In last week’s post I talked about the importance of setting goals. I’m happy to see that you have taken action. The eBook download have double since last week. Today we’re going to talk about what YOU can do to free up some time to reach your 2011 goals.
The biggest problem today are information overload and because of all these distractions, we waste our precious time. If you follow the simple tips listed below I’m pretty sure you can save at least 30 minutes each day.
Reading email :
Read email only two times a day, the best time is at noon and end of work. I will warn you that it’s hard, but for the email addicts that constantly check their emails 100 times a day will be overwhelm on how effective this simple step is.
Email, IM and other notifications :
- Turn off email envelope icon in taskbar, email alert and the “You got mail” sound
- Turn off email push to your smart phone and iPad
- Sign out of instant messaging or set status to Don’t disturb
- Turn off Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin email notifications
