Escape that Lazy Thought

Don't get trapped under lazy thought. Strengthen your time management skills, and stop mistaking that e-mail account and smart phone for real work.

Media surrounds our daily lives, and it's all accessible with the push of a button. Resist the urge. Responding to dozens of e-mails throughout your day will feel productive. It will even reduce the burden of the typical 9 - 5 day. Yet, at the end of the day, what have you really accomplished?

Read Tim Ferriss's "The 4 Hour Workweek." You will learn that "being busy" is in fact another "form of laziness." Tim recommends the following, which I wholeheartedly support:

• Before you go to bed, write down one or two "real work" items that you would like to accomplish during the next working day. Examples include writing a blog, developing a project proposal, reading 100 pages of that book that's been sitting on your desk for the past 3 months.

• Actually accomplish those tasks. 

So, please give these recommendations a shot, and share some comments on your results!
