Pay Yourself First

Cash Register 70photo by zizzybaloobah

Every morning, for about 2 hours, I pay myself first by researching, reading, and writing blog posts…before I dive into email hell

This is from a post about how to think about your blogging by Jeremiah Owyang that tells you to pay yourself first.  Why is it that we head first to the inbox where we can lose ourselves in responding and reacting to what other people want?

Take charge and take that time up front for yourself!

Do what you want to do, then do what you need to do

Get to your thinking, reading, writing first while your mind is fresh.  Makes sense to me.

What do you think?
