Surfin' With Stan

The application BlogPress doesn't seem to be a very good application at this point. It's possible that I am expecting too much from it. What I want to do us publish once to over 12 different blogs, but it's becoming apparent that BlogPress really isn't cut out for that. I don't know whether it's because it forgets the passwords for the multiple blogs, or if if just can't handle multiple logins very well... But it has caused me to spend hours at a time just attempting to get them all connected at the same time. From what I've been able to ascertain so far, I think it has to do with the multiple locations for images it is trying to publish. I will post more on this as I figure it out.

I'm being asked that by friend, relatives and drive by browsers so let me get a quick list of the tools I'm using at this point. iPhone 4 - from ATT with a 2G plan.  I use the camera for shots.  OneNote 2007 - but only to help organize what I'm going to be doing that day Blog press - to write and publish everything Fiverr - to get some quick logos, favicons and other images. Google chrome plugin timer to keep me on the Pomodoro routine.  25 minutes on..5 minutes off.  I use these tools because they are probably within the budget of most people. The exception maybe the IPhone and ATT's data plan.  You can do this on your computer just as easily...I think.(Although I haven't really found a good tool for multi-publishing the blog across all platforms yet. I'm headed out for my daily track able run and this image is the view I'm enjoying. Just one of the benefits of having a Focus that includes Fitness. It's all about the who, what, when, where, and why of

That's probably one if the easiest questions I'll ever answer. I have my first half marathon coming up in two weeks and I have two short tins and one long run this week to keep me on schedule. I have used running to lose a lot if weight over the last year and need to continue to stay on track. My son had to be at 4AM and this gave some time with a favorite person, Running early helps me clear my mind for the rest of the day. It helps establish new habits that are better for me , in many areas. So, why aren't you joining me? It's all about the who, what, when, where, and why of things.

If you're new to blogger, then you may have read about labels but haven't really figured out the best way to use them.  I haven't either and I opened my blogger account within the first week or two of it's introduction. If you follow this blog, then you know everything I do has to be very concise, no words wasted, and as productive as possible in a five minute period.  I do my best not to get bogged down in minutia. So here is "The Fifty One" on this: On the right side of the screen you'll see "Labels" under the "Post Settings" area.   Click labels and add something that you want to 'categorize' your postings with.  In my case, it's Who, What, When, Where, How, and Why Faith, Family, Fitness, Finance, Fun and Focus. Select the label you want your article to fall under.  If you don't see one, just type it in and it will magically be added to the list.  Save the article (post) It will magically be sorted into those article

A couple of reasons. Not only have they been around for a long time and are dependable, but the applications that interface with it are too. It hooks into my Google Apps for business account, and just about everything I do runs on Google now. One of my goals in this endeavor is to be able to write a 5 minute newsletter for my clients, using Constant Contact and have it published here at the same time. More than anything though is that I don't have to learn something new just to accomplish ALOT of things at once. Since I'm writing this while waiting for my appt with a client, the proverbial two birds (maybe  three) are being killed.

Everything you're going to read about and find here has some sort of easy to remember format. For example ... Everything will utilize the number 5. That number isn't random. I use that number because I can assign the item to one of my fingers. The Plus One helps to remember guiding principles, connecting concepts, and other relevant important information. We all know the fivd little bigs represent the questions who, what, when, where and why. Plus One simply refers to the question of 'How'. See how easy that is?

Regardless of the endless numbers of spins that time management, motivational, and organizational gurus run their mouths about 'habits, sigmas, and whatevers', there's really only 5 little questions that anybody wants to know about any given subject. Those are 'who, what, when, where, and why'. It's generally accepted there is a sixth question called How... And I'll address that later as well. Just know that this method has already made me more productive, AND if you're the kind if person that likes accomplishing things, you're going to love what you read here.

The whole concept of this blog is that in order to get through the daily churn is one thing. To get through it, stay happy and FEEL like I've accomplished something is completely different. In order to do that I have to FOCUS on individual tasks for set periods of time. This blog was set up in a doctors office in five minutes. That's the time frame for writing my posts. Five minutes. I start a timer and then go for it. O ne of the rules for the site is that I must be able to do everything necessary from a phone.  It's about numbers, words, and how all that can help you maintain focus in an information, task overloaded environment.  Http::/fivelittlebigs.com Five minutes focusing on who, what, when, where and why.
