I'll have to check it out. @ Zane - Good tip for copying longer lists. It's better for streamlining to work from a template when possible. Thanks for sharing! @ tropicalismo360 - Glad it helps. Let me know how it works out for you. @ Rob – Thanks for posting the added resource. I’ll have to check it out.

That's the kind of thing I would start trying right away. The backpack trick is a winner. That’s the kind of thing I would start trying right away.

I have many checklists for things I do weekly, monthly, and quarterly. Some are quite long so unchecking a used list is time consuming. Instead I make a copy of the list, check off items on the copy, and delete it when I'm done. If I find improvements, I capture them on the original checklist so I'll have them next time around - the checklists get smarter with each use. I do something similar with Backpack.

I have found some very successful techniques which I work on during my week, no strict schedule but maybe 5 hrs or so a week. I basically really work my networking skills by direct contact with leads I create based on something I find on Twitter as well as leads from conferences or user groups. I wrote up something on my blog about the techniques if anyone is interested, called <a href="http://accidentaltechnologist.com/general/finding-work-as-a-freelance-software-developer/" rel="nofollow">Finding Work as a Freelance Software Developer</a>, sounds like just for developers but I think it can apply to many other freelance areas.

It can get overwhelming. I like emailing myself links with a subject line about what it relates to (example, Twitter Tools with a link to something that will make managing Twitter updates easier). I find it helps and keeps me from getting distracted. I know just what you mean, designamigo. It can get overwhelming.

One click leads to another; another to another, finally ending up with lots of tabs open. I might have started somewhere; ended up in a site which is totally not relevant to what i was doing. I made it a habit to bookmark the the new tabs as "Check later" and close the tabs. have to check out bubbl.us, sure it 'll help things get little more organised. <a href="http://designamigo.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">wandering thoughts</a> nice post .. its very easy to get lost completely.
