Schedule Time To Check Email

Avoid this morning time-stealer. Do not start your day reviewing e-mail. Chances are you will get off-schedule and find yourself responding to other people's needs instead of yours.

Plan your day first and then allow a set amount of time to browse e-mails quickly. Set a timer and pay attention to it. Quit when it rings. If time allows, give another quick look later in the day. Learn to delete, especially ads from strangers.
