* Deleted all my newsreader feeds and really evaluating each feed as it goes back in. Things I’m unsure about go in a ‘trial’ folder and I’ll zap them if they don’t interest me within a week.
-
I’m checking email Dr. Pepper style, at 10,2 and 4. Batching should help
-
I’ll also do an RSS feed run at these times. I’ll reward myself with a flickr/twitter/mefi review if I’m a good boy.
-
No email review in the morning as I start my machine.
-
Unsubbed from all email discussion lists.
-
All sound-based notification off.
-
Reinforcing my habit of making a micro to do list of 3 to 5 things. Index card or sticky note for the day. Setting crazy short deadlines for each activity. Doing only one thing at a time.
-
mornings are mine, as that’s when I jam.
-
Anything that can be converted into a feed, do it. Shunt the email directly to archive.
-
Dump new contacts immediately into Address Book so I never waste time looking up contact info.
-
Make ‘no’ the default answer for new project/app review/etc. requests.

’m checking email Dr. Pepper style, at 10,2 and 4. Batching should help, and also making it a sprint to process my inbox within 10 to 15 minutes. ‘Reply to’ stuff goes in that folder. Stuff I note and might want later goes to ‘Archive’. Stuff I never need again gets deleted. You can delete a ton of your email. Really. Process voice mails at the same time. (I’ll also do an RSS feed run at these times. I’ll reward myself with a flickr/twitter/mefi review if I’m a good boy.)

-
30 minute meeting increments by default. I’ll need a good reason why our meeting needs to go longer than half an hour. My hunch is, with prep on all sides, no meeting should really go longer.
-
No impromptu meetings unless it’s really an emergency. And it rarely is.
-
* Stop trying to accomodate a global work schedule. Again, unless it’s really mandatory or unavoidable, I work during my work hours, not those in other parts of the world.
-
* Make ‘no’ the default answer for new project/app review/etc. requests. New things should earn their way into the attention field.

Joseph ThornleyYou are what you pay attention to.
I had a “no mas” moment. I have a project generating a ridiculous amount of non-productive email. -

Chris TagalotI read Tim Ferris’ 4 Hour Work Week, which unhinged my mind and helped me think totally differently about goals, workflow, and being a stringent gatekeeper of your time. (If you like 43folders, you’ll like 4 Hour Work Week.) owl
