document.writeln('        20% of your activities produce 80% of your results. Let\'s talk about this');
document.writeln('        in regard to how you\'re spending your time. Since 80% of your activities');
document.writeln('        only produce 20% of your results, and the other 20% of your activities are');
document.writeln('        producing 80% of your results...wouldn\'t you be better off concentrating');

document.writeln('        Let\'s say someone works 12 hour days. It\'s almost unbelievable to me that');
document.writeln('        people work that much, but I\'ve spoken with MANY who do so. Sure I could');
document.writeln('        understand and have done a 12 hour day right before a vacation or on the');
document.writeln('        last day of finishing a project. But working that long every single day?');
document.writeln('        That\'s the surefire recipe for a breakdown, both physically and mentally.<br />');
document.writeln('        <br />');
document.writeln('        Applying the 80/20 rule to their 12 hour days means the 80% is 9.6 hours');
document.writeln('        and the 20% is 2.4 hours. If we cut out the 80% that isn\'t producing very');
document.writeln('        well for them, we would only have 2.4 hour days. Now there\'s a schedule I');
document.writeln('        like. <br />');
document.writeln('        <br />');
document.writeln('        Something I often suggest to my coaching clients is to make an activity log');
document.writeln('        for the next week. Every day, simply list all the activities for the day');
document.writeln('        and how long it took you to do them. At the end of the week rate each of');

document.writeln('        You may find like many of my clients these activities <br />');
document.writeln('  <br />');
document.writeln('        include: <br />');
document.writeln('  <br />');
document.writeln('        - Reading too many blogs (Limit the number you subscribe to)<br />');
document.writeln('  <br />');
document.writeln('        - Subscribing to Internet marketing newsletters that only sell without providing');
document.writeln('        good quality content.<br />');
document.writeln('        <br />');
document.writeln('        - Answering Email All Day (no more than twice per day and shoot for once');
document.writeln('        per day or less)<br />');
document.writeln('        <br />');
document.writeln('        - Surfing the Forums (I can\'t think of a bigger waste of time if you\'re not');
document.writeln('        there for the purpose of generating traffic by participating)<br />');
document.writeln('        <br />');
document.writeln('        - Calling Someone Without a Specific Plan in mind (you can waste an hour');
document.writeln('        with no results - keep it short and planned) All of the above are activities');
document.writeln('        people do to make them FEEL like they\'re working instead of doing any real');

document.writeln('        <br />');
document.writeln('        What are you personally doing that is wasting your time? What do you do to');

document.writeln('        Next ask yourself which activities really bring in the cash.<br />');
document.writeln('  <br />');
document.writeln('        For example, for me, these cash producers include:<br />');
document.writeln('  <br />');
document.writeln('        #1 - Writing (used for the blog, new products, and article submissions)<br />');
document.writeln('  <br />');
document.writeln('        #2 - Copywriting (sales copy for my sites, tests, and emails)<br />');
document.writeln('  <br />');

document.writeln('        <br />');
document.writeln('        #4 - Business Development (creating systems for others to do the work - could');

document.writeln('        Where do I waste my time? <br />');
document.writeln('  <br />');
document.writeln('        I asked myself this question lately and had to answer I had slacked on following');
document.writeln('        my own email rule (answering no more than twice per day max which I do for');
document.writeln('        the coaching clients). So I\'m pushing myself strictly back to this. <br />');
document.writeln('        <br />');
document.writeln('        I\'ve also allowed myself to check the comments on my blog too often. So for');
