Utilize your calendar to schedule tasks. Sit down at your calendar and block out the time for your tasks. If you need to write/send your holiday cards then look at your calendar and schedule it in. In the calendar. Schedule those activities on your calendar. Don't fill your calendar to the max.

Tip #2: When writing for others, be sure to retain copyright. Blog posts and articles can turn into: ebooks, presentations, calendar/tip-of-the-day. I've recently launched my own blog and those articles will reappear there, and one day they may be re-purposed again into a book. Thanks to Clare Kumar of Streamlife.
