Email is a huge time waster for just about everyone. I'm not saying don't check or respond to your email. I'm saying control yourself around your email so it doesn't dictate your workflow. And Jay, you can respond immediately - once people understand that you check your email only a certain times per day. What will happen is they'll either wait to email you or wait for your response once they understand that when you'll be checking email. Remember, we’re talking about getting things done.

I am a marketing research consultant and work out of my home-based office. One of the best tips I've found is to leave something unfinished at the end of the day. I find it's easier to get into something that's already been started the following day, then to start from scratch. Hi Dawud -

What I've found is that being fully accessible doesn't serve my clients, really because it makes it too easy for them not to work things out on their own - which ultimately erodes their autonomy with their business. And it certainly hurts my workflow, which, in turn, hurts both my business and my clients because I have less focused time for them.

It increases my productivity by almost 50%! With the use of the Unschedule, a tool recommended in the Now Habit book, I've managed to incorporate more play while maintaining a higher quality of productivity. Excellent. For those who's interested, do read this article that I've written on the Unschedule : <b><a href="http://www.goal-setting-college.com/motivation/want-to-be-more-productive-play-more/" rel="nofollow"> Want to be Productive?
