Plate Spinning Productivity: Who Needs It? (The Bullet Point Version)

So, who needs Plate Spinning Productivity?

Well, I do.

But in case you aren’t me… (and you probably aren’t) I came up with gratuitous bullet-points, to help you decide.

• Are you a creative type, involved with the arts, product development, copywriting, design, etc?
• Are you primarily in charge of your own scheduling?
• Do you struggle with dividing your attention between multiple, diverse projects and areas of interest?
• Do you work best entirely immersed in a single project?
• Does the idea of prioritizing tasks according to importance confound you?
• Do you require a lot of ruminating time on projects?
• Are you overwhelmed with the idea of balancing acts of actual creation (writing, painting, code development) with the business end of marketing, promotion and book keeping?
• Do you long for your own personal project manager?
• When focused on a project, have you got the nagging sense that you should be working on something “else”?
• Are you regularly behind schedule, overwhelmed, and missing deadlines?
• Is there a collection of shattered, splattered china tucked away in your closet, the remnants of abandoned projects that lost momentum?

Now, I don’t have a nifty little scoring formula from this quiz to tell you if you need to learn Plate Spinning, but somehow, I suspect you can figure it out

I would really appreciate comments, though… Please let me know how many of these points describe you!
