This week, we’ll be running a series of polls to try to get some insight into our audience so we can do 2010 planning with you in mind. Please feel free to leave comments clarifying any answers or letting us know if we skipped a possible answer we should have included. Thanks!

Here’s the first one:

I don’t know about you, but I’m always pressed for time. So I got interested when I saw Jared over at The Marketing Diner talk about his geeky time saving work idea:

My solution? Use iSpeak It to convert the analysis text into an MP3 and listen to it during my run…

He wants to know what your geeky time-savers are, too, so hit up his blog and give your reply or leave a comment here and let us know. Or both! Especially if you can, you know, find a geeky way to do both quickly.

It can be awfully tempting to use your weekend to catch up on what didn’t get done this week, or what perenially never gets done. I know: I do it all the time.

But downtime gives us perspective, lets us recover physically and mentally, and allows us to perform better. So here’s a thought: as you go about your Friday, look for simple ways to tie up loose ends a bit tighter than usual so that you can use your weekend to recharge. Maybe it’s as simple as tidying your desk before you leave. I promise you, you’ll come back fresher on Monday for it.

Have a great Friday, and a very relaxing weekend.
