What is the first thing you do when you turn on your computer? For me, it is checking my email, follow by returning all those sometimes-I-think not so important messages, then surfing the net, reading articles about diving, science, the world etc, obviously there is also facebook... and before I know it, it is ALREADY afternoon!
I always lament that I do not have enough time! However, I think too much time has been wasted on trivial stuffs. I want to spend more time on the various items :
- working out to feel healthy and good
- writing my journal paper
- research, reading for my PhD
- my website and blog
So, today is my first step.... I am a compulsive email checker! And this is certainly one area I can cut down. I started using a program call AwayFind, which will scan the messages on my Gmail. It will notify me whenever I received an important email. Thus, I do not need to constantly checking my emails every 3 seconds!
First step to be more efficient.
I tried that method - having my phone synchronized with my email and fb, but i'm still a compulsive checker. fail.
