Today's One Question Interviewee: Liz Strauss

Claire Tompkins

Know More: Guest Bloggers, Top Three

Today I'm inaugurating a new feature on my blog; actually, two new features. One is a "Top Three" list and the other is the "One Question Interview." This time I'm combining them by asking my interview subjects this question:

"What are your three favorite personal productivity techniques, habits and/or tools?"

My first interview candidate is the successful and outstanding Liz Strauss. Her blog is full of great information about writing, branding, marketing and more, and is also a hotbed of blog community involvement. And she's really nice.

Here's Liz's top three:

I always end my day with something almost finished, but not quite done. That way when I get to work in the morning, I can sit down and do that thing and have something done almost right away. That makes me feel like I have something working for me while I start working on the next thing.
I've quit multitasking [Ed. Note: Yay!]. I get more done doing one thing at a time. I'm more accurate, which means I don't have to do things over. I'm also much nicer. :)
I gather all of my ideas of what I will write about in bunches. Switching back and forth between idea and writing, idea and writing, makes more work and more pain.

Got a top three? I'd love to hear them.

I'm liking this Liz girl more and more ;-)

#1 - straight from the Hemingway textbook on writing.

I swear I left a comment here yesterday!

Thank you so much Claire for the lovely words about me. I love writing. I get a kick out of sharing what little I know, especially if it makes other folks' work a little easier.

You, on the other hand, are the queen of productivity. I read YOU to find out how I can get better.
Liz
