This week’s interview is with Sarah Zeldman. Sarah talks about time mangement versus energy management. She explains how most women have the time to do the things we want but NOT the energy to accomplish the tasks. We talked about the importance of being aware of when your energy is the highest - each person is different - some have more energy in the morning, some at night. We touched on the importance of sleep and exercise. And finally, she shares some encouragement on how women can take baby steps to add more energy into their lives.

She mentions some awesome resources:

No time to blog? Here’s a solution for you.

Microblogging has been the “hottest” thing these days in cyberworld. What is it exactly? Well, the shortest and simplest definition I can think of is that microblogging is like text messaging except - instead of sending your text to just one person, you are sending it for cyber-world to see. Note though that you have an option of having your microblog posts available to everyone on the web or a selected private group.

So … how do you microblog?

While a traditional blog requires you to log-in and post your entries online, you can “microblog” using both your cell phone or your computer - thus microblogging presents that benefit of portability. One thing to remember though - microblogging only allows you to blog brief posts (usually limited to 140 to 200 characters) at a time. So before you start typing your post, you need to really think about how you can make the most out of your words. You can microblog as often as you want as long as you do not post spam. You can even build a following or your own microblogging community. You can connect with other microbloggers and get quick replies to your microblog posts. The fun thing about microblogging is that you can send your messages in text, audio or even video.

Below are some advantages of microblogging:
- It is very easy to post your thoughts in cyberspace using microblogging. Microblog to share your events, promote your business or just to share links worth checking out.
- You can build your own community by microblogging and have others subscribe to your feed - a great way to promote yourself. You can then make a connection with others.
- Microblogging is portable. You can use your cell phone and still be connected to your community even if you are on the go.
- You can microblog using text, audio or even video so there are a lot of possibilities here - you can let your creativity come out!
- The fact that there is a 140-200 character limit in microblogging, you do not have to worry about providing lots of content in your microblog post.

There are some disadvantages too and they are listed below:
- It can be really addicting and if you do not use it properly, it could be a great time waster.
- If you are not careful about what your post on your microblog - for example posting about your “ideas”, your subscribers can easily “adopt one of your ideas and pass it as their own”.
- If you work online and are microblogging for the most part of the day, it can be really distracting and it can take away your focus on projects that you need to complete.

Two microblogging tools that I have been really enjoying lately are Twitter and Utterz. You can follow my twittering here and hear my uttering here. If you want to learn a bit more about Twitter, I have a short video tutorial you can watch by clicking here. Feel free to subscribe to my tweets and utterz.

This week, I interview Kelly McCausey of WAHMTalkRadio.com about the Importance of FOCUS in Business. She talks about “Entrepreneural ADD” and “Shiny Object Syndrome”.

The ideas Kelly shared are very thought provoking - this is a topic that does not get old because every once so often we need to take a step back and look at our business from a different angle.
