Every business must abide by these rules. IBM and I by myself must use sound business practices. The production of written material is a craft, but if I want to get paid for it, then it is a business. I was particularly encouraged by the admonition to manage time carefully. As a newbie to the writing business, that is my biggest challenge. At the moment, my last task of each writing day is to make a plan for the coming day - a prioritized task list. Throughout the next day I note what I am doing that isn't on the list or I mark "done" on completed tasks. My next to last task is to determine how well I planned and where I failed. Then I try to plan better for the next day. The first task each day is to speak sternly to myself about spending too much time wandering from one interesting site to another or answering frivolous mail. It seems to be a never-ending challenge. Thanks for reinforcing the need for discipline here. I thought this piece was extremely useful. Every business must abide by these rules. IBM and I by myself must use sound business practices.
