Ketchup Week

R2-D2 just sent out a tweet saying: *daat doot daat deet doot* #ketchupweek

I’m very excited about the 4th year of Ketchup Week. This has been an exciting year for me, and I’m ready to spend some time catching up on projects before it ends!

Why is Ketchup Week at the end of the year? The answer is simple: I first came up with the idea right before Christmas, in December 2005. At that time, a friend had joked that it was a good week to “catch up.”

The time between Christmas and New Year’s is also perfect for catching up on side projects of any sort. Work on customer projects or just take the week to catch up on sleep, it is your choice!

December 26-31 is often distraction free because clients are often taking a holiday, and don’t expect you to be at work. What a great week to get stuff done!

So here’s to another year — I hope you have a productive week, and a productive new year!

Thank you for helping us to promote Ketchup Week! Now, go be productive!

We’re excited about this years Ketchup Week which starts on December 26th and lasts through the end of the year. But best of all! This year you can play an active part in spreading the word about Ketchup Week. We’re going to have video, interesting articles, and will be actively posting on Twitter.

Ketchup Week is all about productivity. The idea behind it is it let’s you “catch up” on all of your personal projects that you’ve been delaying all year. Nobody expects you to really get much work done right after Christmas and so you have a bit more leeway to get things done.

I’ll close by including a cool trick you can show your friends.

Have a great Christmas and check back here on December 26th and all week during Ketchup Week for some cool articles.
