@techbizgeek you are so right a schedule is very important and especillay if you have consistency issues. I have that issue also so I have been slowly adding to my schedule each day. It helps you to know when you're getting overwhelmed. And it's not easy when you have a day job too.

As for what else I would add to my list is writing emails regularly. This is import cause when life happens and you have to cut something off your list for a day or two, you already have your emails lined up and ready to go and you won't miss your normal connecting with those on your list.
