However, it's important for me to set aside time for learning. I dedicate a good portion of my time to reading industry books and watching webinars. I now set aside a full morning each week to learning. I find it easier if my mind is focused on one key task/goal for the day. Of course, there are always distractions, but it's easier to switch back to my one key intention if this time is slotted off for this purpose already. Great post!

I don't research anymore but my partner tries to write every morning. And I've been pushing the value of 30-minutes a day (http://jovanevery.ca/category/30-minutes-a-day/) I think if you are going to do a couple of hours a day they need to be GOOD hours, not the end of the day when tired and burned out.

It's so easy to get swept up with work and the week... You are probably the busiest person I know... so I'm amazed you manage to put away a day for that! :) That's great!
