Today I was lamenting that I’m not spending enough time analyzing the results of my work. A product of trying to do too much and being excitedly distracted by my toys (Twitter, Seesmic, this blog, WOW stead). It generally means you don’t get better at what you do and you can get burnt out. Thankfully I caught it just in time…

But it made me think about workstyle balance. Not between work and homelife, but in your actually ratio of the type of work you do.

I broke it up into a few areas;

Research - Discovering new information about something you’re doing or done.

Strategy - Thinking about what direction you should be going in and how you’re going to win.

Production - Actually implementing the strategy and plans (the real work…).

My ratio right now is about

Research : Strategy : Production

5 : 10 : 85

Where I think I should be;

20 : 20 : 60
