Back in February one of my blog posts was highlighted on Brent Ozar Unlimited’s Weekly Links. Wow, what a bump in traffic! I usually receive a hand full of views a week, but on February 26th it reached 1,212. The cool part was it was actually the #2 link on Brent Ozar Unlimited’s newsletter for the day. If you don’t currently subscribe, here is a link to start.
This particular blog post was about my daily routines under the Getting Things Done (GTD) time management methodology. Based on the hit count and activity on Brent’s newsletter, I realized that time management & personal productivity are topics I need to spend more time on with my writing. Like other DBAs, I wear multiple hats and trying to keep all projects moving forward along with daily DBA operations can be difficult. I’m guessing there are few other DBAs with the same issues so I’m hoping I can help.
If you’re looking for other #sqlfamily that have posted about time management and personal productivity, check out K. Brian Keely (b|t) and Marlon Ribunal (b|t). They each have their own technical blogging sites but head over to their other sites focusing on personal productivity. Brian is also known as the Goal Keeping DBA and Marlon has posted around improving the life of knowledge workers. I would suggest following both of them and reading back through the archives.

Nice job, glad the readers found it as interesting as I did! It’s always fun getting them to go visit different blogs, and hopefully some of ’em subscribe to yours permanently too.
Thank Brent!
