Today we are talking about Principle #4 to Eliminating Distractions which is to stop spending so much time on social media to see what other people are posting, especially if you don’t need it to do it to directly generate revenue.  Just don't get on it - because once you do, you're more likely to get sucked into it.  If you have to get your fix, do it at the end of the work day or a set time during the day.  Set a time that you honor - say, any time after 4pm and don't get on it before then, unless you absolutely have to.

I strongly recommend to most people I coach to not check email first thing in the morning because it can derail them from what they should be doing. You can choose to let people know when you will check email, so they don’t expect an immediate response, if you want to. Here’s an example of an email I received from someone:

“I appreciate your email. 
 
 In order to stay focused and maintain my personal effectiveness, I generally check email only once per day (Monday through Friday). If you are a client and need immediate service or attention, please call my office at (555) 778-5623.
 
 Thank you,
 NAME”

Tune in tomorrow for Principle #5 to help you reduce and eliminate distractions from your life. If this concept applies to you, how will you apply it to help you be more time efficient?
