You've just provided me with a key to my frustration about productivity: rhythm. Now I knew that on one level but conveniently forgot to apply it to my week. After decades of a crushingly scheduled corporate life, I wanted to leave room for my extremely creative mind. I also wanted to be responsive to incoming requests. Well, I haven't been accomplishing what I know I can do given the amount of time I devote. Thanks Paula for reminding me of this fundamental idea. Aahh!

Thanks Paula for reminding me of this fundamental idea.

Wendy - I love hearing about your weekly schedule - and your two-a-day plan re. blog comments. I am honored to have been among the first. (And it's a great idea!) I'll look forward to hearing (and reading) about how the weekly schedule goes for you. And Kristina, thank you for adding your thoughts. One of the places where I often notice a convergence of rhythm and time is when I am exercising and get into a "zone." And I think it can happen with other activities as well, albeit not always as recognizably. I'd love to hear any further thoughts you have on the subject!

I will have to read Jon Bergen's article. I have thought of patterns as having rhythm but I have not tied them in to time in the way you discuss it in your article. “We are Rhythm” is a novel way to think about time.

I've recently gotten my office organized and one of the things I established over the weekend was a weekly schedule, Monday through Friday, covering my most important priorities. For example, I'm building in the habit of commenting on two blogs per day in the morning (see...it's working!). By creating a weekly roadmap I can already see the power of building the time in, which makes it that much easier -- rhythm and routine are key for me. Thanks for a great and insightful post Paula!
