"Uncluttering" My Brain with an Editorial Calendar for 2005

You probably know the feeling.

You've got a dozen projects going on at the same time, a dozen of letters and articles to write, a dozen of web sites to feature, a dozen of products to create, a dozen of interviews to conduct, a dozen events to attend...

No?

Then welcome to the crazy life of an Internet entrepreneur! Pull up a chair...

The biggest "clutter" happens in my brain when I have both, short-term and long-term projects on my plate, and the timelines are overlapping!

So, as my best friend suggested, I am creating *visual* timelines for myself.

Tonight, I began with an excellent organizing tool - my own editorial calendar for the weekly newsletter. Here is how it looks blank:

Click on this link to see it in actual size, as an HTML page (I am most comfortable in a web editor, so instead of using Word, I just designed it as a web page).

Now, any time I have an idea for an article or a must-announce event, I'll record it in my calendar and refer to it each week.

Because "uncluttered" brain = peace of mind, higher productivity, and good night sleep.
