		<description><![CDATA[Roger, I think maybe &quot;time management&quot; isn&#039;t really the word for what this is.  It&#039;s more of a way of keeping track of priorities.  So, for example, it should be harder to forget that on the weekends, when I&#039;m in a good mood, I should play with the kids before working on some one-off project for fun.  

To clarify, the things under entrepreneurship aren&#039;t all being done at once.  They&#039;re a queue where I (now) have a rule that I can only work on one at a time.  But, part of the reason why I tend to get distracted by new projects is because I don&#039;t want to forget them.... now I can add them to the list and not loose that.  

So, it&#039;s not so much about time management, really, as about helping me keep my eye on the prize.  Make sense?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You have a lot of stuff on your plate. It is time to pare it down and decide what is important enough to see through to the end since you are not going to get all this stuff done. You have categorized and listed out a lot of stuff. The risk is that you don&#039;t finish much of anything. 

One technique to get things accomplished is to use something like the pomodoro technique to time slice. That way, you only work on one thing at a time and hopefully finish work. Plan to finish projects by dividing them up into tasks and deliverables. Then, work on those tasks and deliverables one by one.

Another issue is to decide what the end of a project would be. Sometimes, we keep adding things to projects rather than finish then iterate. Decide on a minimum number of your tasks that you have to do and make some hard choices. Once the important stuff is done, you can move to the things you set aside or work on new ideas.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I wish I was fortunate enough to be inundated with ideas. It must be hard if you have attention deficit disorder to stay focused, that&#039;s not a failing in execution, your positioning your propisition wrong.

Your obviously an ideas man/ inventor/creative and it sounds like you should be making notes of all your ideas and selling them. There are plenty of people that want their own business but can&#039;t think of an idea.
