My work is already pretty well structured, and to a degree this is rolling back the calendar to what I was doing a couple years ago.

I'm not trying to work part time, just get it balanced better… My uber-simplistic plan is to:

  • Remove Fridays from the normal work week. Participating in self-development on Fridays is okay. This worked great for me in the past.
  • Schedule all of my fixed commitments at 11am or later, so if we're up until 1am playing Rock Band, nobody gets hurt. That will be especially important when the Beatles Edition gets here.
  • involving outsourcers in the business instead of just the task

Are you talking about the new Apple iPod that is being released on Sept 9th?
