This post starts with Technorati but moves quickly to how I get through chunks of work without spending all my time lost in the lovely world of information and learning that is the web – business hygiene.

I found my way to Technorati. Looked over the front page. Quickly found the search tool. Started with elearning as the word to search. It came up with a fabulous list of blogs.

I just rightclick the ones I like the look of and open them in a new tab. I now have so many open, my tab bar looks like squidgy blocks.

Problem is that as soon as I start reading them, I find other links and am interested in those.

Perhaps an important point here is about workflow management.

I am doing this blogpost in my business hygiene time. For the first time this week (Thursday) I have something resembling a normal day. So I started with my hygiene tasks and my coffee. (Working from home, so first task was a load of washing in the machine.) In my work hygiene, I rip through my inbox; answer emails, and sort those which don’t need answers but do need to be kept. Then to Twitter. Eight minutes of looking at recent posts and following interesting links. Then into my blog. I now have ten more minutes of blogging time left before I move to the next task. This time I will choose something from my to do list. So most probably finishing off a reflection for my Dip VET.

After an hour I am through a lot of chunks of work. Some are not completed tasks but they have had a bite or nibble taken from them which keeps them ticking over.

While looking over image generators, I found this Mosaic Image Generator. It is way cool. I will have to use it in another post.
