@Chris – Thank you! I’m working on the miraculous – and would rather have it come with hard work than not. At least then I’m not reliant on some Ethereal Muse From The Sky to drop good stuff in my lap.

@Megan – Awesome! I love it – a productivity hack with consequences. Thanks for sharing! I think that’s something I’m going to have to implement.

@Lea – Thanks for the comment! A lazy day is good once in a while. The more frequent they get, however, the less pleasurable.

The miraculous usually takes some work to get to, but it sounds like you know that.

All the best with your new career! Sounds great. Keep writing.

Tee hee, Charlotte.

For me, the best productivity hack is one that has consequences. I’ve been in an exercise group for about 7 months now, where we each have to meet our weekly exercise goals or else we have to pay up $50 (goes to charity). My goal is 5 hours a week and I’ve only missed it once — the week I moved. It’s as much about honor as the $50, honestly. I don’t want to be the only one who didn’t make it.

Of course, being an entrepreneur has built-in consequences: no work = no eat. I’d love it if we could develop a productivity buddy relationship!

Congrats & welcome to the exciting world of entrepreneurship Those lazy mornings are one of the best benefits of the whole thing…that is, until you realise they’ve extended into the rest of the day, just like you found!!!

Not being a morning person myself, I’ve found that working for myself means I can work to the hours I find the most productive – but – and it’s a big but – you are *so* right, routine & accountability are no less important as an entrepreneur and I love your idea of a productivity buddy.
