5 CFT Challenge – Critical Focus Time Session 2
ByHere’s how I got on with CFT session 2 of Ed Dale’s 5 CFT Challenge:
1.Write draft article suitable for spinning for article directories
Started this while I was waiting for the blog, plug-ins and theme to load.
2. Create blog
The blog is uploaded. As are plug-ins and a theme.
I don’t like the theme I’ve chosen but I’m going to stick with it as I hear Ed Dale’s voice ringing in my ears “don’t be fussy – you don’t have the time”.
I didn’t have time to change plug-in settings or set up categories. In fact it took another CFT block to get this done and then some!
3. Set up and Add Google Analytics
4. Edit earlier draft post and upload to blog
5. Do basic bookmarking of post for indexing purposes
Done. All together this took another 3 blocks of CFT.
So, the running total so far is 5 CT blocks.
Enjoyment rating – medium. Bit frustrated with myself for taking so long over plug-in settings but need to remember this is a learning process!
Onwards and upwards

Gillian, great to follow along with your CFT progress. Just a little confused over the size of each CFT block you are using. Are you counting 1 CFT block as 30 inc rest or something else as you would longer?

Hi Rob
I do 45 minutes on and 15 minutes off. I read somewhere that 45 minutes is the maximum we can concentrate efficiently and I find that 15 minutes gives me a good time away from the computer. When I’m at home I can get quite a few odd jobs done in the 15 minute break. But the trick is to experiment and discover what works best for you. I wouldn’t recommend more that 45 minutes working though.
