如何做时间的管理者？

33. Don’t stop everything. When you get interrupted because someone has something that needs to get done, don’t stop everything you are doing to do it now. Consider what you are working on and other priorities and place it where it belongs in the sequence on your To-Do List.

34. Turn off unnecessary notifications. Every notification you get on your computer or phone is an interruption that diverts your attention, stymies productivity, and annoys those around you.

35. Set email boundaries. Use self-control and only check email two to three times a day (unless you are in a business that requires you to continually monitor your emails). Constantly checking and returning emails is a time waster.

36. Limit social media use. Unless you are using social media to grow your business, limit the amount of time you spend on such sites as Facebook and Twitter. If it is part of your business-marketing efforts, determine the return you are getting on your efforts and decide if the return is worth the time. Be honest with yourself; if you are spending too much time on these sites, set boundaries and stick with them.

37. Allocate the appropriate amount of time. If you allow people 30 minutes of your time to discuss something, it will take 30 minutes. If you give them 20 minutes, it will take 20 minutes. Determine how much time you should allocate to someone’s request, and tell them up front how much time you have blocked out.
