Parkingson's law

"Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion."


Have you ever thought ok I have 3 hours to finish this then I am out of the door to start my weekend. Then you three hours fly by and what you started that would take three hours suddenly is taking 4+ hours. You are starting to tear your hair out as you cannot see the problem. I find that just stepping away for a few minutes, make a cup of tea, wonder to the water cooler helps. I think its all to do with the subconscious working on the problem when you are doing other things.
That is something I am going to read up on I remember coming across the concept when reading Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill I think. Anyway I managed to solve my problem but not until I missed my train home and got home late to start my weekend.

Get on with it.

OK so its time to jump in.

I have been reading inspirational books joined web sites on how to run businesses, talking about doing it.
Generally trying to be a expert at doing something with out actually doing it.
So its time to throw the cards up in the air and make a hand out of what lands.
First steps
1) Create a blog. (done ish we will see how this goes.)
2) Register and get my site hosted. (something to do this week or at least by the weekend).
3) Get on with it. (start creating my business site)

I will let you know how things are going and when I have a beta site up, I hope some bloggers will log in and give me some feedback.
I created this blog to give myself some public accountability on my progress.
So as a start I have some rough time lines in my head, March for Beta test program June/July 2009 for release. There it is up there for others and myself to see.

Progress reports to follow.
