One of the biggest time wasters in your day is what you’re doing right now. Checking your email frequently sucks up time like a Dyson vacuum sucks up dirt. And most important, I insist that you fight the urge to open your email inbox until as last as possible each day. Fight for every minute, because once you open this Pandora’s box, it will continue to suck you back in over and over and over all day long, stealing time like a thief in the night. Minimize the number of messages that you send and receive. In fact, I give you permission to unsubscribe from the majority of email newsletters you receive.
Tackling your email addiction can add multiple ten to fifteen minute chunks of productivity to your day. This alone could add up to two hours. But there’s still one more way you can save time and that is through the elimination of the online OCD loops that we have engrained in our habits. I know because I once suffered from this issue. The first stop was email, followed by checking my website sales stats, and then it deteriorated into visiting ESPN, my fitness forum, and other websites. Once I felt like I had reached the end of the Internet, I would start back with my inbox and circle through again. I solved this problem by designating a 15 minute block at lunchtime for these sites. Certainly it would be better to eliminate them completely, but this has saved me at least 45 minutes each day. It will do the same for you.
Hacking away at the unessential can apply to many other components of your day. You can run more efficient meetings and even spend less time exercising if you know how to plan your workouts properly, avoiding those long, boring sessions on the treadmill.
