Chris, thanks for a very insightful video.

Not busting chops at all here, Chris, but how do you reconcile a 6 hour work day with the original Overnight Success video? I think there's a real tendency for people just starting their own business to work, work, work... which isn't a bad thing - it takes hard work... but that needs to be metered with, as you pointed out, things like reading, planning and so forth.

Chris, thanks for sharing your time management tips. I found this video through Beth Kanter's recent post and it cemented a lot of the ideas. I think it'll take some time to whittle down a 10 hour day into 6, but this was a helpful start.

I think this is an excellent way to manage a 6 hour work day. I am thinking on how to chunk some of this time management into my own day. Thanks

Thanks for posting this -- I actually do a version of it, but not as conscious: start the day at 8 with setup, reading, production, then meeting. Then I'm in free-form until lunch, and then freeform until possibly another meeting, free-form until I prep for the next day, and then I head home at 5. I think, though, this is a great way to structure the day bc it's not so rigid, but still gives me a rubric for production and creative time. yay!

Great video Chris. It's so easy for one task to morph into something else, and before we know it we're off track. For those of us that don't do this naturally; perhaps building those "chunks" of time into our calenders might help...

I really need to start doing this. I sit down to work and somehow get lost on Twitter or reading for hours and end up not accomplishing anything.

Well done. Thank you.
