Then I implemented a new rule:
Posted: Thu Jan 30, 2025 5:32 am
I respond to emails two to three times a day.
And I try to stick to this to this day.
In practice, it looks like this: when I have completed the two or three most important tasks of the day, usually around 11:00–12:00, I sit down to emails and respond to them in batches. When I am done, I immediately close the email so that I am not distracted by more notifications. I sit down to emails again at the end of the day.
If it happens that I still have the strength, space and opportunity in the evening, for example when my son goes to bed early, then I may still reply to messages.
4. Manage your to-do list
Both I and my entire company use Asana. For me personally, this program has everything mexico rcs data I need to manage my time. Both professional and private. I enter literally everything there, even the need to refill toothpaste. Thanks to this, I don't worry about having to remember something or forgetting something important.
And in connection with Asana, I would like to recommend two things that I have implemented myself.
The first is that despite the many great features this program offers, it also has one drawback – the to-do list can overwhelm you.
When there are a lot of them, it's often unclear which ones are the most important. I often scrolled through them and wondered which one to start with. True, you can arrange them according to priority, color-code them, and there are even special tools for this (for example, Todoist), but these methods never helped me. I was paralyzed by the fact that when I did one task, there were already 20 more waiting in the queue, which would soon be, or maybe already are, overdue.
