I am engaging in productive procrastination.

I had an idea for a project. I’m good at finding where people are having difficulties and figuring out how to help them work through or around those difficulties. In my search for a particular web site about home/life management, I found a lot of posts from people asking for alternatives to FlyLady, and it seemed that most of the complaints stemmed from an inability to personalize the system. (Some were more about her attitude, the volume of e-mails, the non-organization of the web site, and other more practical concerns.)

I thought that what I could do is develop a method that will help people personalize these kinds of systems – help them figure out what will work for them, so that they can be successful and finally feel in control of their lives.

So I am gathering some information to help me do this. I would really appreciate it if some of you lovely people would be willing to go and fill out the survey here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?hl=en_US&formkey=dFhGUjFrLThzcEZLQjcwMmdBNEROd2c6MQ#gid=0

Feel free to share the link with anyone else you think might like to be involved. I’m looking at everything here, from what systems are out there to what works and what doesn’t, from what format would be best to whether or not people would be willing to test things out as I develop this method.

Thanks everyone!
