You bashed monsters by hitting keys on your keyboard whilst wondering if you could hook up a nodding bird à la Homer Simpson. Having accountability in that way can definitely help drive us towards our goals. Murlu – Yep, inspiration definitely helps! Griffin – Drool and keyboards don’t mix.

I am not a freelancer as such but I do work from home and I’ve training my boss and colleagues to stop arranging meetings after 4pm (still working on that one), I’ve been forcing myself to step away from the keyboard and to stop checking work emails after hours. You have plenty of time left for that client. Good post.

No delicate tippy-tapping on the keyboard for me. Reply Joshua Black | The Underdog Millionaire ( @jblack2012 ) April 28, 2010 at 10:23 am I have found that it’s best just to walk away from the keyboard before you hit send and regret it forever. Sometimes it’s best to just walk away from the keyboard. Or had he?

That’s a key point and a very important question for every blogger who had been wrecked more than one keyboard writing. Based on my own framework, called Assess - Decide - Do, it will definitely change the way you look at productivity. But the most important part of the question is not “how” but “why”. A set of rules followed closely.

This is where bloggers get a head start: if you have a blog, you have a good reason to put fingers to keyboard on a regular basis. I don’t know who wrote them and why they thought they had the right to sit before a keyboard and litter the Web with, um, substandard writing. So it’s a good exercise, although a bit painful.

It’s fun, but it’s not like I sit at my keyboard, occasionally throwing my arms into the air and squealing, “Wheeeeeee! People listen now…’ Definitely confidence issues for me. Heather: As people start tuning in, the pressure to be “on&# can definitely rise. . “That’s what I want.” I’m writing!”

No matter what the topic is, before you put pen to paper or fingers to keyboard, be sure that you have the qualifications to write about whatever you are about to share. I can definitely agree that I don’t know enough to sell an ebook about SEO. If not, move on to something else. I know a bit about it but I am not an expert.
