It's scary...but I've just spent the last 6 hours catching up on my emails from the last 2 weeks!
Where did that time go?
Ever put things off like that...only to have to 'bite the bullet' and spend a huge chunk of time 'catching up'?
I've done it...certainly more than I would like to, that's for sure.
Of course...there is a way around this.
Answer the damn emails as they come in!
So...that's what I am going to do. Just to prove to myself that I can.
Want to join me?
Now...I don't mean that I am going to let email INTERRUPT what I am doing - oh no!
What I mean is that, once I open it...then I'm going to DO SOMETHING with it!
It's a bit like all those personal development books you read. You're too busy thinking about the next one to buy when you finish one...that any good intentions go out of the window.
Follow through is crucial...IMMEDIATE ACTION is even more so!
So...next time you think about putting something off because you can't really be bothered to so it now...remember that, when it comes around to doing it eventually...you sure don't want to have a LOT of stuff to do that you can't really be bothered with at the SAME TIME!
It's my new rule...if it's open...it's DONE!
