DO NOT CHECK EMAIL UNTIL YOU HAVE COMPLETED ONE LARGE TASK FOR THE DAY. DON’T EVEN SNEAK A PEEK AT YOUR INBOX UNTIL YOU’VE CROSSED OFF A BIG TO-DO!!!
Often times, checking our email is not a top priority, but instead, our clever way of looking for something more interesting than the task at hand or our sneaky way of delaying the start of something more important.
It is easy to spend thirty minutes here and twenty minutes there on email, but how much is actually being accomplished when we’re doing that?
We all know the eighty/twenty rule, which states that twenty percent of our efforts produce eighty percent of our results. It’s important to consider that twenty percent of an eight hour day is ninety-six minutes, which is time that easily gets burned clicking around our inbox with our morning cup of coffee!
This week, when you get to the office, knock out one of your biggest to-dos for the day, before checking your email. You will thrive off of the accomplished feeling in knowing it’s only 10:30 and you already finished one large task.
Ok, let’s recap: DO NOT CHECK EMAIL UNTIL YOU HAVE COMPLETED ONE LARGE TASK FOR THE DAY. DON’T EVEN SNEAK A PEEK AT YOUR INBOX UNTIL YOU’VE CROSSED OFF A BIG TO-DO!!!
