Blocking out your time to read and answer email fits nicely into your social media system where you allot time to answer email, interact on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn and write your blog posts. Thanks for stopping by! Dave,

Recently I started to block out my days so that I only check email 2-3 times in very short periods. It's amazing how much more you can accomplish when you're not checking email every 5min!

I am always amazed every week when it seems to go from Monday to Friday directly! So we need to use each hour as best we can and still have time for ourselves. Your post and its references made me realize that I've been eliminating the non-essentials from my business and focusing on what is important (and I'm still too busy). I'm open to other ideas as well. Thanks for your inspiration! Valeria – Time is too precious. I am always amazed every week when it seems to go from Monday to Friday directly!

I like where you've taken the concept - decluttering as focus. I keep joking that I'm working on a widget that makes time. One can be focused in relationship building as well, as long as there is some regular time dedicated to just having fun and being serendipitous in your plan, too. Sometimes the best connections develop through "accidents". Thank you for reading, Debra. I like where you’ve taken the concept – decluttering as focus.
