Eliminate interruptions

The only way to focus is to eliminate interruptions.

Close your office door. Give your kids a project to work on while you write your letter. 

Divert your calls to someone else.

The To Do list

Write a NOT To Do List

Write a list of what you're doing each week that you want to stop doing.

 

Are you involved in activities that you don't enjoy?

 

Are you always helping someone out, and never getting any time-saving favours in return?

 

Are you tired of dinner being interrupted by the telephone? Remember, you have the power to say 'No'.

 

The choice is yours.
