This is my second missed productivity post in 2 weeks. Grr. I’ve got to start scheduling posts when life gets busy...
Have you ever wished for another hour in the day to get all your stuff done? As you all know by now, I’ve given up cable. I still watch a fair amount of shows online but I usually just listen to them as I make dinner or work on hand sewing my dog kennel project. One of the biggest ways to gain time in your day is to turn off the TV. The thing about TV is not only do you usually get sucked into watching a show you're not all that interested in just because it’s on after a show you regularly watch, when you finish watching TV you aren’t geared up to do anything else. Countless times I’ve turned on the TV to unwind after work and 3 hours later I’m still watching not ready to start anything. Now I come home and do stuff. I still watch a show around 8 but that’s a good 2 plus hours after I’ve been home, cooked, cleaned, and played on the internet.
Another suggestion for getting more time out of your day is to spend an average week documenting what you do every 15 minutes. Seems kind of excessive and time consuming for a whole week, but I bet I’ll be surprised at where I am wasting time. My weeks are a little bit crazy right now but I plan on doing this in a few weeks to see if there are other TV equivalents out there sucking away my time.
Where does all your time go?

i'm glad you've been able to be more productive. my time vaccum is the internet! :P
Blah - work and school, work and school, work and school - that's where most of my time goes.
bobbin- I think that's my next time vaccum. It's become my tv replacement.
MJ- I remember those days. I actually think I was much more productive when I was in school and working than I am now. Now I spend most of my time escaping the memories of my 9-5.
