clad priority system, I don't see how a single entrepreneur working online can get anything meaningfully done.I'm on Facebook, Twitter, subscribed to scores of newsletters via email and Google Reader, and have my own blog, plus building a business web site. Traditional media? I can hardly keep up with the biggest public event going on right now, the health care

My blog and I went undercover a week or so ago. I am so paranoid that my boss will find my blog and decide to fire me before I'm ready, that I hid it. Stopped writing to it. (why give HER the power?) But the Gods have smiled on me. I messed up a spreadsheet, I annoyed a director, I had the SuperBoss, Cruella, decide that she needed someone with a different 'skill set' than me, and, well, I'm FREE

I'm still recovering from what transpired last Friday, which is when my boss, Cruella, asked if I planned to renew my contract, which ends in two months. (I had given her notice 6 weeks ago that the commute was killing me & that I was looking for other options, in hopes of planting a seed in her head to get rid of me! It may have worked! I need HER to get rid of ME so I have a safety net of

Just over a month ago, I returned from Ireland with a game plan: I would use the hours I spent working with Barbara Sher's Wishcraft defining goals and create the early steps to meeting them.

But here's

another deadening day/week breaks ahead of me. i'm in the cube, no one's here to see me yet, and i've a few moments of freeeeeeedom before the Great Act (of pretending i like my job) begins.i chose 'fructified' for the name of this blog because when i stumbled across the word, i found its meaning apt and its sound is strong:v. fruc·ti·fied, fruc·ti·fy·ing, fruc·ti·fiesv. tr.To make fruitful or
