Thanks,
Richard.

Yaro makes a good point when he says that he came up with his own system for managing his email after taking some advice from others.

The truth is that we ALL need to do that — but the problem is that we don’t really think about designing our own productivity systems. It’s a task that we ALL have to do as entrepreneurs simply because there is no off-the-shelf system that works for everyone.

It’s really a process of testing, practicing and refining until we invent something that works for us — and even then we need to know that it might change as the business grows, and for example, as the amount of email we get expands.

I’ve been a TV addict for a long time. Even after I got married, my wife has tried unsuccessfully to deter me from spending hours watching TV.

However, without any effort on my part, I discovered that for about a month now, I have watched less TV because of my passion to get my blog going in top shape. I work 7.30 to 5.30 and spend an average of 3hours on the road. So, I only have the evenings for reading books or watching TV (which is my favorite) Since I started my blog, I have been spending a lot of time reading e-books about blogging. I read till late in the night, so naturally, I had to sacrifice the time that I would have spend watching TV.

To be candid, my life has become better for it. The books that I have been reading have impacted my life as a whole, not just my online business.

Concerning sugar, I still have to work on that. I love anything sweet! I’ve got to break the habit.

Nice post Yaro. The best example of the effects of sugar are on children. Watch the bahavioural changes of a child from having processed sugar to not having it you will be amazed. I am also glad to hear someone else thinks that the new shows on television are completely crap.

I will give it a go and see if my productivity increases. – Adam

Hi Yaro,

It sounds like a working title for a new self improvement product – TECS. (TV, email, cleaning, sugar).

Sugar: I have observed the rollercoaster effects of sugar in groups of teenagers at a local school. We have created a world of toxic foodstuffs and some of our generation are making a living by selling them to our children.

Television (derived from telovisina: telo – to pour out, visina – raw sewage). It boggles the mind how many $100,000,000 is spent annually on the networks, transmitters, production teams and allied industries in order to deliver what mostly amounts to raw sewage into our homes.

Cleaning: You must be a tidy nut with so much time between visits.

Email: I have just finished an extended break from work and I have developed a habit of sorting through emails real fast. The delete key sure is your friend.

PS. I made up the TV metaphor – it is not real, it just seems that way.

I recently hired someone to take care of the house cleaning and I have never spent a more satisfying $40! Instead of worrying about something I hate to do and trying to fit time into my busy schedule to do it, I can now work a little extra and pay someone else to do the thing I hate – clean!
