I have decided that I am going to apply some principles from “The Four Hour Work Week”. I find myself being entirely too fractured during the day and I need to limit my distractions and make sure I am most effective for my team.
The first thing I am going to try is not checking email all day, all the time. I began this process last night. I have decided to check my email at 11AM and 4PM daily. This has been an incredible challenge. I keep wanting to grab my phone. I am desperate to see what is happening and if I am missing anything. So far, so good… nothing groundbreaking has happened that I needed to know about in the last few hours. I will update in a few days to let everyone know how this is going. So far this is similar to when I quit smoking. It feels good, but it still hurts.
Has anyone out there done this successfully?.. and if so- how did it go?

This was not useful and dumb. It worked for about 3 days.
