Hi there,

this turns out to be another interesting year for me. I have made quite a New Years Resolution this time, at least from my perspective, to tie up all loose ends and be a bit more of a regular working family guy, which includes getting up early and going to sleep at a reasonable time. Well… I have done quite some of that in January, like finally getting www.seoexperts.com up in the air. However, in February I started to realize, that work didn’t get done as quickly as it should, and by the beginning of this month I was totally behind on every time line existing, work and private. I find it a bit ironic, that this is happening now where I get up early in the morning. I even told a few people that, while trying to make everyone happy, I probably managed to piss everyone off… it actually depressed me a bit, to a point that I had a tense neck and headache for almost 2 weeks, up until a few days ago… A few days ago I had a bit of a revelation when talking to a client of mine about this. She pointed out, that in the daytime there are always distractions – especially where I programm at home, but also phone calls etc are a distraction when programming, and that is probably why things are now taking longer to program. I thought about how I used to be a night owl, and quite often programmed for 8 hours or more straight through the night and the longer I programmed the faster I got because I was more and more “into” the code…. I am not doing that any more, in fact I have hardly ever more than an hour without something interrupting me – and that is the reason! WHY didn’t I realize this earlier?! So, I am changing my whole plan now, hehe… I will get up a little later around 11am, do my coffee and news, have breakfast/lunch with the family and then do the “normal work” like emails, phone calls etc. until I “finish normal work” at 6pm. Then, after everyone went to bed, I make a night session of programming until about 2-3am.

So… let’s see how that works out. If you want to call me, do it between 11am and 6pm, and there is a good chance I answer

p.s. everyone who tried to call me in the daytime recently and didn’t get through is hereby informed, I either turned my phone off or silent, so I can get some work done… nothing personal.
