It&#8217;s often what I hear small business people saying about using social media as a way to syndicate their content, or message.</p>
<p>I found a great little tool to help you with that. In fact, I&#8217;m using it with this post. I happened upon <a href="http://code.google.com/p/pomodairo/" target="_blank">Pomodairo</a> the other day. It&#8217;s a cool little Google tool to help you time your tasks.</p>
<p>I try to share links to blog posts that I think will help my followers on <a href="http://twitter.com/debrasimpson" target="_blank">Twitter</a>, friends on <a href="http://facebook.com/syndicatingyourcontent" target="_blank">Facebook</a> and my blog readers would enjoy reading. I allotted myself 15 minutes this morning to check out my Google Reader and share links to articles. I was pleasantly surprised that the 15 mins. I gave to the task was really all I needed, and I finished right on time.</p>
<p>Give Pomodairo a whirl and see if setting a time for a given task will help you maximize syndicating your content, or message, raising your online visibility, credibility and profitability.</p>
<p>If you use a tool that helps you stay focused on one task at a time, please join the conversation by commenting!Technorati Tags: <a class="performancingtags" rel="tag" href="http://technorati.com/tag/google%20tools">google tools</a>, <a class="performancingtags" rel="tag" href="http://technorati.com/tag/productivity">productivity</a></p>

<p>I found this great article at <a href="http://www.geekpreneur.com/how-mind-mapping-can-make-freelancers-more-productive">Geekpreneur</a> about Mind Mapping to become more productive. I&#8217;ve found that Mind Mapping really helps me, as I&#8217;m a visual learner. For my own mind mapping I use <a href="http://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page">Free Mind</a> mind mapping software.</p>
<p>Mind Mapping offers me a blank canvas that I can use to let my creativity run wild. It helps me by prompting new ideas and allows me to be as detailed as I like. As I said, it also gives me a visual, which is very important to me.</p>
<p>There are also many different tasks that can be managed by mind mapping, as you can see in the article. It&#8217;s a great read and could make the difference in your business.</p>
<p>Download <a href="http://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page">Free Mind</a> and give it a whirl.</p>
