Write down everything that’s on your mind for a week. Does this free your mind? |
|---|---|
|
After that week, sit down and process everything you wrote… do one of the following actions for each and every item: Do it, Delegate it, Defer it, Archive it, Trash it. |
|
Find mechanisms to delegate, defer, and archive both email and paper items. |
|
Schedule a weekly processing time in your calendar. DO THIS OR ELSE! |
|
Change your voicemail greeting and email out-of-office message so it encourages people to contact someone else for routine stuff. |
|
Change your voicemail to an ‘extended absence greeting’ and leave it there so people are required to press ‘1′ before being allowed to leave a message. |
|
When you’re taking a day or a week off, change your voicemail and Out-of-office greetings so it tells people you’re not only out of office but intending to blanket ignore any voicemails or emails left during your absence! |
|
Unsubscribe from every email list you’re on except the ones you really, really care about. |
|
Say ‘no’ more often! |
