Making a list of a great place to start. Multiple times per week I will be sitting in one of my morning classes and before the class starts, I will just list everything that I can think of that I need to do whether it be homework, meetings, business related, or just returning phone calls. It helps me to stay focused on what I need to accomplish. Of course writing a list is great, but actually being able to focus to accomplish the tasks is half the battle. Some days your just in the mood to be really productive and some days not.

Maybe like Kyle suggested, you need a short break from the world of the computer and business. Just take a day or two off and do only the bare minimum that you need to such as your school work. Let everything else just rest on the back burner for a day.

I use post-it notes on the side of my desks to make sure I never escape the pressure and enjoy a moment of fun without an ounce of guilt :).

I get that all the time because, basically I’m lazy. If I can’t see myself doing something the ‘right’ way the first time, in the back of my mind says ‘wait until you get a clear vision’. Then, I move on to something else. Unfortunately, other times you have to bite the bullet and just finish the work” regardless. I’m using this ToDo list now. It helps putting deadlines on stuff to do. My best stuff happens when the adrenalin is rushing. .. ps../nice redesign.
