Time Saving Tips

I have been listening this audiobook by Timothy Ferris. There are a lot of good time saving tips, work and not work related.

1. Don't read the newspaper and don't watch the news on TV. Same old junk stories, just a different day, all of the time.

2. Don't multi task. You think you are getting more done at once. But the truth is, you are only doing a lot at once and getting nothing accomplished.

3. Don't mirco manage. You will nickle and dime yourself for a nickle and a dime. Organization is necessary, but you could be more effective with your time than mirco managing.

4. Don't follow politics, but still vote. Let someone else you trust do the research.

5. Check email twice a day. 11:00AM & 4:00PM. If you constantly check your email, your clients will automatically think they can email you whenever and get a response immediately. Truth is, you will spend more time emailing back and forth than resolving any important issue over the phone.

6. Focus is key. Did you ever notice your best work has come from doing it at the last minute? That is because you are focused! Doesn't matter if your assignment was given to you two days ago or a month ago, you will be more focused at the last minute because the assignment is on your mind and you have to get it done now.
